Stop gnome-software breaking yum
Every few days I get a notification "Software Updates Available", clicking on it brings up the software app with the only option to restart and install. Since I universally get this notification right after I've just booted up my computer I'd rather install the updates with yum
than waste time booting up for a second time in a few minutes. However none of the updates are available for yum update
. If I do a yum clean all
then a yum update
then a bunch of updates suddenly appear. However, a few days later the cycle repeats, the notification says there are updates but yum update
says there aren't until another clean all
.
I am concluding that gnome-software
is corrupting the yum
database somehow (though please explain if I'm wrong). So, two questions:
- Can I stop this happening or otherwise investigate what is causing the issue?
- Can I simply remove
gnome-software
, and is there anything to watch out for if I do?
