Updates Are Not Automatic
I am having an issue where updates will not happen automatically, I think its related to the metered network connection check for updates.
I am on a desktop, so laptop power restrictions are not a factor. My network connection is not set to metered, running the system updater or ujust update in the terminal will perform updates, and in the software app the option to turn on automatic updates is grayed out. I have changed all the power management settings to maximum performance and I have double checked my network settings. I understand that Bazzite is supposed to update automatically but I know it's not because every time I run ujust update there are many updates that happen. If it was updating on a regular basis then running the updates manually wouldn't produce many updates. I did check the update configuration with ujust toggle-config and it is set to automatic.
Thoughts?

try run
ujust toggle-updates in the terminal and see if you get
If it's disabled try enable it and see if that helpsThere is currently a bug that affects some people where the automatic updater for whatever reason tries to run
sudo dnf update instead of rpm-ostree update
please use manual updating through the system update application on the desktop if you are affectedIt is set to enabled
This has been an issue since I installed Bazzite a year ago. I have manually updated for a year, I'd really like to be able to stop checking for updates on my own.
This is from the Bazzite help guide online:
check
systemctl status ublue-update.serviceHow do I disable automatic updates for Desktop images?¶
Note
There is a check in-place to disable automatic updates if the metered connection setting is enabled.
Open a host terminal and enter this command:
ujust toggle-updates
your issue, at least previously would not have been related to the current bug
would been something else
ran that, got a super long output. Do you want it all?
yes
put it inside a code block

unrelated issue.
its complaining about flatpak, what does
ujust update do?Successfully completes updates
There is the output from running ujust update
makes no sense why it would complain about flatpaks then
There is a note in that output about GNOME 45 being end of life. Is that an issue?
no its just saying one of your flatpak applications relies on an outdated runtime, ignore it unless its still there half a year from now
Ok.
then you should find out which and ask the flatpak dev that relies on it whats up
I think its Ryujinx
── 12:24:47 - Flatpak System Packages ──────────────────────────────────────────
Looking for updates…
Info: (pinned) runtime org.gnome.Platform branch 45 is end-of-life, with reason:
The GNOME 45 runtime is no longer supported as of September 18, 2024. Please ask your application developer to migrate to a supported platform.
Nothing to do.
Odd though that its part of the system flatpack section
makes sense
no more updates from ryujinx ever
Is that a system package though?
because we only provide the flathub system remote, the user one is close to useless
no
flatpak is not system package
if you use ryujinx youre stuck with that until you find an alternative, close to nothing you can do
I really don't I can probably uninstall it
Back to the updates issue, any other thoughts?
nope no idea
we are planning to at some point replace the current updater with uupd
Maybe I'll just have to wait then for that.
Really odd that it's been over a year though.
yeah your issue is not the one we are currently facing with random users
Hmm
