Disable automatic updates on FC15

[marmarek]

Reported by marmarek on 10 Jan 2012 12:50 UTC
On Fedora 15 updates are installed automatically, without even noticing the user. This is senseless in AppVM...

This can be turned off by gpk-prefs, but need to be done somehow during template building.

Found a way to check and disable it. As user (!):

$ dconf read /org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/updates/auto-update-type
'security'
$ dconf write /org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/updates/auto-update-type "'none'"

Don't know how to do it system-wide... Above procedure done at template installation phase will not cover eg DispVM (which has no real /home/user).

Ok, found how to override default value for it (defined in GSettings schema file).

This "feature" is extremely annoying when using slow Internet connection and all of your AppVM starts to download updates at the same time...

This will work only for fresh install/new AppVMs. For already existing one should call above dconf command manually, or use gpk-prefs.
