Hello everyone,
To day I received a notification telling me that important OS updates were ready to install.
Instead of installing them from the software center though, I went ahead and opened up terminal and ran
sudo dnf upgrade --refresh
because i like the --refresh command a lot. Well, my question is, is it the same to run the updates from terminal and from the software center? does it matter from where they are ran?
The other question, totally unrelated, is: does anyone know/use a sound theme that is not the default one, and believe it's a good sound theme? if so, where can I get it, and how can I install a sound theme in Fedora?
Thank you for any answer.
Best regards.
Francisco.

Yes, it's the same. No, it doesn't really matter. The difference is that the software center will setup an offline update, so you need to reboot to run it. dnf also now has this option if you use the right command (it's new).
Hello,
Ah, I see, thanks.
After the offline update is set up, and the update is done though, does the cash clear automatically, or does it have to be cleared manually?
Best regards.
Francisco.

Either system will clear its own cache, but there used to be a problem with Packagekit collecting updates and never clearing them if you used dnf to update. I know there was some discussion about it and that might be somehow fixed now.

I didn't know that. What is the option? A quick search of 'reboot' and 'offline' in the man page doesn't show anything.

Possibly the dnf-automatic package?
Description : Systemd units that can periodically download package upgrades and : apply them.

I think not. I installed that just to look at its man page and although it does allow automatic (i.e. non-interactive) updates and installs, it says nothing specifically about reboots.

A web search yielded this: https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/dnf-offline-upgrading-is-now-availabl...
It appears the functionality is in a plugin, which is probably why the documentation doesn't appear in dnf's man page.

OK, thanks. I'm happy enough with the usual dnf upgrade, but it'suseful to know this exists.

Yes, it is rather hidden. It's part of the "system-upgrade" plugin which makes sense, but also makes it rather hard to find. "man dnf-system-upgrade" will get you the info. The two new commands are "offline-distrosync" and "offline-upgrade".
