Re: F32: Failed to update

Hello,
I have the following error - below - and I wonder how to fix it? I
have noticed that some dialogues on F32 - used by the document viewer
and the editor for example - are very unresponsive and can take
perhaps more than 30 seconds or longer to allow lists to be scrolled
and buttons to be active.
I have repeatedly had this dialogue and so waiting for another update
doesn't seem like the right choice.
Any suggestions?
Thank-you,
Andrew

After start-up - the Gnome desktop appears - there's lots of disc
activity and this window appears:
*Failed to Update*
We're sorry that the update failed to install. Please wait for an
update and try again. If the problem persists, contact your software
provider.

next time these delays are happening, open up a terminal and run "htop"
and see what is using all your cpu. if it's not installed you can run
"dnf install htop". Check your log with "journalctl -b -0" or
similar,
when some gui thing happens and you don't know what it is caused by.
regarding the fwupd message: a quick web search shows that this is
gnome-software trying to update your firmware and failing. all your
problems are probably due to gnome-software. document-viewer and gedit
slowness is due to something else using all the system resources in the
background: probably gnome-software related. I already told you about
alternatives to gnome-software in a previous email so i leave that/this
to you.
