In a posting in the "downsized grub menu" thread, I said:
"Something keeps trying to do automated updates, but I have not been able to figure
out
what, or how to shut it off."
Tim replied, and suggested looking for something similar to MATE's
"mate-session-properties". I'm starting this new thread to address this
issue.
I found a settings gui in gnome, but I cannot find anything (other than
".bashrc" and
".bash_profile") for managing what is automatically started when I log in.
In a LibreOffice thread some time ago, I was advised to install a gnome package called
"Software" so I could install a font needed to replace a discontinued font in
my
LibreOffice products. This is when I started seeing the unwanted update checking and
notices. I have not been able to find a way to configure the package
"Software" at all.
How do I get rid of the unwanted update checking and notifications? By the way, I
manually patch the workstation almost every week with "dnf upgrade". Like some
other
members of this list, I prefer doing this manually.
Caveat, I'm not a regular gnome user. However, a quick google search indicates you
may
find doing
gsettings set org.gnome.software download-updates false
and
systemctl mask packagekit.service
will get you a quiet(er) system.
