False notification of "All selected qubes have been updated" when "Update qube" button not really functioning

TNTBOMBOM commented 2 months ago

Qubes OS release

4.2.2-rc1

Brief summary

Im not sure where is the problem lying but i highly see it as:

Dom0 was based on fedora-39-minimal and update qube button was working for templates, now when i switched it to fedora-40-minimal, the button shows false notification thats everything have been updated.

Expected behavior

If a button is not functioning, it shouldnt show false notification that everything is ok, at least it should show an error message.
This missing package better to be mentioned somewhere here because its an important package to the whole OS (if im not mistaken).

Report is missing steps to reproduce. How exactly are you triggering the false "success" message?

Sorry thought it was easy to know from the previous explanation, but will give you the full details:

Install fedora-40-minimal (Install as well debian-12 or fedora-40 fresh from dom0 to test on, and dont upgrade them)

Note: For better usability install xfce4-terminal so you can easily copy/paste the texts: (its confusing why its not their by default but this is not the point here..)

qvm-run -u root fedora-40-minimal xterm

Inside xterm run:

dnf upgrade --refresh && dnf install xfce4-terminal

Now close xterm, and open xfce4-terminal from dom0 as a root:

qvm-run -u root fedora-40-minimal xfce4-terminal

Now copy/paste the following packages (enough for my usage):

dnf install nano qubes-core-agent-networking pipewire pipewire-qubes qubes-core-agent-dom0-updates qubes-usb-proxy qubes-input-proxy-sender qubes-core-agent-network-manager network-manager-applet notification-daemon

Close the root xfce4-terminal window and open a user level xfce4-terminal from the same dom0 terminal (or run xfce4-terminal as shortcut app)

qvm-run -u user fedora-40-minimal xfce4-terminal

Then run this command as a non-root user:

systemctl --user enable pipewire-pulse.service

Now shutdown fedora-40-minimal, and open Qubes global config and switch Default template to fedora-40-minimal then press on OKand close it.
Go to default-dvm qube settings (which sys-firewall,sys-net,sys-usb using) and switch the default template to fedora-40-minimal
Finally click on any other template from Qubes manager lets say fedora-40 or debian-12 (full/standard) and press on Update qube button
Should have the same result as mine.

Sounds like maybe fedora-40-minimal is missing some required package(s) by default, similar to https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/9343.
