Hi,

I have several Alma Linux 8 and Alma Linux 9 boxes. Some of them (strangely not all) are running automatic updates:

- some boxes at boot time

- other with a pop-up in a user session (requesting also to reboot). These session are using Gnome or KDE

I've done some investigation with google, disabling automatic download for dnf, but automatic updates still occur and I do not found where I can disable this.

That looks strange for me is that deployment is kickstarted based with similar kickstart file with the same initial rpm base (then I update all the rpms with dnf)

This behaviour is not correct in a professional  environment as we must have stable libraries versions and run updates intentionally.

Thanks for your help

Patrick

Hi Patrick, I think this problem is not related to dnf directly but instead on Gnome Software center or Plasma update <something>. I disabled them one time. I'm using XFCE and this problem is not available, neither on server instances without running DE. Hope that helps. Best regards, Alessandro.
