Description

In every whisperback report we receive since Tails 2.0, there is a bunch of

 amnesia gnome-session[2526]: (gnome-settings-daemon:2609): PackageKit-WARNING **: failed to set proxy: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.freedesktop.PackageKit was not provided by any .service files

and

amnesia gnome-session[2526]: (gnome-settings-daemon:2609): updates-plugin-WARNING **: failed to set proxies: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.freedesktop.PackageKit was not provided by any .service files

it may not be an real error but since it contains this word in its message, and due to the number of those, that make it really hard for us to search for actual errors in the logs.

Segfault, do you mind to take a look at that ?

I’ve proposed a generic solution that should address our help desk’s problem on Bug #11662#note-2.

This dconf settings snippet might be enough to get rid of these warnings:

[org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/updates]
active = false

segfault, are you still interested in working on this? Wanna try this idea?

I don’t see these warnings anymore in the journal on 3.15 and feature/buster.
