Q: How can I disable the ‘Update is available’ message, if I don’t want to upgrade?
One of my phones, I want to let it as it is and not upgrade, because it’s ‘heavy tweaked’ and an update likely would damage the OS, and everything is working fine and as it should. But it reminds me permanently that an update is available.
Even deleting the Jolla account doesn’t help. Every day it reminds me many times for the update.
Is there a way to stop this? E.g. terminating or disabling some daemon or service by CLI? Or modifying some qml file?
It was set to manual. It didn’t download anything but only informs that an update is available.
To stop this, I found no option. That’s why I deleted the Jolla account on the phone. I assumed, that this way the phone can’t check for updates any more. But this didn’t help, update reminder is still there a few times a day.
Only guessing, I assume, maybe there is a boolian variable somewhere that says [available version] > [installed version] = true and therefore now shows the message eternally with or without Jolla account.
So my problem is how to set it to false and stop the message, if it’s really this way.
Thanks @olf , now I did so and will report later what happens / if update reminder is in fact disappeared.
edit: The ‘update available’ message didn’t come back any more until now. But can it be that this workaround b affects the ‘charger unplugged’ message?
The ‘charger unplugged’ message is also gone now since I’ve done the workaround b. rm /usr/lib/systemd/user/user-session.target.wants/osupdate-check.timer
as devel-su
Useful question. Especially when update already failed and is impossible. Additionally I would like to know how to (user friendly) disable ANY notifications apart from the processes I choose to allow.
For example: refreshing GPodder podcast program is a pain due to it’s per podcast notification of unability to refresh. Refreshing should be done on the background and these notifications should not impair my multitasking. It is impossible to input search text in Pipepipe YT program while this GPodder notifications are going mad for minutes.
In the “app” settings, I only see that the program has the right to … do notifications. No way to decided by yourself.
Is this normal in Sailfish? Some iPhones are unworkable due to constant popups… let’s not allow this to be a standard.
I don’t see how this could be connected. All the service does is to execute /usr/libexec/sailfish-osupdateservice
FWIW it might be better to mask the service. That way this would survive updates. Hm, there’s a logical error here Anyhow, it’s the systemd way. Not with devel-su:
Anyhow, it’s the systemd way.
