Use single backquotes [`] to
higlight on a single line.
As mentioned from others the menu-point </> in the editor window will do everything for you.
@hamrheadcorvette @computersavvy @ilikelinux I tried using code blocks there:
When I click </> on the toolbar of the editor one ` character is inserted at the beginning and one character at the end. The result is the same when I type one character at the beginning and one character at the end (manually).
But when I type three ``` characters at the beginning and at the end the result is also the same as with the above methods.
@kparal I checked in Software=>Updates whether it now says ‘Last checked: 3 weeks ago’. But now 6 updates are displayed. However, when I executed
before, a lot more than 6 packages were displayed. I didn’t get an update notification, yet.
This is when you want to format a text block and the text not has to be highlighted. But in this case you have to make a new line to put your text and a new line to close the text block:

Highlighting the full text to be formatted before clicking on the </> button should properly display the full text.
Similarly putting the ``` characters on the lines before the text and after the text should do the same. To retain formatting it is important these characters not be seen as part of the text.
A single ` or triple ``` on the same line does the highlight instead of formatting it.
@kparal Meanwhile I installed the 6 updates displayed in Software=>Updates.
I didn’t get ‘new’ update notifications before or after installing the updates.
Just as usual. From the gnome overview.
Gnome software hides a lot of updates into System Updates item that is displayed as the first one in the list. Clicking on it shows you the included packages.
You haven’t responded to the above question.
So far it seems that gnome-software works correctly, but packagekit doesn’t refresh the repository in the background regularly, as expected. Do you remember doing any custom changes to gnome-software or packagekit configuration?

@kparal Sorry, I still don’t understand this part:
I executed gnome-software --quit and also
gnome-software --quit
# now start gnome-software again from the menu
, where I assume, that the second line is only a comment. Then I only get a ‘new’ command prompt and nothing further happens. No menu is displayed. What does now start gnome-software again from the menu mean and what exactly or specifically do I need to do now?
Ah. Do you mean the Software app? I thought of everything but not that. I don’t know why.
Yes
Yes. Just click its icon, same as any other app.
What about that metered connection?

@kparal I installed all displayed updates yesterday. Today in Software=>Updates it says:
Up to date
Last checked: 3 weeks ago
Output:
gsettings get org.gnome.software check-timestamp
int64 1703601432
No, it didn’t change.
I assume that with ‘Metered connection checkbox’ you mean the last checkbox at the bottom (german):
Getaktete Verbindung: Mit beschränktem Datenvolumen oder potentiellen Kosten
Software-Aktualisierungen und andere große Downloads werden nicht automatisch gestartet.
The checkbox wasn’t and isn’t checked.
Perhaps it plays a role that I had a WiFi (my connection) problem twice. The WiFi symbol on the WiFi/Volume/Battery button on the top right of the screen turned into a ? and the connection was interrupted. I don’t know why. Once, I clicked on the WiFi/Volume/Battery button and then a few times on WiFi to turn it off/on but the connection wasn’t established again. Approximately 5 minutes later the connection was re-established without doing anything.
As far as I remember, I didn’t make such changes.
This usually means the wifi (or wired) connection is still good but that the internet side of the connection is no longer functional. Something has disconnected on the ISP side of your connection but the connection between the PC and your router/modem is still valid.

@coffee At this point I think you should report a bug against gnome-software, and the developer can try to pinpoint the problem for your particular case. Please report it here:
You can link this discussion to provide some additional details, and also post a link to that bug report here, so that any affected users can follow it and participate as well.
Until it’s fixed, the workaround for you is to regularly open gnome-software → Updates, and manually check for updates and install them.

@kparal When I tried to register with GNOME GitLab, my email address was rejected. Could you or any other user report the bug for me, please?
Sorry, that doesn’t really make sense. You need to be in contact with the developer. Please either try a different email, or ask GNOME infra folks to look at the problem, and create your account manually if needed. Probably best at GNOME Discourse or on Matrix.
Solution of the GNOME GitLab members (Thanks): Settings app>Energy/Power>Energy mode:
The “Save energy” is what pauses updates in the Software. Use Balanced, which might be the default.

In other words, using Power Saver mode means, that Gnome gives the user the responsibility back to check for updates and do them whenever is best for it.
I will update the title to see what the cause of your question was.
Thanks for updating the topic with the solution, Bernd. I had no idea this can be affected by the energy mode.

You’re welcome.

But if my laptop has a core i7 I’m always on “Power Saver” and I don’t miss any power. When connected to an outlet, I definitely do not expect Fedora to skimp on (important) update notifications.
Is this really as Fedora Devs want it to be?
