Fedora 43 Workstation: "Install pending updates" checkbox not working properly on Gnome's "Power Off..." dialog

Hey everyone,

I ran into a small issue after upgrading to Fedora 43. The “Install pending updates” checkbox does not operate properly when selected on Gnome’s “Power Off…” dialog. The first time through the dialog, it does nothing. The second time, it shuts down and only boots into the offline update environment after the machine is manually turned back on. Anyone experiencing this issue, or have a quick fix?

Software

  • Fedora 43 workstation, upgraded via command line from Fedora 42.
  • Gnome Software
  • Gnome 49
  • Linux 6.17.5-300.fc43.x86_64

Hardware

  • Framework 13 laptop
  • AMD Ryzen™ 5 7640U w/ Radeon™ 760M Graphics
  • 32GB DDR5

Edit: Sorry, this is a duplicate. Fedora 43 Workstation won't shut down if "apply pending updates" is selected

Yes. I’m having a similar problem. When I postpone the installation and press the power button, the computer doesn’t shut down. I have to press it a second time, then it shuts down but doesn’t update.

After shutting down (if there’s a pending update), it turns on, updates, and shuts down again. It then needs to be turned back on.
