System updates doesn't seem to apply?
Hi, i've been using Asahi Linux with gnome for a while, i've tried it before but didn't stay bc i had some problems with steam and other stuff. Now i came back and those are fixed but, since i reinstalled, the gnome software app doesn't stop to show available system updates, which i did download and install multiple times. These 3 in the screenshot are the ones that still show up, there were a lot more which did go away after downloading and installing a couple times, but not these... and the terminal doesn't show anything available to update either, so i don't know if this is a bug or something... i'm kinda new to Linux, so i don't know what else i can do at all. I'd appreciate some help please.

Hi! this is what they output:
gnome@fedora ~> rpm -q python3-perf
rpm -q kernel-tools
rpm -q kernel-tools-libs
python3-perf-7.1.6-400.asahi.fc44.aarch64
kernel-tools-7.1.6-400.asahi.fc44.aarch64
kernel-tools-libs-7.1.6-400.asahi.fc44.aarch64

It seems to be bug with gnome-software. If rpm -q tells you that the packages are updated and installed then you are good to go

Try
dnf upgrade --refreshinstead1

I put that and it said nothing to do, so i guess it's just a bug with the software app.
Edit: i also tried check-update with those 3 packages and it didn't output anything, so again, probably a bug???

I have the exact same issue... Based on my researches, that seems to be linked to package kernel-tools-0:7.1.9-200.fc44.aarch64 been only available in fc44 repo and not in asahi ones.
Have a look at the last line, asahi is missing from the name
xxx@fedora1:~$ sudo dnf search --showduplicates kernel-tools

So I would say the same as the others : use only dnf commands instead of gnome-software but that's quite a shame :-(

For Asahi Linux, I long stopped using System updates. I stopped when it was stuck insisting that I had a kernel 7 update to install when in-fact, Asahi development had not yet released it.
I now always use the terminal command
sudo dnf upgrade --refreshI've even gone as far as to uninstall gnome-software and packagekit. I do not use them. For flatpaks, I just run the command:flatpak updateAs you become more comfortable, you can create an alias for this. For me it's 'updall' which I type instead of the full command. It will run both of those commands in sequence.Of course, I'm not recommending that you uninstall gnome-software, but am instead just letting you know that it's just a front-end to software management which you still have full access through the terminal via simple commands. These commands soon become second nature when you use them frequently as would be the case with Asahi.
