Disabling GNOME Software's updates

[Arcitec]

What happened?

Does anyone have ideas for getting rid of this jank? The fact that uBlue images show the upstream silverblue update notifications, and that clicking Update just leads to an error.

But I am glad that it just leads to an error and doesn't actually revert to silverblue at least.

It would be great if someone knows a way to totally disable this "system update check" in GNOME Software, maybe it's possible via some dconf setting or a system config file.

Edit: Or even better, being able to make it point at uBlue instead, and work properly. But I guess that won't be possible until Fedora 39 integrates OCI.

Okay, the update notification can be removed by getting rid of this package:

rpm-ostree override remove gnome-software-rpm-ostree

After that, GNOME Software slightly breaks though:

• Search still works.
• Installing flatpaks still works.
• The "featured" and categories (such as "Work", "Socialize") etc are all empty now.

I am gonna re-install the package and live with it. But if anyone has more ideas about how to tweak this, it would be nice if we could solve this before Fedora 39.

Hopefully when they switch to OCI we may get some upstream collaboration to make it possible to support ublue and other spins. Heck, it may already be possible. Since Fedora has many immutable spins, they may be using soem config file on disk somewhere which sets the paths/refs to use. If we can change that to point at what uBlue uses, it might start working.
