Upgraded Fedora Kernel - Automatic Updates now also ON?

[Dixxhead]

Hi guys,

today I decided to update the Kernel and all of the packages on my HDA (Amahi 10); it all worked without problems, but I guess now the autoupdates are also enabled...

Since I'm sort of weary to have Fedora beeing updated without me having control over this (ie. making a backup of the OS-Drive before updating), I'm wondering if I can and should revert back to disabled updates.

Am I right in the assumption, that the Amahi-Team basicly just did the following for the standard config (Amahi Updates on; Fedore Updates off):

To disable dnf-makecache.service:

systemctl disable dnf-makecache.service
Also disable the dnf-makecache.timer or the service will be restarted:

systemctl disable dnf-makecache.timer

If yes, I assume I won't lose the automatic amahi updates if I do this, right?

Thanks for your help in advance,

You may.

I have automatic updates enabled on mine using a package called yum-cron. It allows you to control OS updates. I have mine set to download, but not install. Also sends me an email when there are update.

Works quite well for me and no need to configure after a kernel update.

Thanks for the quick reply.

So just to recap:

• I may lose Amahi updates if I disable the makecache.timer.

• Right now I’m set up to receive updates automatically, for amahi, packages and fedora kernel.

• Updates will install automatically, so chances are, that after a reboot I would be running a more recent kernel

My question is, how could I set this back to the standard behavior Amahi ships with. E.g. Auto-updates for Amahi = Yes, Auto-updates for Fedora = No.

If you did the OS update and installed a new kernel, no action is needed.

Updating to a new kernel does not change how updates are done unless you did manual config changes.

BTW by default OS updates do not install by default.
