Having just read this entire thread, and been affected by this once, it
occurs to me that the likely answer has been offered, but I suspect you
may have thought Matthias' reference to “GNOME Software” to be a generic
answer (apologies if I'm wrong). But in fact the name of the relevant
package is gnome-software.
When gnome-software is installed, it runs as a service in the user's
desktop session by default and periodically queries PackageKit for
updates. If the setting org.gnome.software/download-updates is enabled
(the default is enabled), Software asks PackageKit to download updates
in the background.
When updates have been “prepared” by this interaction, the normal
gnome-shell shutdown dialog will show the aforementioned checkbox. At
least with my most recent testing, it is checked by default.
I can reproduce this by commanding PackageKit with
pkcon refresh
pkcon update --only-download
and observe the gnome-shell shutdown prompt now has the checkbox
suggesting to “Install pending software updates” (assuming there are
updates).
Is this enough to go on to move this to a report against gnome-software?
Cheers,
