Bug ID: 1249314 Summary: yumex-dnf is not following the install only_limit config parameter default 3 Product: Fedora Documentation Version: devel Component: software-management-guide Severity: medium Assignee: docs@lists.fedoraproject.org Reporter: totalitout@gmail.com QA Contact: docs-qa@lists.fedoraproject.org CC: docs@lists.fedoraproject.org

User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Fedora; Linux x86_64; rv:39.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/39.0 Build Identifier:

Using yumex-dnf when installing an updated kernel, the oldest kernel is not removed. All kernels remain installed, apparently without limit. The default to keep only the 3 newest kernels is ignored. Running: dnf update removes excess kernels, the limit of 3 is observed.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce: 1.Open yumex-dnf, run update. 2.Reboot to load updated kernel. 3.Kernel list displays more than 3 installed kernels. Actual Results: More than 3 kernels remain installed. The install only_limit config parameter default 3 is ignored.

Expected Results: Oldest kernel should be removed. No more than 3 kernels should remain installed.

No error message. Didn't have any indication of a problem except when rebooting noticed the excess kernels listed. This needs to be fixed. It could cause unaware users to run out of space in their /boot partition.
