The permission handling between the updater applet and the PackageKit daemon is actually done via PolicyKit. You can adjust its rules if necessary.
Documented where? It looks like chinese to me.
I did:
Telcontar:~ # chmod o-x,g-x /usr/sbin/packagekitd Telcontar:~ # l /usr/sbin/packagekitd -rwxr--r-- 1 root root 287448 Apr 23 02:38 /usr/sbin/packagekitd*
But it is still running, and as the root user.
Well, it is started as "root", so you need to remove its root access permissions if you never want to run packagekit at all.
You say that the control is this:
# package kit # org.freedesktop.packagekit.package-install auth_admin_keep_always org.freedesktop.packagekit.package-install-untrusted auth_admin org.freedesktop.packagekit.system-trust-signing-key auth_admin org.freedesktop.packagekit.package-eula-accept auth_admin_keep_always:auth_admin_keep_always:yes org.freedesktop.packagekit.package-remove auth_admin_keep_always org.freedesktop.packagekit.system-update auth_admin_keep_always org.freedesktop.packagekit.system-rollback auth_admin_keep_always org.freedesktop.packagekit.system-sources-configure auth_admin_keep_always org.freedesktop.packagekit.system-sources-refresh auth_admin_keep_always:auth_admin_keep_always:yes org.freedesktop.packagekit.system-network-proxy-configure auth_admin_keep_always org.freedesktop.packagekit.cancel-foreign auth_admin:auth_admin:auth_admin_keep #
How does this work? The names look arbitrary to me, no guessing what they do, no guessing what names are available. I don't see there how to deny a user to run the daemon and learn there are updates.
That's chinese to me.
auth_admin will ask for admin privileges. auth_admin_keep_always will keep it after you have netered them once. Having all lines with "no" at the end will probably disable them, like: org.freedesktop.packagekit.package-install no CIao, Marcus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
