It would be helpful to know where in kupdateapplet the error notification comes from Thomas: is there a chance that an alsa restart triggers some policykit error that kupdateapplet reports? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

This is fixed now. I've submitted the latest version to my build service repository and it builds. Could you please test 0.8.30 when it's available. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

When I use the ZYpp backend, I get no error messages in the console, just the many popups (in an endless loop). When I use the PackageKit backend, the error string is the following in the console: kupdateapplet(23628) Logics::slotAppletError: ! applet error: "DBus error : org.freedesktop.PackageKit.Transaction.InvalidProvide : provide type 'drivers' not found" And the popus are also here. So, it's more or less like yours. kupdateapplet -v: Qt: 4.4.3 KDE: 4.1.81 (KDE 4.1.81 (KDE 4.2 >= 20081128)) "release 1.1" Updater Applet: 0.8.30 -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
