http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=902577 Helen Brockman changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |h@brox.eclipse.co.uk --- Comment #4 from Helen Brockman --- I'm running OpenSuSE 13.2 with all current updates, 3.16.6-2-desktop kernel and KDE on a Thinkpad B5400 laptop installed 26Oct2014 and have this bug when clicking on an RPM file in Dolphin or Konqueror. Don't recall seeing it on a previous installation of OpenSuSE 13.2 I had a few weeks earlier (also kept updated). Running "apper ----backend-details" from the command line reports PackageKit 1.0.0 and that the backendname is zypp. Installed versions are : yast2 3.1.109-4.2-x86_64 PackageKit 1.0.0-4.1-x86_64 apper 0.9.1-2.1-x86_64 libzypp 14.29.4-2.1-x86_64 On my system the applications for mimetype application/x-rpm in /usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache (I believe these are the Open With applications in a file manager) are : application/x-rpm=kde4-apper_installer.desktop;kde4-ark.desktop; The file /usr/share/applications/kde4/apper_installer.desktop contains the line Exec=apper %F, so (in the absence of any customisations), I think apper %F would be executed when you click on an RPM file in a file manager. If I execute apper as a non-root user on the command line, that opens the "Your current backend does not support installing files" window and seems to start a process called apper-pk-session which lasts a couple of minutes, then dies. If repeated while the apper-pk-session process is still running, it requests root's password, then works. If executed as root user on the command line, it doesn't open the window, but silently fails to install the package. I tried clicking on an RPM file in Dolphin while Software Updater was running (I left SU sitting at the "Additional changes are required to complete the task" window) and in that case a window opens entitled "Install Packages Files", which says "An application wants to install packages", and goes on to ask for root's password and install the package (!!!???) I found a workaround by using YaST instead of apper which I have described in https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/502259-Current-Backend-does-not-s... Happy to provide more info if it helps. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
