Ive read reports of the issue being resolved by removing ~/,kde4/share/config/kioslaverc, however this resolution didnt work for me. I did notice that in this file on the machine that wasnt working it had an additional Proxy Settings block to it with ProxyType=1 [$Version] update_info=kioslave.upd:kde2.2/r1,kioslave.upd:kde2.2/r2,kioslave.upd:kde2.2/r3 [Proxy Settings] ProxyType=1 I removed those lines from the file to match the one on the working machine but it didnt resolve the issue. Also an additional detail, the machines are quite different but the one thing that stands out is that on the machine that didnt have the problem I am using the traditional ifconfig to control my network, on the machine with the problem I am using network manager. Both machines have the same repos setup and on the one where kpackagekit doesnt work, I have no problems using zypper/yast. -- 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.

I started kpackagekit but still had the HTTP_PROXY error message (even after restarting kde). Then I switched back to networkmanager and restarted kde and kpackagekit now works. -- 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.

The real big problem with this bug is that in my PC Kpackagekit system tray doesn't appear at all (I've seen the error going to KDE system settings), so you are not advised that there are problems with system updates. This is really a wrong behavior for a program that does system updates, it has never happened with previous SUSE Update applet. I think severity of the bug should be raised from 'normal' to 'critical' -- 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.

KPackagekit worked yesterday afternoon, but today when I booted this laptop, it was back to failing to resolve HTTP_PROXY. While I was busy looking at various files, every few minutes I'd see a transient window pop up asking for Authentication required to set proxy (or whatever that message is - it went away before I could record it). I did note that .kde4/share/config/kioslaverc was as I edited it - no [Proxy Settings]. Then I fired up konqueror to read the KDE help, and next time I looked at the kioslaverc, the [Proxy settings] was back. I repeated the edit to remove it, logged out and back in, and now KPackageKit is working! Where is the reference to HTTP_PROXY coming from? -- 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.

I have the same .kde4/share/config/kioslaverc (without [Proxy Settings]) in both ~ and ~root. But I still can't get kpackagekit to run from my desktop - just tried it, and 'can't resolve HTTP_PROXY'. -- 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.
