Ok, now for 12.2:
I don't know how to get apper back into the task bar. With Alt-F2 "apper" I'm offered 3 different appers:
There are at least two parts. The GUI and the systray icon. The latter only shows if its service is enabled and updates available. the former can either be started via krunner or simply via KDE's systemsettings > software management.
I finally started apper ujsing the first option. It offers 12 updates for my system, while zypper up offers 157.
Selecting most of the 12, apper is going to update 153, looks better, but there is no real progress bar, just a busy indicator.
You could compare the list pkcon get-updates and zypper lu show. They should be the same. Keep in mind that some patches include several packages, apper only shows the patch, zypper the might show the packages. In YOU you get the patches on the left and the list of packages they include on the right. Regarding the progress bar: unfortunaltey the zypper devs still did not implement that feature, i.e. the zypp backend does not forward any progress information thus apper cannot display it. On other distros with different backends that works. :(
Overall: Usable, but not intuitive, feel free to close.
I'm going to make it a duplicate of the progress feature missing bug. Thanks for the feedback! *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 681524 *** http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=681524 -- 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.
