Okay thanks, good to know. I don't have it installed on my system so couldn't check it out. IIRC you can also disable via the services manager in the KDE settings.
I believe not, but if possible, I would really like to know. I do not see that option!
I'll note that packagekitd is not running on my system, though it is installed. In KDE: Configure Desktop --> Startup and Shutdown --> Service Manager and uncheck the box for Apper. (In my opinion, that should be the default) Also: Right click on the tray, select "System Tray Settings" and uncheck the box for "Software Updater". (Note that if enabled, Software Updater still works, even if Apper is not running; that's why I think turning off Apper should be the default). If packagekitd is running, those changes won't stop it. But after a reboot, it won't run Presumably, if you start Apper from the menus, that will again start packagekitd. The settings for Gnome are harder to find, and require that you install "dconf-editor". I don't remember where to look (the path is a bit obscure), and I'm not currently logged into Gnome so I can't look for it. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
