Shouldn't the install process also automatically stop akonadi for you?
No, that's impossible.
The update/install process is running as root, it cannot stop the users' akonadi(s) that might be running.
Well, it could kill them of course, but that would cause the same possible problems that not stopping Akonadi before the update manually would be able to cause I think.
Could it not pop up a warning that says, "please stop akonadi (with the example command)...... and press Y when done?" I think doing this type of user friendly action makes the process more professional and will hopefully stop a few bug reports
No. You have the same problem again. The installation process running as root cannot connect to the users' X or DBUS session.
PS: Sending a message via "wall" would be possible I think. AFAIK, KDE's "Wall service" is still enabled by default in Plasma5, which would show it as popup to the user. But, you cannot wait for a user response this way (leading to the original problem of akonadi not being stopped when the update is being installed), and you would probably also "annoy" users that are not running KDE or Akonadi at all. So not a "solution" either. Kind Regards, Wolfgang -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner@opensuse.org
