AFAIK this is a KDE application. In Leap it does not honor the settings on how often and when to check for tings and is annoying because you have to click away the "authorization" dialogue.
I don't get any authorization dialog at all. For me on Leap, with official Leap KDE packages, it (plasma5-pk-updates) lets me install updates as a normal user, without any authorization.
I never tried changing the time interval though. Since it only offers daily, weekly and monthly. But it is slightly annoying that it produces notifications multiple times during a session if there are updates available not installed.
Overall, I think it's the best update applet we've had in ages though.
And yes, it's developed on the KDE infrastructure by some Fedora people. But it's not part of the official KDE Plasma releases - at least not yet, maybe it won't be as it depends on PackageKit. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner@opensuse.org

O.K. good to know. Well, the update itself in TW works well. It is in Leap that it does check several times a day no matter what. The authorization dialogue you get it if you use "safe file settings" via Yast in Leap. And this is a positive thing, but I would like it not to check 5 ore more times a day when you have set it to one time per day. Higher frequency for me is not desirable as I receive also the update mailing-list etc. So it is doubtful that I do overlook updates. --- Mail & Cloud Made in Germany mit 3 GB Speicher! https://email.freenet.de/mail/Uebersicht?epid=e9900000450 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner@opensuse.org

This is actually not the fault of the update applet, but more how the PackageKit daemon is being handled within openSUSE. PackageKit is designed to be always active, but in openSUSE this is conflicting with YaST/Zypper as that the zypper database is locked by PackageKit. Therefore the PackageKit daemon only has a short lifecycle with a certain timeout. In Tumbleweed we have an updated version of the Applet that checks the settings first to see if it is allowed to communicate with the PackageKit Daemon. This change prevents that every hour one gets the notification as that the PackageKit Daemon is started by the applet. As far as I know there is an update of the applet on its way to Leap with this particular update.

All they need to do now is when you request that zypper sends a message to packagekit to quit, it actually quits
