What is the intended way to stop Package kit nagging user(s) in KDE and openSuse 15.2?
This started with openSuSE 15.2 and it has reached critical mass today - so this is sort of SOS before I take hammer at it an uninstall packageKit "with all of its dependencies".
Just uninstall it :-)
Thanks - That's easy - I "sort of" expected that uninstalling nagware will create another chain of trouble.
You do not really need to remove all dependencies. Just the main package, and possibly the desktop applets.
Uninstalling PackageKit dependencies was an attempt for elaborate joke. IT depends on zypper + .... + ....
I guess a simpler way would be disabling the service
systemctl stop packagekit systemctl disable packagekit
And then hope that the kde applet doesn't complain too much if the service isn't running.
Thanks for the suggestion Simon - I did not want to list all the previous attempts I made before uninstalling PackageKit. Disabling the service was the first idea I tried - not very successfully - there seems to be something else running it.

There is no /etc/sysconfig/packagekit either There is no packagekit process running either. - Yet it comes alive every now and again with kdesu asking for root credentials. I am kind of curious why leap 15.1 did not behave this annoying way - not that I miss it. I setup and configure computers with Ansible, so I am pretty sure that I did nothing special to deal with PackageKit for 15.1. Anyway, I have uninstalled it - hope that is the end of my trouble. Thanks for replies, Tomas PS: For curious minds. I see similar PackageKit nagging on laptops - it seems to starts after they come out of suspend.
