Hi Is packagekit needed on tumbleweed? Since the upgrade to plasma 6, it runs as soon as I log in, where can i turn it off because I can't do a zypper dup until its finished. I can't find any reference to it in yast (cron) or systemsettings? Not had any emails for a few days now, is the system down? regards Ian openSUSE Tumbleweed 20240404 kwin 6.0.3 kmail2 6.0.1 (24.02.1) - akonadiserver 6.0.1 (24.02.1) - Kernel: 6.8.2-1- default - kernel-firmware-radeon 20240322

Is it needed? It depends on you, if you like frontends it provides. Is it required? No. My setup for PackageKit is "zypper rm --clean-deps PackageKit && zypper al "PackageKit*" (libpackagekit* has to stay though).

You should be able to configure the applet to never check. Although I think there was a patch recently that used it. "Discover" needs packagekit. It is a new method of finding applications for your needs. You click on a link on the package search page, and firefox opens it with Discover to do the actual installation. https://software.opensuse.org/package/kwrite Do you see the [Appstream install] button? Click on it and it opens Discover and tells you about the kwrite app. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.5 x86_64 at Telcontar)

the Plamsa 6 upgrade
Is it required? No. My setup for PackageKit is "zypper rm --clean-deps PackageKit && zypper al "PackageKit*" (libpackagekit* has to stay though). No, not required, i'll give that a try. Thanks

Can you please explain more specifics about your "setup"? I think it removes the "Packagekit" package and also locks everything else with the Packagekit prefix? openSUSE Tumbleweed on machine here. I have done the following previously since the Plasma 6 MegaRelease. Opened YaST2 Software Manager then deleted - Packagekit, which then claimed PackageKit-backend-zypp and PackageKit-branding-openSUSE were dependencies. They were deleted also. libpackagekit-glib2.18, libpackagekitqt5-1 and libpackagekitqt6-1 all remain unlocked. What do you think of this?
Thanks

Exactly that. It locks "Packagekit" itself as well, preventing it from being installed back.

That's exactly what I have.
All i have ever done is use "zypper dup" to upgrade my system, this has only become an issue since the upgrade to Plasma 6. I've checked Yast and Packagekit is installed and upgradeable. I can only assume something else in the Plasma upgrade had a dependency to it. I don't mind it being on the system even though its wasting a bit of space but i'd like to be able to stop it from loading when i log on.

looks like i'll just have to uninstall it Thanks -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.5 x86_64 at Telcontar)
