This very much looks like the YAST GTK Online Update frontend, and not the opensuse-updater desktray applets.
Please open a bugreport against yast2-gtk
Ciao, Marcus Well this got me to looking, there are some preferences see attached. You are able to treat other updates as either mandatory or additional and this is the update tool that shows up in the notification area. If I check for what update programs are running...
ps -ef | egrep update\|yast2 nessts 5141 5000 0 07:37 ? 00:00:01 opensuse-updater-gnome-applet nessts 9347 1 0 09:01 ? 00:00:00 gnomesu -- /sbin/yast2 root 9348 9347 0 09:01 ? 00:00:00 /usr/lib/libgnomesu/gnomesu-pam-backend 16 15 root /sbin/yast2 root 9356 9348 0 09:01 ? 00:00:00 /bin/bash /sbin/yast2 Now this being said, the attached opensuseupdater.tiff picture shows I am indeed running the opensuse updater but, I assume where the yast2-gtk comes into play is when I want to see what the updates are and I click the details button that is when I see the previous screenshot. But, now as you can see they are not mandatory since I changed the preference to treat them as additional updates. But, now I will get this orange icon in the notification area indefinitely I suppose unless I choose to install opera. So, maybe that is a bug or a feature. The default choice of choosing to classify all extra updates as mandatory seems to be strange. -- Todd Ness
