1 - what is the name of the program/application/daemon that is running the software updates reminder that keeps popping up in my system tray? Apper is not installed on my new system, and I was not able to figure it out
I'm not certain, but I think it is "plasma5-pk-updates".
2 - What does everyone thinkabout the new software updates management tool? Should I get rid of it and go back to my old practice? (thatis what I intend to do unless there are good reasons not to) Do people like it? Are the updates better now that Leap is a more stable system?
You can disable the updates in system tray settings. That's what I have done.
I left it enabled on one system, for a while. And it seemed to work reasonably well (better than Apper). But it was too noisy for my liking, and I prefer doing update in other ways (Yast online update and zypper).
Ok, thanks. I also figured out that you can go to /etc/PackageKit and edit the file ZYpp.conf: ------------------------------------ [Updates] ## If set to true, only show updates that are available as maintenance patches # HidePackages=false HidePackages=true ------------------------------------ By setting HidePackages to true, it is supposed to be less noisy. I am going to try it this way at first and see how it goes. -- George Box #1: 42.1 | KDE Plasma 5 | AMD Phenom IIX4 | 64 | 32GB Box #2: 13.1 | KDE 4.12 | AMD Athlon X3 | 64 | 4GB Laptop #1: 13.1 | KDE 4.12 | Core i7-2620M | 64 | 8GB Laptop #2: 42.1 | KDE Plasma 5 | Core i7-4710HQ | 64 | 16GB -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
