Hello,
I'm new to the list and have just installed Leap 42.3 64bit with GNOME 3.20.2 on a Lenovo laptop.
The laptop is intended for use in remote areas with low internet bandwidth. In order to reduce internet traffic as much as possible, I would like to prevent the system from checking for updates altogether when it's online in low-bandwidth areas.
uninstall package kit.
Is that really necessary, just as a result of using gnome?
What package should I install to be able to configure the GNOME Software Updater as described here in 10.4.3:
Gnome checks for updates and downloads them in advance, even if you decide to not install them, when it asks you later. At least it did the last time I checked. If you want to impede network activity by the updater, the only sure move is uninstall it. You still have YaST, to be used manually.

And here in 9.4.3 Configuring the GNOME Software Updater:
https://doc.opensuse.org/documentation/leap/startup/single-html/book.opensus...
Currently, configuration is not possible since the option Applications > System Tools > Settings > *Software Settings* is not present on my system.
Sorry, I can't check, I'm using XFCE this instant, and I remove package kit on all my systems as a matter of routine. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.3 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)
