I've just done my first install of 13.1 and noted this new System Updater applet in the system tray. As with previous iterations of such things, I find its functionality limited and I want to get rid of it.
Previously with the Apper service I could stop that in KDE's System Services control. I've stopped and unticked that service again but this applet still pops up on reboot and seems independent. Its only configuration on a right-click is for setting a keyboard shortcut.
I could hide it from the system tray but presumably that won't stop it running in the background. I do my updates in YaST and until the day I can get all the same functionality and level of detail in an applet then things shall remain that way. Though this applet finds and notifies of updates, clicking the + symbol next to any item always fails to retrieve further details, so it is redundant for me.
Where can I turn it off?
Hello Peter,
Go to Configure Desktop / Apper Software Management.
Toolbar right side there's a Settings button, click that.
There select the Check for update policies.
Okay thanks. That seems a nonsensical implementation though. It means the Apper service is running even though I've disabled it from doing so in the System Services control. Peter -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
