Thu Feb 13, 2014 4:59 pm I have some ideas of how to disable the automatic refresh plugin, PackageKit/Apper . . . but what is the recommendation of the members of the KDE forums board. It locks up the yum on new install with 422 updates, and I can use yumex for updates when I'd want later. Thanks in advance.

Does it sit in the System Tray as an icon, or does it suddenly popup notifications? I would suggest looking for processes in the System Monitor to begin with - as that would be a good starting point for disabling automatic startup. KDE Sysadmin [img]content/bcooksley_sig.png[/img]

Thu Feb 20, 2014 3:15 pm The icon sits in the system tray with notifications that there are some 424 package upgrades, and the yum locks waiting on Package Kit for long times. I've learned that there may be some systemctl -disable and -stop <command name> that could be used as I try to define the command name using ps

Thu Feb 20, 2014 5:00 pm http://www.databook.bz/?page_id=2864 ... prefer to perform manual updates with YUM or automated ones using cron to launch YUM rather than use the desktop PackageKit. These can interfere with or be interfered with by the PackageKit software manager. The typical symptoms of this are a warning message when doing a manual update that YUM is waiting for the lock file.The lock file is created by PackageKit so that only one process can access the YUM and RPM databases at a time. To resolve this problem you need to disable automatic update checks for PackageKit. Edit the file, /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/refresh-packagekit.conf and change “enabled=1″ to “enabled=0″ and you should be good to go. or just remove Packagekit OpenSuse Leap 42.1 x64, Plasma 5.x

Wed Jun 18, 2014 8:04 pm Tried all the above and several other suggestion but the following is the only thing that worked for me on Fedora 20 64 bit. [root@localhost ~]# systemctl disable packagekit-offline-update
