According to what I was told, Arch ships Qt 5.13.1 so should be

by this bug. Can this be confirmed?


Besides that, the bug report is about a crash: it has nothing to do with 
the issue being reported here, which is about preventing the updated from 
autostarting.

So far I know that Neon, and only Neon, is affected due to the Qt version they 
ship, and being a Qt bug, I'd wager it's more of a Neon problem than a KDE 
issue.

openSUSE is not affected because it ships Qt 5.13.x (and Leap has Qt 5.9).

Looks like a very serious regression to me...

Subject: Plasma 5.17 beta Discover system updates regression
To: KDE Mailing List 


Since upgrading to plasma 5.16.90 from the Arch kde-unstable repo, Discover
is
checking for system updates by default and I cannot find where to disable
this
behaviour. I've checked in Autostart and Background Services in System
Settings -> Startup and Shutdown and in system tray settings.

I had system updates disabled in 5.16.5 by clearing the checkbox for
updates
in System Tray Settings -> General -> Extra Items but that checkbox is no
longer there.

I had packagekit installed from previous trials so uninstalled it. Although
I
am no longer actively notified of system updates by Discover, 'Updates'
still
appears on the system tray Status and Notifications panel that appears when
clicking on the system tray up-arrow and the tool tip shows System up to
date,
even when it is not.

The update notification comes from DiscoverNotifier but I haven't been able
to
see where such a service is activated, including in systemd.

Discover system updates is unusable in an Arch system. It suppresses pacman
feedback and pollutes the pacman.log with countless [PACKAGEKIT]
synchronizing
package lists messages.

Is there a way to truly disable this service?

Regards,

Richard
