Bug ID: 435807
Summary: [Feature request] Add a setting to prevent discover
from checking for updates automatically.
Product: Discover
Version: 5.21.4
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: PackageKit
Assignee: lei...@leinir.dk
Reporter: filippo27...@gmail.com
CC: aleix...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
Currently, there is no option (that I know of) to prevent Discover from
checking for updates in the background. While this behavior might be the most
convenient default for most users, one might want to stop automatic updates for
any reason. In particular, on Arch Linux this behavior using the PackageKit
backend leads to a "partial update" which is unsupported by pacman and can
potentially cause breakage if the user is not careful, which makes it really
hard for Arch users to recommend using Discover.
According to the Arch Wiki, GNOME Software has a similar setting through dconf,
"gsettings set org.gnome.software download-updates false", but I have not
tested this as I don't use GNOME. My request is to add this feature to Discover
and expose it through GUI.
Thank you for your attention.
