Yes, and I have never liked its functionality but put up with it because I couldn't figure out how to disable it, although until now I didn't know that what I don't like about it is being brought about by the nature of the update repositories potentially. What I didn't like with it was it pops up a message about updates being available and when I look at what it is saying, it is notifying about updates for the packages I have already just put on via DNF.On Tue, 2024-11-26 at 09:02 +1100, Stephen Morris wrote:I assumed that when dnf retrieved it's metadata it was updating the standard system locations which a normal user can't update, I didn't know it was caching the data elsewhere.If you haven't given the magic password, no command is going to have the authority to change non-personal-user data.It's for these kinds of situations that there is a background task that pops alerts up through the taskbar to let people know there's updates waiting (if you want to use it). It does have some elevated privileges.
