Cannot zypper dup because package kit

With KDE 6.1.3 I got issues with package Kit. It always prevents zypper dup.

Operating System: openSUSE Tumbleweed 20240725
KDE Plasma Version: 6.1.3
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.4.0
Qt Version: 6.7.2
Kernel Version: 6.9.9-1-default (64-bit)
Graphics Platform: Wayland
Processors: 16 × AMD Ryzen 7 4800H with Radeon Graphics
Memory: 15.0 GiB of RAM
Graphics Processor: AMD Radeon Graphics

But the issue is, I don’t even have Package-Kit in the process list

If I want to run zypper dup I need to use XFCE.
If I use gnome, and let the system unattended it just freezes zypper dup after a couple of downloads.

(Even so I do have 2gbps fiber, the downloads here in China are super slow or time our even or because of VPN)

If you routinely use “zypper dup”, remove and lock PackageKit, you won’t miss it :wink:
