So after the update to Plasma 6, I seem to no longer have the update notifier icon that was present in the system tray. I’ve looked in a few different spots, but it seems to be either it is no longer installed, or just no longer present in system tray. It is also not present in the System Tray settings (would not let me upload more than a single image on this post). Any help on adding this back to system tray is appreciated.
By trying to add the applet and hovering over it, you will get the information that this applet is only for Plasma 5 and incompatible with Plasma 6.
KDE widgets and applets developed by the KDE team are ported to Plasma 6.
3rd party widgets and applets are broken because their devs ignored the actual development…
I am unable to even see it, add it, or hover over it. It is just gone it seems. Do we know what package has to be installed for it to be present in the list (System Tray Settings)? Just making sure it is not just my Plasma 6 install.
Read the comment above. It is not available for Plasma 6!
As stated above as well (my edit), just making sure it wasn’t just my install. Thanks for the reply.
I also used this applet to let me notify when there where updates available. After the notification i did the normal zypper dup. As there are normally every day updates available, no change in the normal workflow is to expect without the notifier applet. Simply issue a zypper dup after you started your machine or whenever you like…
Which notifier do you mean? I have discover6-notifier and it is running. It is not visible in system tray as long as there are no updates (but I believe the other notifier also).
Not the Discover notifier. It was the plasma5-pk-updates applet…This applet didn’t require Disvover…
I have two machines, both updated to plasma 6, one of which shows the update systray icon and the other not. The plasma5-pk-updates applet was obsoleted by discover6-notifier (it tells you if you try to re-install it).
I can’t, as yet, see any difference in the configuration between the machines, which is frustrating!
I’ve found a difference! The machine that is not working says the following when I run plasma-discover-update by hand:
/home/nick> plasma-discover-update
libs QList("/usr/lib64/qt6/plugins", "/usr/bin")
org.kde.plasma.libdiscover: OdrsReviewsBackend: Fetch ratings: true
adding empty sources model QStandardItemModel(0x55b9b0385260)
QCommandLineParser: option not defined: "feedback"
PackageKitBackend: No distro component found for "org.opensuse.opensuse-tumbleweed"
packagekitqt.offline: Cannot process "org.freedesktop.PackageKit" as "org.freedesktop.PackageKit.Offline"
could not kill them all 1
The machine that works does not have the “No distro component” or “offline” lines.
What does yours say?
Under the Discover icon you find Update.
