Running Tumbleweed.
Last couple of days getting the above error. Also see pic.
Have run Zypper dup, and also checked Discover - no issues with either…?
Any ideas?
Thanks.
You could start with explaining what this screenshot means. You show some error of some program without as much as telling what this program is or what you were doing when this error appeared.
NOT on a Program, on TUMBLEWEED!
This comes up as soon as I log on.
You tell me what the screenshot means - that was what I was asking.
I’m guessing that it is from the desktop software updater. You have not mentioned which desktop environment you are using.
I am not seeing this. But then I have disabled the software update applet in KDE.
Thanks.
Using plasma, fairly basic, nothing tricky installed…
Isn’t Discovery the updater for KDE? As I said, have run that and (several times, over several reboots; that and Zypper) all updates installed.
You can update with Discovery. But the applet that runs automatically is “plasma5-pk-updates”, and I’m guessing that is what causes this message.
I disable that with “Configure System Tray” → “Entries”

Posting in case my experience helps anyone.
Tumbleweed, KDE, very stock install, System Updates app in the system tray ran fine from OS install, running fine for at least 2 months. I changed whatever the default “global theme” in System Settings was to Breeze Dark. I have no idea if related. Very soon after that, (not sure if immediately), the system tray update app started giving the error in OPs image. A week or two and multiple reboots later and no change. During this time, I tried using zypper and was told no updates were found for this whole time period. When the system tray app used to work, I would get a fair amount of updates daily. I suspected my zypper was broke too, and there was no way 2 weeks would have passed without an upgrade.
I used zypper (and kill -9) to uninstall plasma5-pk-updates, rebooted, and immediately was able to get a ton of updates via zypper, so I’ve abandoned the idea of fixing the KDE system tray update app.
