Description S. Burmeister 2011-04-24 22:26:01 UTC

Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.6.2) 
OS:                Linux

I have set .kde4/share/config/KPackageKit (there is no apperrc) to:

[CheckUpdate] 
autoUpdate=0  
interval=xyz

If I use xyz=100, 150 or 900 it checks ~every six minutes.

The GUI shows the correct time, i.e. 100 = 100 seconds etc.

If I change xyz to 3600 it checks every 30 minutes.

The first check seems to always happen after 6 minutes, which is too late IMHO.

Enabling debugging does not help. So I think it would be helpful in the first place to get some debug-output (I compiled with debugfull) that indicates when apper checks for updates, when it did last time and when it will do it again.

Further it would be helpful to show in debug output what result it got, i.e. whether there were updates available or not etc.

Reproducible: Always

Hi,

I'm using git version as of 20120217. This issue is still present. Choosing an interval (via the kcm_module Software Management) of hourly, daily etc. all make apper wakeup at intervals of ~5 to 10 minutes. Disable / enable the apper monitor in the Service Manager (in Systemsetting) temporary 'solves' the issue. For your reference, in Redhat's bugzilla is a report [1] that can give you maybe more information.

Martin did some more analysis, and offered a patch which does look promising,
