Description Pascal d'Hermilly 2016-09-08 13:29:30 UTC

It would be nice if there was a way to enable automatic updates.
If I right click on the updates icon in the systray and click "Update settings" I get a "keyboard shortcuts" dialog.
If there is a place to enable automatic updates it is not easily found.
How about also making it available through a toggle button in the plasma widget popup that appears when you click the updates icon.

Reproducible: Always

Also in my whishlist. As KDE neon by default doesn't even check for new updates one has to initiate that also manually, see also: https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=309&t=136620

Comment 2 rockonthemoonfm 2016-12-31 06:09:58 UTC

agreed with both comments

Comment 3 NW 2017-06-13 23:43:22 UTC

Can someone please comment? There would be various ways to do this on Ubuntu, see:

https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/automatic-updates.html
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticSecurityUpdates

Any chance you could add such a feature to KDE Discover?

Comment 4 NW 2017-07-11 18:18:16 UTC

Any update on this request (no pun intended)?

Comment 5 Christoph Feck 2017-07-17 03:06:25 UTC

Is this a feature request for Discover, or for the neon distribution packaging?

Comment 6 Pascal d'Hermilly 2017-07-24 00:50:40 UTC

I my view this is Neon packaging/plumbing.
There is an LTS - it should be easy to tell it to just keep the system up to date. In Kubuntu it was ticking a checkbox and it took care of things.

Any progress?

Thank you for your bug report! 
However this bug report was created/provided previous to 01/01/2023 and also has not received any updates since  before 01/01/2025. 
Unfortunately KDE neon no longer provides updates for anything older than noble 24.04 based edition's.
Please upgrade to KDE neon noble and if you can reproduce the issue after upgrading to an active version, feel free to re-open this bug report.
Thanks for understanding!
