Description Steffen 2018-06-02 16:04:07 UTC 
OpenSuse Leap 15.0
plasma5-pk-updates 0.3.1

After login KDE i will get a error messages: "Download (curl) error for 'http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Extra/openSUSE_Leap_15.0/repodata/repomd.xml': Error code: Connection failed Error message: Could not resolve host: download.opensuse.org" because the Networkmanager is not finish to connect to the wlan network.

After some try and error I have modify the main.qml File from the plasmoid, to give the Networkmanager more time to finish the connection, and now the error is gone.

I'm afraid this widget is unmaintained and has not been ported to Qt 6, meaning it's no longer released; closing all of its bug reports.
