Description Timothée Ravier 2025-09-18 16:38:38 UTC

SUMMARY

On Fedora Kinoite 43, we enabled auto updates and they now work, but they get applied approximately every day while we configured them to be applied weekly.

```
# Default
$ cat /etc/xdg/PlasmaDiscoverUpdates
[Global]
UseUnattendedUpdates=true
RequiredNotificationInterval=604800

# Overridden via the KCM
$ cat ~/.config/PlasmaDiscoverUpdates
[Global]
LastNotificationTime=2025,9,9,18,43,15.643,UTC
LastUnattendedTrigger=2025,9,18,9,29,24.913,UTC
RequiredNotificationInterval=604800
```

604800 is 60*60*24*7, i.e. a week.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Enable auto-update on a weekly basis
2. Wait a day

OBSERVED RESULT

Updates are applied approximately daily

EXPECTED RESULT

Updates are applied weekly

Comment 1 Timothée Ravier 2025-09-18 17:32:55 UTC

This is weird. When I'm testing by updating manually the times in `~/.config/PlasmaDiscoverUpdates` to point the the past then updates are not triggered.

```
$ cat ~/.config/PlasmaDiscoverUpdates
[Global]
LastNotificationTime=2025,9,16,17,24,41.867,UTC
LastUnattendedTrigger=2025,9,16,9,29,24.913,UTC
RequiredNotificationInterval=604800
