SUMMARY Every time a user logs in to plasma, the notification "Restart is required" is shown. However, restarting does not have any effect, nothing different than a normal restart happens and the notification is shown again. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Login to plasma 2. restart system as instructed by the notification 3. Login to plasma OBSERVED RESULT The notification that a restart is required is shown every time regardless the number of times I restart the system. EXPECTED RESULT The notification that a restart is required should only show up when a restart is really needed (or at least say why it is needed). SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: macOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: Debian bullseye, kernel 5.10.0-3-amd64 (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.20.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.78.0 Qt Version: 5.15.2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
This comes from Discover; moving there.
That's weird, can you tell us what's the contents of the following file? /var/lib/PackageKit/offline-update-competed Also can you please show us a screenshot of the notification you see?

Discover never set this, this must be coming from another tool as we only ever set it to "reboot". Would you know what that could be? Maybe you can check the date it was created (with ls -l) and we can infer where it's coming from. Ultimately, if it's very old maybe you can consider just removing the file, it might have been a past bug in PackageKit.
Created attachment 136275 [details] attachment-14004-0.html The file looks to be old. Not sure if we can guess which package created it from the info below. Anyway, I removed it manually and the notification has now gone. $ ll /var/lib/PackageKit/offline-update-action -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 9 Nov 6 16:36 /var/lib/PackageKit/offline-update-action
