I am using Kde 4.5 in Debian and I get some notifications after start that I need to update something. How can I disable it (I often don't want to waste bandwidth for such things)?
I am using Debian Wheezy and Kde 4.5

Open the KDE System Settings application. (I find the easiest way is to press Alt+F2, type in systemsettings, and press Enter. But you can also launch it from the K menu if you like.)
Choose Software Management under System Administration:
Then select Settings from the left panel, and under Check for updates, choose Never:
Finally, click Apply. KPackageKit will no longer bother you about updates. But, remember to use apt-get or your favorite package manager to download updates periodically so you aren't exposed to security vulnerabilities.

Package 'update-notifier-kde' is not installed, so not removed- any updates on how to do this in Plasma 5? – Xerus – 2018-09-07T13:02:39.7102Hi, I am now trying to find these settings on my laptop, but I don't have software management in the settings at all (running Debian testing). Any idea how to install it? – Grzenio – 2011-06-09T09:41:28.233
@Grzenio: I believe it's part of the
kpackagekitpackage but I can't check right now. I'm not sure how you have the component that notifies you about updates but not the configuration for it, though. Try runningkcmshell4 kpk_settingsto launch it manually. – Patches – 2011-06-09T10:32:26.347I can't run it:
Could not find module 'kpk_settings'., and I can't find thekpackagekitpackage :(. Looks like Debian maintainers did something weird. – Grzenio – 2011-06-09T10:40:37.3801@Grzenio: Yeah, it looks like they're moving away from PackageKit in wheezy. Instead, you can remove the
update-notifier-kdepackage altogether or just disable it by removing its.desktopfile from/usr/share/kde4/services/kded/. – Patches – 2011-06-09T21:00:48.667
