KClock update not behaving like other apps' update

As per the image, kclock tells me it’ll update on its own in N days. The notification appears randomly, unrelated to opening Discover in the background. That’s unusual and I’d say useless. How do I “close” it anyway?

Why do I need to know this will happen? Do it or don’t do it, but stop telling me about it. Discover doesn’t see the app.

IOW, this notification and app update behaviour is different than everything else and to my mind not useful at all.

Operating System: Pop!_OS 22.04

KDE Plasma Version: 5.24.7

KDE Frameworks Version: 5.92.0

Qt Version: 5.15.3

Kernel Version: 6.9.3-76060903-generic (64-bit)

Graphics Platform: X11

Processors: 12 × 12th Gen Intel® Core™ i7-1255U

Memory: 15.3 GiB of RAM

Graphics Processor: Mesa Intel® Graphics

When a snap gets updated without writing it’s cached data from ram to disk you will lose that data, this is why you get asked to close the app, in a properly configured system this will immediately trigger the self-update of the package and within a few seconds you get a notification that the app is ready for use again…

Thanks for the explanation. How do I close it, then? I mean, the window, the app isn’t visible in the task bar, so I presume the daemon is alive headless in the background. Do I need to reboot to get there from here?

Ah, if it is a user-daemon running in your session the packagers should take that into account and perhaps try to suppress the snap refresh.

I don’t use kclock so I don’t know how it works, you should file an issue/bug, so the packaging can be adjusted.

Ah. I thought that’s what I was doing here. I’ll try to find where and how to do that. Thanks.

Errr, where can I do that?

interestingly kclock doesnt have the same contact: info as all other KDE owned snaps (seems like another packaging oversight) … other KDE owned snaps all point to:

https://bugs.kde.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=neon&component=Snaps

so i’d take that one for a start …

@ogra Thanks for your help here!

Hehe! That’s actually where I started yesterday and they sent me here. I think this is the end of me chasing my tail. Thanks for your perseverance and know-how.
