            Bug ID: 401810
           Summary: Discover should allow specification of the software
                    update frequency (or respect software-properties
                    setting)
           Product: Discover
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: unspecified
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: discover
          Assignee: aleix...@kde.org
          Reporter: kdeb...@caseyconnor.org
  Target Milestone: ---

After much confusion, and unable to find any documentation on the subject, I
believe to have learned that it is not possible to change the frequency with
which discover checks for new software?

Muon -> Settings -> Configure Software Sources -> Updates -> Check for updates
-> Weekly

...is apparently ignored? Even set to "Weekly" I get update notifications
several times per week.

If that setting is not the appropriate place to change, perhaps it should be
renamed or have clarifying language added.

If there is an existing place to change the frequency with which Discover
checks for updates, I apologize for the bug. If not, please consider adding a
configuration option, or at least some documentation somewhere on how to change
the frequency via config file, etc. Research on the web indicates that the way
most people are solving this is by uninstalling Discover and PackageKit and the
like. Thanks!

(I'm on Kubuntu 18.10 with Discover 5.13.5)
