What I’m seeing is:

Post-edit: I don’t see in that list anything that would account for this behavior.
A person might think it would be this:

polkit-kde-agent-1-5.10.5-1-omv2015.0.x86_64

I tried to use urpmi.recover to back up my system a week and instead urpmi.recover seemed to break it. So I no longer have this issue. :rofl:

:monkey:

And I don’t know it this was something I did or a real issue.
