Hello.

The behavior of not recognizing the internet connection established with anything else but NetworkManager-gnome is present in KDE for KDE apps since the inception of KDE4, maybe even sooner.

However many KDE apps although don't recognize the connection they work just fine.

As for Apper, when it comes to updating the system I prefer the command line interface of yum; it's much faster, reliable and has a very cool verbosed output.

So, su -c 'yum update' is in my opinion the best way to go.

Kind regards,
