Help with Apper. Can't update system.

[Mircea Sava]

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,
