Kubuntu 15.04 shows a notification (and a taskbar icon) on each boot, after the log in, offering me to install extra packages, specifically flash, and I really don't want to install it. I've pressed "cancel" many times, but in the next boot the notification will pop-up again.

What can I do to make the notification stop?

  • you can remove update-manager package. your apt-get and synaptic will still work without any problems. Have you tried it ?

  • Why would you want to remove the entire update manger, thats a horrible idea!

I found an answer to this on the Kubuntu forum.

In KDE you can turn off "Restricted codec availability" under

'System Settings' -> Notifications -> 'Other Notifications'.

It works for me (Kubuntu 15.04 with kubuntu-ppa backports).

  • @redanimalwar: my suggestion was to turn off "Restricted codec availability" notifications. This is not all other notifications. I do agree that not recommending flash in the first place would be better, though.

  • Nevermind I just read that totally wrong, I thought there is a checkbox for turning all other notifications off. Cant take my downvote away for whatever stupid reason stackoverflow has for this, sorry.
