After updating from F29 to F30, I now find that dnfdragora is running in my KDE/Plasma session. I prefer to update my system from the command line, so would like to inhibit this, but I don't see where it's being started.
It's not among the Autostart apps, and 'systemctl|grep dnfdragora' shows nothing.
A hint would be welcome.

Uninstalling "dnfdragora-updater" should fix this issue.

Further investigation shows that in fact this thing has always been running, just not visibly. I only noticed it when it decided to show itself on the panel, so I may just leave it for now as I don't want to lose the background database updating (which I had thought was a function of dnf proper, but apparently isn't).

Isn't that what dnf-makecache.timer does? systemctl list-timers and see if it's enabled. Runs ten minutes after boot and every hour after that, and just does "dnf makecache --timer". Or is that not the database updating you were expecting dnf to do? All you need to do is enable and start the timer:
systemctl enable dnf-makecache.timer systemctl start dnf-makecache.timer

Yes, that is enabled. I was confused because on trying to remove dnfdragora-updater I get:

I mistakenly thought that dnfdaemon was what handled the background updating, but apparently not.

Try: dnf mark install dnfdragora before removing dnfdragora-updater, so that the main dnfdragora application is kept.
Or if you already uninstalled all this stuff, then just: dnf install dnfdragora to get it back.
The updater is the part that annoys you, whereas the application in the main dnfdragora package only comes up if you explicitly run it from the menu.

Are you sure it's not dnfdragora-updater?
You can remove the package if it's annoying. Otherwise the autostart should be in: /etc/xdg/autostart/org.mageia.dnfdragora-updater.desktop
Thanks. I assumed that dnfdragora was a Plasma app and hence would appear in my session Autostart, but apparently not.
