Comment 1 Fedora Blocker Bugs Application 2014-12-24 12:31:46 UTC 
Proposed as a Freeze Exception for 22-alpha by Fedora user satellit using the blocker tracking app because:

 updates do not work from notification (Apper)
Comment 2 Kevin Kofler 2014-12-24 23:26:01 UTC 
Uh, groups not being supported is known (bug #1098735), but that should not affect updates!
Comment 3 satellitgo 2014-12-25 01:03:37 UTC 
The default popup KDE update notification is to Apper. The default update for KDE should work.
Comment 4 satellitgo 2014-12-25 01:07:43 UTC 
Apper does work  if entered separately for individual an individual file search but crashes when the popup for update is called.
Comment 5 Kevin Kofler 2014-12-25 01:36:56 UTC 
Again, an update shouldn't be requiring SearchGroups to begin with (and doesn't on F21), there must be something additionally broken in Rawhide.
Comment 6 abuecher 2015-01-03 04:35:19 UTC 
I get this same error string in Fedora 21 when I attempt to click on any group in the intial Apper dialog. Apper pops up a dialog with error message "SearchGroups not supported by backend"

My KDE Fedora 21 is a virtualbox guest running on a Windows7 host.
Comment 7 Rex Dieter 2015-01-03 04:42:37 UTC 
that is tracked in bug #1098735
Comment 8 hjn 2015-02-09 20:56:37 UTC 
Apper does not work at all in a fedora 21 scientific (KDE) installation on a lenovo edge 335

[all updates had to be done in the terminal using "sudo yum update"]

-------------------
additionally apper does not install *.rpm files
Comment 9 Petr Schindler 2015-03-02 21:09:42 UTC 
Discussed at today's blocker review meeting [1].

We agreed on delaying the decision - This bug is currently in flux with old data and we want to wait for some KDE fixes to land before making a determination.

Comment 10 Jaroslav Reznik 2015-03-03 16:39:18 UTC 
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 22 development cycle.
Changing version to '22'.

Comment 12 Evgeny 2015-07-30 09:38:47 UTC 
Bug is present in the final release of the latest updates on July 30, 2015.
Analogous problem is observed in the previous versions, KDE.
Comment 13 Robert McCullough 2015-09-09 00:15:48 UTC 
I am getting the same issue on my Dell Precision M6600 laptop after installing the latest Fedora-22-KDE-live-x86_64.
Comment 14 Josef Ludvicek 2015-10-03 19:26:23 UTC 
Is there any chance of fixing this in Fedora 22 ?
Comment 15 Rex Dieter 2015-11-23 11:59:59 UTC

Comment 16 Evgeny 2016-03-29 19:12:05 UTC 
Fedor 23 last update on March 29, 2016
apper 0.9.2
Sometimes the message comes: "SearchGroups not supported by backend"
Sometimes not.
But it never works "Search Groups"

PS: previously used tool from the gnome.
Comment 17 Kerill 2016-04-28 08:13:57 UTC 
Fedora 23 KDE last update on 28.04.2016
Apper 0.9.2


Always when I open any category in apper:

error
"SearchGroups not supported by backend"
