[kepler-users] First time kepler launching in nongui mode issue

[Jianwu Wang]

Hi Piotr,

     You can disable the update checking step by setting a configuration 
item in Kepler. It is the "check-for-patches" item at 
$Kepler/module-manager-2.3.0/resources/configurations/configuration.xml. 
Its default value is true. If you set it to be false and re-run the 
command, Kepler will run in nongui mode without asking upgrade. My test 
works.

     In the next release, Kepler will automatically ignore upgrade if it 
is run in nongui mode.

Best wishes

Sincerely yours
