There is no much chance to wreck the system with current version of Apper, so it would be interesting to know how that happened and what frontend was involved.
the 'current' version of apper that a new user would install is the one in the most current released version of openSUSE..
and i just now see the second post from a person naming apper as the update source which 'wrecked' his day:
see alt.os.linux.suse "LXDE Menu lost most entries" Date: Wed, 22 Aug 2012 18:52:58 +0000 (UTC) Message-ID:
This one: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/alt.os.linux.suse/hsKm2cMyyCA User doesn't cooperate in your attempts to find a reason why it happened. I'll just watch that. I'll see what comes out of another thread. https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/alt.os.linux.suse/bODH4JSesoY As you can see I access it via nntp. Also, if you see some relevant post with gmail.com as email address, tell me, as I filter out all @gmail.com (old habit on alt.os.linux.suse ).
anyone here who wishes can step in the breach, and i will step out.
No way. More eyes see better, so no step out.
but be advised that telling the user he shot himself in the foot by not being born knowing how to deal with the end-to-end package management system including "apper" . . .
:) Don't worry.
dd ps: i will advise you (Rajko) as i see similar show up...do you want the notification here or in private mail? and, you plan to help them restore their system, as well as collect information, right?
I asked for private emails, but thread on opensuse@opensuse.org as Carlos said could be better option, or even better thread in Forums as it is easier to see number of posts. That way collection of questions and links to them will be public and anyone interested can see size of a problem. I'll leave which venue to use, to you and Carlos decision. -- Regards, Rajko -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
