[opensuse-factory] problem with YAST software management
I've tried Alpha6 (i386) on 2 different machines now. Neither machine can add more software packages after the initial installation. They keep erroring with 'No installation source'. It looks like my symptoms are similar to bug reports 293586 and 293705. I'm a newbie. Is there anything that I can do to help? <notes> During installation, the media check step verifies that the DVD-RW is okay. Skipped network setup but took defaults on everything else for a KDE installation. disabled ipv6, enabled ssh & vnc skip internet check - error - No package source defined [OK] configure normal user to receive system email dvd shows up in system:/media/sr0 as SU103Alp.001 Yast software management Warning - No installation source is defined.

You are right, this is the same bug. Unfortunatelly, there is no easy way out. Right now, the only way to install software is using 'zypper' from command line. We are working on a fix. Stano

enabled=1 autorefresh=1 to the files in /etc/zypp/repos.d/. Afterwards I were able to install packages with both zypper and with YaST2 sw_single.

Good fix, for some reason this data was not being written to the files when you setup Installation Source in YaST. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce ...

Thanks for all the helpful suggestions on fixing YAST software management. Using command-line zypper instead of YAST seems to work quite well. The suggestion about modifying the repo files allowed the gui YAST tool to work again. (adding these lines to the files in /etc/zypp/repos.d/) enabled=1 autorefresh=1 I'm back to playing with Alpha6... Thanks again, ....Gregg (this group is much nicer than the stereotypical linux community) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

The problem is known but not related to the bug you mentioned. The following should help - insert the dvd - run "zypper sa cd:// install" as root - run "zypper refresh" or run YaST "installation sources" and add the DVD there.

Oh, you already tried to add a dvd. Please open a bug report for this.
mounted dvd as root and added /mnt to installation sources still get warning - No installation source is defined
deleted all installation sources, added DVD still get warning - No installation source is defined
'zypper refresh' is the magic word ;-) Thanks for testing Alpha6 ! Klaus --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

You could try to install the new libzypp package from the next factory update - but that's all here. Thanks for testing!
