I have curious functionning of zen updater. I made the update when the patche was available recently, once with YOU them with zen. From this time on (a week or so), the zen updater icon kept blue. receiving the first mail of this thread I began experiment. YOU had a lot of updates I could make. Zen updater, when looking at the config, had only one repository configured, obviously not an update one (so didn't follow YOU). I closed it, then restarted it. I must state that my computer is shut down every nigth, so this was not the first zen-updater restart. I got a blue icon, but _no_ repository configured (so the one I had gone away I don't know how) but this time, the configure menu lauched a "novell registering" menu entry. I validated this one and got server error message like this one: ERREUR : Impossible d'ajouter 'http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/suse/update/10.1' Failed to parse XML metadata: Unknown failure (tested several times, same for any server) after that the server was added to the configure menu, but set inactive, with no catalog (but this is fresh, may be a catalog download in the background -seems so, I can't swith out zen-updater jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://dodin.org/galerie_photo_web/expo/index.html http://lucien.dodin.net http://fr.susewiki.org/index.php?title=Gérer_ses_photos --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory-unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory-help@opensuse.org

also nothing can be installed through yast2 software management as it says, 'Package not found on medium, please check server is accessable' On 6/16/06, Kronoz wrote:

Vahis, yes, serval times. I made a small log of it, rug won't sub to it or install anything from the repos, see here http://kronoz.linuxlabs.co.uk/ruglog.txt jdd, that is very similar to what happens in my case, i get the same 'Failed to parse XML metadata: Unknown Failure message' when I try to do `rug ref`

I also have issues with the zen-updater such as only making the suse oss repository active and leaving all the others as inactive and not on the catalogue tab, same in `rug sl`

Have you subscribed to them? #rug sub nameoftheservice
