How to see the details which updates are installed, confirm and possiby uncheck unwished updates, as well as seeing the elapsed time bar?

How to check for and upgrade to other, newer software versions for All Packages?
So far in 10.3 as a workaround I've had to install and login to a KDE session instead, to do what previous worked in Gnome as well: YaST2>Software>Online Update Package menu>All packages>Update if newer versions are available

1.I agree that the updater needs to show the status of downloading packages, and a list of what it's downloading. Perhaps that what they can use the "Details" button for, rather than launching the whole YaST module.
YOU never has performed "third party" updates, only security and critical updates. I think I have seen where YOU do "third party" updates in a future release.
Default security and critical updates, yes. Not quite sure what "3rd party update" mean in the Updater's terminology. But by selecting 10.3 "Software repositories for openSUSE" like Packman, VideoLan, openSUSE Buildservice-Mozilla or -OpenOffice, one can use KDE YOU's menu "Package>All Packages>Update if newer versions are available" to upgrade these packages. Correspondingly backport repositories could be added and used i 10.2 YOU I think. I.e yesterday I upgraded Seamonkey from 1.1.4 to 1.1.5 with KDE YOU. This could also be done with the identical YOU in 10.2 Gnome, or by using the Package menu from "Add/Remove Software" as well. --Terje -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
