Hello SuSE lovers, Figured I would try out Smart to upgrade my system. Been using apt for many many years. Since apt has "dropped" the kde repository I had to do it. Anyway, I installed smart and it seemed to work but I cannot get the gui to work. I get the following message. "EasyStreet:/ # smart --gui error: Interface 'gtk' not available". Welllll the latest gtk is installed. Why does smart not find it? Wow, this is an entirely new concept for me and I really don't understand what is happening. All of those new repositories, and what the heck does repomd mean anyway. Did some googling on the subject but did not find much of significance. Maybe some of the kind souls on this list can point the old guy to someplace where he can learn about this new "method" of upgrading. BTW, I did use the CLI with smart and it did seem to upgrade to the newer packages for me.

This may be because you are missing the python package that links to GTK. Do you have the following packages installed? python-numeric rpm-python python-gtk These are available at: http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/SL-10.0-OSS/inst-source/suse/i586 (or similar, eg replace 10.0 with 10.1, i586 with your architecture, etc) if you do not have them on your install media. -- Pob hwyl / Best wishes Kevin Donnelly www.kyfieithu.co.uk - KDE yn Gymraeg www.eurfa.org.uk - Geiriadur rhydd i'r Gymraeg www.rhedadur.org.uk - Rhedeg berfau Cymraeg www.cymrux.org.uk - Linux Cymraeg ar un CD -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com

Hello Kevin. Nope they are all installed. Any other ideas, anyone? Bob S. -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com
