[opensuse] Behavior of the New Software applet
The icon of this applet is permanently orange in color. At irregular intervals (several times a day), it puts up a notice telling me that new software is ready and inviting me to install it. After the apparently spurious installation is complete, the icon becomes green (which it ought to be most of the time) for a matter of a few seconds, then returns to its usual (abnormal) orange condition. What might be causing this behavior, and what can I do about it? -- Stan Goodman Qiryat Tiv'on Israel -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

One option is what I do. Remove it from taskbar and use 'zypper update' to update. Do something else while it collects information, it will stop with question to proceed with update or not. Next time you look in console you have to check what packages are listed and say yes or no. -- Regards, Rajko -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

THAT is good news already! It means that this is not something that happens only here. To me.

Please create a bugreport, we should fix this properly instead of you working around it ;-) Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, Director Platform / openSUSE, aj@suse.de SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126
