There are updates for 10.1, and quite a few. ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/ftp.suse.com/suse/i386/update/10.1/rpm

Though it is necessary to download and install files in: (next 2 lines is actually 1) ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/ftp.suse.com/people/aj/ 10.1-packagemanagement-update-test/10.1-i386/

I installed using quick and dirty method. Changed to directory where files were downloaded and run: rpm -Uvh --force --nodeps ./*

I think you want

rpm -Fvh *rpm

This is what I used. I think it only update what you need. I try to avoid the --force.

Good Luck,

Hi Boyd, I agree your method is better. YaST spoiled me, and present problems found me off guard. I used the same as it was published in one of mails on suse-linux-e mailing list, and it worked. When YaST was up it was easy to remove development from the list and get dependencies OK. -- Regards, Rajko.

Well, let me put it this way: I don't know who is/was in charge with 10.1 release but if he/she was a politician I would request his/her resignation. 10.1 is the biggest blow for the name of SUSE. It's an actual crime... I stop here... Metricus. On Tuesday 30 May 2006 12:26, Fred A. Miller wrote:

Iupgraded all the files at the site you listed, but Yast STILL won't update....lists the files, but that's it. IF running Zen and it's demon, (performance hit for that :( ), then the Software Updater will work. It is, however, very slow in getting a list of files.

If 9.3 is the only SUSE release that works that all those "people at SUSE" should go home!

These sorts of comments, and indeed this thread, are getting quite tiresome. There is a problem with the updater, probably due to the decision to change to libzypp being made too late in the beta program, SUSE knows about it and are working on fixing it, end of story. There's no need to be abusive to people at SUSE. If you prefer 9.3, go back to it. If you have lost faith in SUSE because of a problem with one package out of several hundred, then move to another distro. Whinging about the same thing in multiple posts must raise the suspicion that the posters are only here as trolls to slag off a very fine distro. -- 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

Certainly hope not! After have some clients buy 10.1 and some VERY bad issues during upgrades, I'm holding off updating any more systems till a much more stable release is available.

We do have some bugs in the update stack in the running system. But updating from on older release to 10.1 should work. Did you file bugreports for these so that we can fix it for the future?

And having 86 copies on "order warning" for various businesses and people I support, my wholesaler was less than impressed when I rang and told her to cancel the rest of the order (four received) because of the "level or problems unresolved" or "requiring excessive installation fix time" with the released package. No doubt Novell Australia would have heard about it too as others I talk with over here have similarly cancelled. I have informed my clients that 9.3 is, and will remain my current stable supported release at this time! There has been some unrest over here for a couple of years already with "preliminary discussions" between the various "linux user groups" for a totally Australian build and release and the organization necessary to support it. If 10.2 is released in a similar "problem level" as 10.1 Novell SuSE will die over here very quickly. Users over here do not differentiate between openSuSE and Novell SuSE and will not consider them separate, they just consider the first the pre-release system of the latter. This is not a flame, but a statement of total frustration of the increasing level of rework again needed, and as one who has a very small margin and growing smaller as my clients margins are also shrinking. Maybe what we need is a new lock on 10.1 and all problems fixed and a new release as 10.1A before any work is allowed to proceed with 10.2. scsijon --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-help@opensuse.org

Considering that one is a distribution and the other a group of peopl, I find it normal to see them in a different way. -- houghi http://houghi.org http://www.plainfaqs.org/linux/ http://www.netmeister.org/news/learn2quote.html

I wish it was so, but unfortunately, that's not how it works over here with other lines and so they see this on the same linepath. scsijon --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-help@opensuse.org

Hi Fred,

It is as you say, but list is downloaded in background and when you see exclamation mark it is ready, so I really don't care that it takes time. Updater is now in usable state, able to get patches.

I just checked, and the Updater icon notified me that there are updates......waiting for it......ok...there's 1 file. I did get some others last night. Yast update still won't work. Fred -- Paid purchaser of ALL SuSE Linux releases since 6.x

Oh boy........there's 1 patch available......but there's a permissions problem. :( NOT good boys and girls!

The update is a bugfix for dhcp client_hostname_option, and the error is: 23|A84EDAE89C800ACA|SuSE Package Signing Key | 79C179B2E1C820C1890F9994A84EDAE89C800ACA
