How do I do it? I don't want it to check for updates. That's all. when I try to uninstall it i get loadsa dependency problems. How do I stop it checking for updates everytime 250 users log in? System wide? it's a real pain. Cheers, Steve. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Try deinstalling opensuse-updater-kde and opensuse-updater-gnome. Ciao, Marcus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

If I can make a better suggestion? Instead of uninstalling those updates, you have two choices. Turn off checking in the preferences of the applets. (But then again, users could re-enable it at this point.) Remove all repositories from the boxes, and create a single internal repository in your company. Any critical updates that need to get out to the users would be saved to this repository by you, the administrator. That way, users aren't a) getting unapproved/untested updates, b) users ARE getting updates that you deem a must c) they're not getting all the dependency errors and stuff that you mentioned. Remember, only you as an administrator can modify repository listings on the box anyway, so your users aren't able to fiddle around with this. This way, you have some level of control still, when you go to a user's workstation, and decide you need to do a check of updates. (Although, you have CLI options available, you could still want the applet for say a help-desk support person who doesn't have CLI abilities.) In my opinion, that's a more elegant solution than ripping out the updater altogether. No matter what operating system you're using, you should always set os updates to point to an internal server rather than an external server. -- ---Bryen--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

There should be a list of users authorized to run those two programs. One way would be to package them not world executable. Otherwise, we could do that in /etc/permissions.local. For 10.2 that would be: /opt/kde3/bin/opensuseupdater root.root 0650 or other suitable group. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

Ah, right. Anyway, root belongs to group root. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

True, but it still makes the permissions look a little strange.

It's available on the DVD and also from the installation repositories. I don't know if it's on the Gnome version of the CD installation since I don't have the GM release of that, or the KDE version.
