[opensuse] After a new install ?
I have reinstalled opensuse 10.3.
From an other thread I have read this:
"Yep, I never update using the suseupdater applet. I simply notice the red color, then fire up the full fledged qt style YOU. This one at least tells you there is a conflict. That way I wasn't catched this time. " I can see, that the red color means there's conflict. Dependency mostly I guess. I know that color blue means that an update exists. And the colors are shown here: Software=>Software Management=>Package Groups=>zzzAll Are there other colors, and if so what are their meanings ? I ask this because I have been trapped by the suseupdater applet! /Erik -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

In YOU and Software Management red marked means that you have newer version than the one in official repositories.
I know that color blue means that an update exists.
And the colors are shown here:
Software=>Software Management=>Package Groups=>zzzAll
Are there other colors, and if so what are their meanings ?

So far I know, no. -- Regards, Rajko. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
Do you think there is any chance of better colours? Red is not clearly distinguishable form black, and the blue used is not that good. At least to my level of colour vision What I have always failed to find is a "list all blue packages" ==John ff -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Do the following: - In the Software Management app, set the filter to "Installation summary" - Under "Show packages with status", check "Keep" - Package -> All in This List -> Update if newer version available - Under "Show packages with status", unchek "Keep" - Based on what you want to achieve, you may also want to uncheck the Autoinstall, Autodelete, Autoupdate boxes Tom -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I was looking for accessability options, but nothing yet. You can use Tom's workaround, or/and one of this: 1) Both blue and red lines look the same in black and white, it is slightly lighter gray that black text, but if you scroll right to see versions you can see numbers of installed and available versions. With blue text *available* version has light gray background. With red text *installed* version has black text on red background that as gray looks as dark gray, but text is readable. 2) Tooltips - hover with mouse over text and it will tooltip will pop up. They list file name and versions. 3) To have versions visible without scrolling you can squeeze width of columns: Package | Summary | Size | Avail. Ver. | Inst. Ver. Go to separator between column titles, and mouse pointer will change to double arrow <--> , press mouse left button and pull separator to column width that you like. Don't forget zypper: zypper lu will list available patches ie. update repository only, zypper lu -t package will list available packages ie. any other repository that you have. For instance: ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ~> zypper lu --help list-updates [options] List all available updates Command options: -t, --type <type> Type of resolvable (package, patch, pattern, product) (default: patch) -r, --repo <alias> List only updates from the repository specified by the alias. --best-effort Do a 'best effort' approach to update, updates to a lower than latest-and-greatest version are also acceptable. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Regards, Rajko.*kde*4 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
