[opensuse] update a 11.1 server
Hello, I used to use yast to configure my server automatic updates, but the last one was 10.1 :-) now with 11.1 I don't find any yast module to configure *automatic* update. Of course I have no X in the server, so no applet... is it necessary to build a cron with zypper, or did I miss the yast odule? thanks jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://valerie.dodin.org http://news.opensuse.org/2009/04/13/people-of-opensuse-jean-daniel-dodin/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Not sure if it's the same in 11.1 but in factory online update configuration is part of the "Configuration" menu in software manager. Regards Dave P -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

You need to install the yast2-registration package. Then you're able to call yast2 online_update_configuration This YaST module does not require a working x.org configuration. The module works well in curses mode. Based on your configuration decision the module installs /etc/cron.{daily,weekly,monthly}/opensuse.org-online_update This file is a shell scrip which calls /usr/bin/zypper /etc/sysconfig/automatic_online_update allows you to manipulate the used defaults.

yes I have thix one now (and I looked in the config menu of yast software install, but before installing registration, so I didn't see anything
yast2 online_update_configuration
This YaST module does not require a working x.org configuration. The module works well in curses mode.
works also with yast2 in ssh -X mode
Based on your configuration decision the module installs
/etc/cron.{daily,weekly,monthly}/opensuse.org-online_update
the module seems buggy, as it don't find any update repository when there is one, even after calling the registration odule (and adding a second one) - including some weird message like no more gcc you will break your system :-( with yast2 I have only weekly option, but with yast (ncurse) I have the three ones (but still no repository) seems like I'm worth a bugzilla entry :-) but the cron job is there

I can do this, thanks, but include only: AOU_ENABLE_CRONJOB="true" AOU_SKIP_INTERACTIVE_PATCHES="true" jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://valerie.dodin.org http://news.opensuse.org/2009/04/13/people-of-opensuse-jean-daniel-dodin/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

This is a known issue of the Novell Customer Center team and they are working on it. Please file a bug if this issues doesn't get addressed in the next 24 hours. Meanwhile you might use zypper on the command line to apply existing patches zypper patch Lars -- Lars Müller [ˈlaː(r)z ˈmʏlɐ] Samba Team SUSE Linux, Maxfeldstraße 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany
