Hi, in 11.4 and 12.1 i faced at least two apper bugs [1], which in my opinion have shown that this software is still beta, see also [2] Until a moment before i never saw the apper applet here on 12.2/RC2, and happily thought that it didn't got to 12.2. But now i wanted to update with Yast, and it gave me the following error: ------------------------------------ PackageKit is blocking software management. This happens when the updater applet or another software management application is running. Ask PackageKit to quit? ------------------------------------ I thought: What the heck, apper (= PackageKit(?)) still there? Ok, the former bugs surely are fixed now, so i will give it a try. Here is what happened: - starting apper per menu doesn't work, resp have to start it a second time - it then shows two icons: "Installed Software" and "Updates" - clicking once doesn't do anything (isn't it an KDE app and shouldn't one-clicks work? - double click on both icons gives error "an unknown error happened" - wait, forget the last but one point. one-click works, but it takes so long without any progress indicator, and the error arises anyway - After clicking away the error message, theres still a button left: "Check for updates ...". But pressing it leads to the same error again. ----------------------------------------------------------------- I propose to throw out "apper" because it still seems beta (and that for a long time). But above all because with "yast" there is a working alternative. db [1] http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=658934 https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=293959 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=737618 [2] http://unsolicitedbutoffered.blogspot.co.at/2011/11/opensuse-121-apper-issue... http://forums.opensuse.org/english/get-technical-help-here/network-internet/... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
