explaining to a new user (after their system is trashed) how to disable apper/packagekit leaves no rational/believable answer to their question: Why do you include software known to kill a system?
Could you please point out how an app which does not work/does not allow vendor changes can trash a system in a way zypper etc. cannot?
nope i can't do that.. and, of course we don't even have to use zypper or apper to trash the system, do we.. but the problem i'm talking about that not many new in from Windows will attempt to update/install with zypper (at least until they learn what a "terminal" is) but they will sure find many dozens of "1-Click Intall" buttons which by default leave a _wide_ variety of repos enabled (which the usual new user will happily leave enabled--hey its FREE, so it must be good to have more and more)....and then apper pops up list of upgraded software (NOT just from the update repo) and the new users automatically (seems like--since they are conditioned by their previous OS) give the go-ahead allowing the pop-up to make their decisions and just load up conflicting software and kill their system.. then they show up in the forums with blood-shot eyes and 10, 15 or 25 enabled and refreshed repos that apper/package kit is serving death from...asking why they can no longer boot, or . . . dd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
