Hi,
first: sorry for inducing such a long thread, hope it wasn't in vain at the end ;-)

I've been silently going ballistic :). It's buggy but throwing it out without fixing the bugs gives no way for a regular user to install updates without becoming root, as Martin points out.
Don't understand that: Both apper and yast ask me to authenticate as root when i want to install updates, so i see no advantage for apper here.

Removing Apper means having no updater applet, no notification about available updates. There's no alternative to Apper for this.
In my opinion notifications don't help a lot when apper isn't able to install the notified updates (the buggy behaviour mentioned in my original post i can't reproduce now, but instead bug [1] appeares again).
Shouldn't it be easy for someone who knows how to access the notification area, to do something similar to the following crontab entry?:
10 10 * * 2 ( export DISPLAY=:0 ; kdialog --msgbox "`zypper --quiet patch-check`" )

Whoa whoa whoa that's WAY too efficient. Using tools that already exist? Instead of inventing a whole new system and living with bugs? Blaspheme. -- bkw -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
