i'm having trouble with security updates. They only show up with Apper, zypper shows nothing....
You should only be using zypper dup with TW. Since TW is a rolling release there currently are no "update" repos.
This only adds confusion to what TW is all about....... :-( .
I have a copy of TW installed on the laptop.
When I am in the mood I run 'zypper refresh' in TW - and occasionally (like a couple of days ago) - when I then run 'zypper patch' and 'zypper up' I get a list of lots and lots of files to be updated and/or replaced.
Note: I have never run 'zypper dup' but only 'zypper up' on TW.
So what you are telling me is that I must always run 'zypper dup' and not 'zypper up' on TW?
You can run whatever you wish. Choose what works for your work-flow. The original Tumbelweed "required" *dup* as newer/later versions of aps were not always in the same repos and *up* will not jump repos w/o a configuration change. But Tumbleweed is no longer maintained by Greg KH and methods change but the need for "up" vs "dup" has not really been defined or announced, to my recollection. Greg KH said that "dup" was required for proper function, "at that time". I have been using "dup" since the inception of Tw with the only ?drawback? being the downgrade of a few packages at differing intervals but those same packages are upgraded after a short period. I imagine this relates to builds not being finished at the time "I" upgraded, and just drive on. Locks, priorities and other actions can always be employed to redirect zypper function to match your desires. It's linux, there is nearly always more than one way to accomplish a task and someone will always believe their way is best/preferred/correct/.......... I choose to run "dup" for Tw installs and "up" for servers. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
