Hello everybody, I have a nice piece of hardware equipped with a ahtlon 4000+ cpu. Everytime i boot my computer the suse updater spends several minutes of cputime. No problem, but I can't do anything during this time. Linux has a NICE priority mechanism, to my opinion the suse updater should run on a low priority. Why isn't it designed this way ? Is there a posibilty to do it myself, for instance with the "nice" command.
Thanks, Hans Hi Hans,
you are right, opensuseupdater takes a long time to get the list of updates when a lot of repositories are enabled.
There are some related feature request for opensuseupdater: - Opensuseupdater shouldn't check for updates every time you login but on defined intervals - Opensuseupdater should wait until system load is low
I will do my best to add these features to the next kde version of opensuseupdater.

The problem is also Linux. It is difficult to implement priority by the user. So far as I know linux has only 1 default priority and thats 0 for everything. It should have a mechanism to set different default prio's for users, processes and all childs or even for a whole shellprocedure. But linux hasn't it can only set prio for 1 process and after completion you are again on the default prio of 0.
