No confusion. I restored them at once, and also added Packman.
Attached ("NewSW.log") is the first log I made. After starting the capture, I clicked the new "black rectangle w/white down-arrow", which caused a dialog box telling me that new optional software is available, and asking to "Install"; but the Install button is greyed, and therefore ineffective.
Nothing much to see. Except that you probably need temporary fix for /etc/resolv.conf. Put in nameserver 127.0.0.1
Done.
Also disable IPv6 using YaST.
Done. I also deleted the lines relating to IPv6 in /etc/hosts (which may have been superfluous, since I had already disabled IPv6 in YaST. I do not know if the line for 127.0.0.2, because I don't know what it is.
It is useless for you, it just doubles name resolution queries, ie. slows down browsing. I remove it as soon as computer is on, system wide in YaST and then specially for Firefox (see some other tips http://en.opensuse.org/Firefox ).
Done.
I'm wondering how long it will take for IPv6 to pick up and finally make a day to those that push it. It is good idea that many years after introduction is just another layer of frustration for Internet users.
I note that this notice was for one single optional file, whereas past notices were for two, showing me that failed upgrades are being lost to me, not merely deferred.
It is probably software management related, and masks other. Again, use YOU, install that update first.
While updater applet is nice to have, I can't recall that it survives long in my tray. Recently I let it live, and more or less it works, but first few months it was most of the time off. YOU is the law. Stick with it and live happy.
There is no man page for "YOU", and the many google hits for the term do not seem to consider how to use it. When you say "YOU", do you mean the "Online Updates" in YaST > Software Management? As far as I can understand from looking at the GUI there, it seems that a package list should appear automatically when there are updates, because I don't see a way to enter package names. Is that correct?
Second, update repo has priority 20, while any other is 99 (default) which is not good for people that want to use extra repositories, including Packman.
No. The priorities are listed as follows: openSUSE-0 99 -Update 99 -Debug 100 -NonOss 100 -Oss 100 -Source 100 Only the Packman repository had priority 20. I have now changed it to 99 as well.
High priority is masking other repos, which is good if you don't have any extra repos, but in particular case it often leads to strange effects. Change update priority to be the same as other. If you don't play with priorities, then it would mean to 99 (default).
The second attachment ("YaSTSW.log") is for an attempt to reinstall XMMS with YaST (which is why I added the Packman repository). YaST went through its usual stages, telling me what it was going to install, etc, and crashed only at the end.
YaST in 11.1 has new behavior. It disappears as soon as it is done. There is feature request to change that, so that user doesn't need to start it for each package, and to give few words what happened.
It may be that I was blindsided by the new behavior. I thought that XMMS had not been reinstalled because YsST didn't stop (as I expected) and ask me if I wanted to do anything more. In fact, XMMS turns out to be installed: When I opened an online audio stream, the XMMS GUI came up with beautiful music. On the other hand, clicking on the XMMS icon in my second Panel does nothing. Since this application is accessible in this way, I see no need for RealPlayer, and have deleted its icon.
YaST now tells me that XMMS is installed, but I think that is incorrect, as calling XMMS from a CLI does nothing. But the apparent failure has restored the XMMS icon that I kept on a second panel on my screen.
I guess when you fix repository priority, restart YaST Software Management, and force XMMS update it should work.
I hope I have done properly what you asked, and have supplied some hints for going further.
Not much to see. There is a lot of activity around interface binding. I don't have it here, nor I know much about, so I can't say is it normal to see every 2 seconds something about binding.
No-flame disclaimer: I've seen some complaints on the forum deploring the use of attachments here. The two files I have attached are not text files; I see no way to convey them other than as attachments.
Both are < 56kB, so I can't see a problem.
Nor do I. I thought a small attachment would be more convenient for the reader, and less disruptive of the body of the message. I still do.
For bigger files, you can make tar.gz and upload on your server in some obscure directory and then post the link
