https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=450105 Summary: gnome updater applet: don't run smolt unless /var/run/smolt_do_opensuse_run exists Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: Factory Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: GNOME AssignedTo: sreeves@novell.com ReportedBy: dmueller@novell.com QAContact: qa@suse.de CC: coolo@novell.com, maint-coord@suse.de Found By: --- there is a problem with the way smolt is launched currently. by default no updates are run during installation, so first time login is the first time when updates are installed. it is also the time when the smolt popup is triggered, which causes a chicken&egg problem: we cannot ship updates that fix smolt functionality. therefore, I would suggest to delay the popup until /var/run/smolt_do_opensuse_run exists. so the functionality would be: after each update: a) check if the file /var/run/smolt_do_opensuse_run exists b) check if it is an opensuse distro (.desktop file or whatever is implemented) c) check if it wasn't asked before d) do run can we implement that still? see also bug 450104 for the KDE side. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
