[Bug 388632] New: updater-applet (KDE) does not install recommended updates , repeatedly suggests new software available
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=388632 Summary: updater-applet (KDE) does not install recommended updates, repeatedly suggests new software available Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 10.3 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Update Problems AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: stephan.diestelhorst@amd.com QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: --- After enabling update repositories (Why not enabled by default? Why no meaningful error message by updater-applet?) update applet suggests that there are 3 recommended updates available: libaio-devel, sysconfig, translation-update (+optional: libiniparser-32bit, openmotif22-libs). Asking the updater to install requests the root password and shows the "Updating" pop-up, showing 0%. However, once I have entered the (correct) root password, nothing happens and after some time, update-applet again suggests it has new updates, with the same packages. THis starts another cycle. Happens regardless of whether I click on the "Details" button or not. Will attach zypper.log.

When only 'recommended' updates are signaled no installing takes place and the signalling is repeated (orange star). Using YaST
Software > Online Update works fine (I suppose like the CLI zypper users above).
Also when later a 'security' leel update joines the list openSUSE Updater is OK. -- 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.

Manually updating with zypper clears the problem temporarily, until the updater finds the next set of updates. I did find a suggestion in a forum to try unchecking the "keep password" box when entering my password to update, and that did solve the problem, at least for today. This only started happening for me recently, and I've been using 10.3 since last December. -- 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.

Yes, I can confirm: The problem appeared in the last weeks, not since release of 10.3. The workaround with the 'keep password' box is a workaround, but not a solution (think about newbies using openSUSE!) -- 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.

A workaround was to remove tab characters from the command that is passed to kdesu. (See: bug 389765) It is the first time that I've heard about a similar bug on openSUSE 10.3. Due to the fact that opensuseupdater works on zillions of workstations I guess the cause for this bug is different. -- 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.

As everybody states this bug is introduced in 10.3 about one month go. I do not hope that the fact that it is so young means that it is not serious. I do not know about the zillions, but are you aware of the facts that: a) a lot of people do not use the applet, but prefer to use YaST > Online Update evry other day or so; b) there are several threads in forums.suselinuxsupport.de about this problem (with workarounds provided by those who found it first) and that the number of people who found these threads, and thus did not complain at all, might be a multitude of this? -- 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.

OpenSUSE updater applet indicates update(s) => I try to update this way => nothing happens, after some time updater indicates update(s) again.....and so on (neverending). The update repository setting is correct, update via zypper or YAST is OK. After such update(s) applet indicates "No updates available" - that means it is able to recognize the right update status, but it isn't able to initiate the update process... What is interesting: I have 10.3 on two machines (desktop and notebook), the problem appears only on desktop... -- 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.
