But, when I went to update some packages, it hung. Log says something about trying to access media (I'm assuming the install media).
Yes, that is a bug in zypper i've fixed yesterday. It should not ever try to access the CD to get the metadata except when adding it as a repo. I'm currently testing the fix, no need for a new bug report. But the original problem seems to be that the applet acts as if zypper is still running, even though it finished correctly. Josh?
Anyway, in general, it seems the applet doesn't give any feedback on these types of errors. I'll attach the log.
Yes, that's a known deficiency, see e.g. http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-softwaremgmt/2007-09/msg00000.html -- 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.
