Maybe I explained badly. I understand these operations, I meant to say... when open "yast" not from terminal but graphical, if possible to have inside the graphical box of "factory-update" package, the possibility to check directly from it the change on zypp.conf in a future release of openSUSE or is a stupid idea? Ok, no problem... Forget what I said. You can close this thread. Il 21/06/2012 15.21, Guido Berhoerster ha scritto:

Thank you for very fast reply.
I apologize, one question. I've understand and i will changing my Zypp.conf file... But is possible, on box of this graphic utility (factory-update), to have the possibility to change this, with a check button so can rewrite in automatic the file zypp.cof? I know that who use Linux system from much time, this is a stupid question, but for who is the first time in the Linux world, it would simplify life.
Excuse me for my english is no good.
Please don't hijack threads.
I do not believe this to be possible. However, Maurizio, if you hit ALT-F2 and type "kdesu kwrite /etc/zypp/zypp.conf" followed by your root account password you'll have a graphical editor in which you can change this file.
On a gnome desktop I am unaware of an easy way to have a root gedit window but I'm sure it is possible somehow.
That's bad advice, there is no need to run a an editor with root privileges. Use "SUDO_EDITOR=/path/to/my/editor sudoedit /etc/zypp/zypp.conf" from a terminal, it does the right thing, ie. it makes a copy of the file letting you edit it as a user and replaces the original file with the edited copy once you're finished. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
