I understand from this that I can clear the variable myself from a root konsole but yast is unable to do this, correct? As I said previously I successfully stopped a fresh instance of zypper from using the proxy by clearing the variable from the command line as root. Regards Dave P
you can do so as root as you're 'working' in bash in which own env0. So all set and unset operations go straight there. As soon as you start another process, it receives a copy of env0 and thus it can't change the environment for any command you're going to start from bash later on. you as user in bash modify env0, yast will only have access to env0.1 (not a problem of yast, it's the way process spawning deals with environments) Dominique -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
