[opensuse-factory] Problem with KDE YaST system tray applet
Hi, I am using OpenSUSE 11.0 + KDE4 from the factory repository. Recently I noticed that the YaST system tray applet (with the SUSE logo that turns into a red warning sign or a yellow sun) stopped functioning correctly. It seems to identify correctly what packages need a patch or are upgradable but when I click on install: * with patches selected on the patch tab -> I am prompted for root password then nothing happens at all * with packages selected on the upgrade tab -> I am prompted for root password then get the following error message"kdesu(9820)/kdesu (kdelibs) KDESu::KDESuClient::command: [ /usr/src/packages/BUILD/kdelibs-4.1.3/kdesu/client.cpp : 196 ] no reply from daemon" If I use YaST2 or zypper I can perform the upgrades without problem. ~/jc -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
Hi JC Francois,
* with patches selected on the patch tab -> I am prompted for root password then nothing happens at all
This is a known bug - the reason seems to be that when there are dependency conflicts with patches, then the zypper command returns a prompt, and the KDE updater tool does not handle that case. See the bug report https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=399661 (In some cases, YaST is able to resolve the prompts without prompting the user, so you might see the bug even if YaST installs the patches/upgrades with no questions asked). There is currently no fix for SuSE 11.0 as far as I know (the link given in the bug report is now dead), but there is one in 11.1
* with packages selected on the upgrade tab -> I am prompted for root password then get the following error message"kdesu(9820)/kdesu (kdelibs) KDESu::KDESuClient::command: [ /usr/src/packages/BUILD/kdelibs-4.1.3/kdesu/client.cpp : 196 ] no reply from daemon"
As far as I recall, that was a problem with kdesu and long commands. It's most likely this bug: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=414284 (again, with the same dead link for a patch in SuSE 11.0) Hope this helps, Henning -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
