[opensuse-factory] 11.0 installed but not without problems.
It is not recognizing repositories from the main download site (even though I look myself and the packages are clearly where it said it was looking for them). I ended up downloading rpm's by hand to install extra software that I wanted. ... and rpm tells me that there's some file called /var/lib/gdm/.gvfs that I don't have permission to read or write to ... even though elsewise rpm works. There's a few bugs hanging around here. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

e.g, this is what mine looks like and used for update from RC1. "zypper in <package>" works for extra software I need. [OSS] name=OSS baseurl=http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.0/repo/oss/suse path=/ type=rpm-md enabled=1 autorefresh=1 gpgcheck=1 keeppackages=1

I occasionally see the same for /home/<user>/.gvfs, my guess is that something mounts it and forgets to umount it when done with it, issuing "umount /home/<user>/.gvfs" clears it. It's something to do with FUSE. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce ...

Glad you found it - /etc/zypp/repos.d/. Likewise, I install everything. I have dhcp installed but not running, I leave that task to my smoothwall3 firewall box connected to cable and to the backup wireless ASDL router. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce ...
