[opensuse-factory] Software Updater 10.3 Alpha 2
Hey Group; As a user (not root or su) on this system with root permissions while using KDE3 the Software Updater showed that there some 1400 updates. Yes! 1400. I called up the updater yesterday and it stated "Resolving dependencies" Here it is today and it is still trying to "Resolving dependencies". It is grayed out with no escape/abandon button. With the mouse pointer over the image I have a running clock. I think "kill -9" may be in order Anyone with an idea? -- 73 de Donn Washburn 307 Savoy Street Email: " n5xwb@hal-pc.org " Sugar Land, TX 77478 LL# 1.281.242.3256 Ham Callsign N5XWB HAMs : " n5xwb@arrl.net " VoIP via Gizmo: bmw_87kbike / via Skype: n5xwbg BMW MOA #: 4146 - Ambassador " http://counter.li.org " #279316 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
Damn it. I accidentally answered directly instead of sending to the list, sending here also, so noone will waste time repeating my answer. Den Saturday 28 April 2007 23:55:19 skrev Donn Washburn:

Anyone with an idea?
That sounds suspiciously like zen-updater, aren't you aware that zmd+friends are being dropped for 10.3? Using and testing them is rather pointless now imho. So my idea is to kill that process, remove all zenworks package management (zmd, zen-updater, rug, libzypp-zmd-backend) as quickly as possible and update using the 10.3 tools instead: * YaST software management (Package -> All packages -> Update if newer version available) or; * zypper (zypper up -t package) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
