BUG 152085 - Installation Sources 10.1 Beta 4
With Beta 4, I have the problem that the Installation Sources section of YAST doesn't remember the sources I enter. After initial install, the list of sources is empty (not even the install CD is listed). If I enter the CD, Factory and other sources, clicking on the Finish button "erases" them, and looking at sources again shows that there are none. Going into Software Management, I can then, obviously, only delete installed packages, as SM cannot find any additional packages. This is frustrating as I can't update to factory or otherwise search for new packages without manually downloading and installing the individual packages. Is there a temporary workaround, i.e. can I directly edit a configuration file to add the sources so that I can use the software manager to install packages? (and if so, which file?) Has this been addressed in Factory/Beta 5 and would I be better to wait until I download the delta ISO's for B5? Dave -- "I got to go figure," the tenant said. "We all got to figure.

Here's an answer from the YaST team: Let's try this script. It adds a new source via YaST YCP. Invoke it as root: /sbin/yast add-source.ycp If needed, the URL can be changed in the YCP source. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ { Pkg::SourceStartManager(true); Pkg::SourceCreate("http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/SL-OSS-factory/inst-source/", "/"); Pkg::SourceFinishAll(); } ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is a hack, I now...

Thanks for the tip, but that didn't work "I/O warning : failed to load external entity "" ", a second attempt (after double checking the text in the script) it now says "No such client module add-source.ycp" Going into the software manager doesn't list any packages that haven't been installed. :-( (I tried re-installing Beta 4 yesterday, "just in case", but that also hasn't changed anything.)

Hmm, it isn't installed by default, I assume it is on the CD's somewhere I'll search through them and see if I can find the package and manually install it...

Are you talking aboy y2pmsh? It is in the package y2pmsh. `pin` is your friend. `pin y2pmsh` or if you are sure it is a binary; `pin bin\y2pmsh` houghi -- Nutze die Zeit.

Thanks houghi, I found it on CD3. -- "I got to go figure," the tenant said. "We all got to figure. There's some way to stop this. It's not like lightning or earthquakes. We've got a bad thing made by men, and by God that's something we can change." - The Grapes of Wrath, by John Steinbeck

OK, found it on disk 3 and installed it. It ran without error, but the software manager still doesn't find any packages which aren't installed, and no updates for the installed packages :-( Dave -- "I got to go figure," the tenant said.
