SUSE Linux Beta5 is delayed
FYI: Beta5 is planned to be released tomorrow, Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, aj@suse.de, http://www.suse.de/~aj/ SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126
I have installed Beta 4 without errors or problems and I am wondering how updates are being done now. Do we still set an installation source (repository) and update, or is there another way? Please be sympathetic ;) I am new to this and trying to learn. I did updates in previous versions by going and adding the package repositories from the OpenSuse Site, and then doing Software Management and updating the packages that way. Now it doesn't work that way, so I am assuming things have changed. Thanks for any and all help in advance, AceMan On Feb 23, 2006, at 7:58 AM, Peter Czanik wrote:

There are two kinds of updates on SuSE. 1) Security updates, handled with YOU 2) Updating to unsupported ("unstable") or 3. party packages from various installation sources, handled with Software management. This basically hasn't and won't change. But.. SuSEwatcher/YOU will be/has been replaced - with something that none of us has really been able to test yet. "Software management" is also undergoing some major changes - and specifically in beta4 it has very little functionality - among other things with respect to installation sources and updating. So what you want to do - especially being new to this - is relax for now and check out beta5 which is expected to be released tomorrow.. Hopefully with a package manager ready for some heavy duty bug testing ;) cb400f
Well the reason I ask (and this could be a bug I suppose). I went and added the ftp respositories to installation source, and it verified and said it was okay, but the second I chose okay and it closed, I would immediately go back in, and it had disappeared. That is why i wondered if something had chanaged. AceMan On Feb 23, 2006, at 8:36 AM, Martin Schlander wrote:

This is a (known) bug - not a change. cb400f
Thank you, that's good to know. I was afraid I was doing something wrong. Kevin On Feb 23, 2006, at 8:49 AM, Martin Schlander wrote:

It is bug 152085 on http://bugzilla.novell.com. There is a thread here in factory on it as well. Dave -- "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
