Hi all, has anyone else noticed that sometimes (about 50% of the time), when you click on the install/remove software module in yast it doesn't start the first time you click it, it doesn't start the second time you click it...you have to click it three times before it starts. I thought I was imagining it at first, but it seems to be a real problem... Can anyone back me up on this one? daveor

I thought I had the problem, once (and reported it on the SuSE-Linux-E list). However, I've come to suspect that I might have been suffering from lack of patience. Even on my very fast machine (3.0 GHz HT Pentium 4, 1 GB of RAM and 10,000 RPM disks on a SCSI-160 interface), it takes quite a while for the Install and Remove module to show it's face after you click the button.
Can anyone back me up on this one?

Hi Randall, I decided to test whether or not it was impatience. I started the install/remove module it's been 15 minutes and it hasn't appeared. Also no additional yast processes are running - it seems that they start but are exiting before bringing up the GUI. daveor On Wednesday 01 September 2004 11:44, Randall R Schulz wrote:

That definitely sounds like a problem. The one time that this happened to me (I didn't wait 15 minutes, but now that you mention it, I think I did check what processes were running and the YaST installer module was not there), I rebooted and the problem has not recurred since, and I've run the Install and Remove module many times since then.

Hmm, couldn't see anything helpful in /var/log/YaST2 either... Does anyone know who should I report this to...or what should I do next? thanks, daveor On Wednesday 01 September 2004 13:37, Randall R Schulz wrote:

hmm, what are you guys doing to your systems? From the moment of selecting that module to module window appears is 10 seconds. To full operability, after checking files & dependencies, 15 seconds. That Ultra 160 should be killer Randall, since my IDE is only doing ATA 100 and IDE sucks. ;o) Sure sounds like something is out of sync on somebody's systems to me.

Or, it could be just about people's expectations... I'm using a something similar with Randall's so 10 to 15 secs "takes quite a while" -- I guess ;)

I don't really think there's a problem. I have 1636 packages installed ("rpm -qa |wc -l") and have two configured installation sources, the distribution DVD and an FTP server. I think the latter slows the startup process. Also there appears to be a very sizeable effect from in-memory caching of disk blocks, because if I run it twice in immediate succession, the second launch is much quicker. Once everything's cached, starting "time /sbin/yast2 sw_single" and pressing "Cancel" as soon as the watch cursor changes to the arrow gives: Elapsed: 0m16s; User: 0m11.1s; System: 0m1.3s The main Install and Remove window appears about 7.25 seconds after I launch yast2. So like I said, I'm just impatient.

I noticed a slowdown when I added a FTP server the the sources. It also seems to slow down if I have NFS client running to another computer. Rich

Hey guys. Just a hint here. SUSE doesn't officially monitor these mailing lists for problems with software, bug reports, or to help. Any help from any SUSE employee is on their own time. To report problems go to http://www.suse.com/cgi-bin/feedback.cgi -or- http://support.novell.com/additional/bugreport.html and report them online. Only way to make sure they get it. You may get an automated response that your email was received but unless they need more details they won't contact you about it. Been this way for years with SUSE. The security list is probably the most often monitored list by SUSE employees and rightly so. If it isn't security related you'll either get ignored or told to go to the URLs above. Just a friendly FYI in hopes that problems will get reported and eventually fixed. Thanks, Stan
With the rpms from August 31 i have successfully installed kde-pim for KDE 3.3. But I do not succeed in installing KOrganizer. Yast does not recognize, that kde-pim is installed, and says that a lot of dependencies are not fullfilled. Any ideas. Wolfgang
