Hello:
I have changed to smart too. You can download a smart version preconfigured for suse 10.1 from here: ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/misc/suser-guru/smart//SUSE-10.1/ by the way, it is here:
ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/misc/suser-guru/smart/10.1
:)
It already has the channels (sites for package repositories) and mirrors for all the important suse package sites configured (including KDE updates, packman packages and suse updates).
I downloaded it (i586 version) and ran it. When I did, I got the message, "smart not included on the medium." What gives? This is getting more and more bizzare. I am seriously considering going back to good old 10.0, and doing my updates manually. :|
I then tried to run it again, and my machine simply rebooted after I clicked on it. I felt like there should be a blue screen somewhere telling my IRQ_NOT_LESS_THAN or something like that. Look, go to this URL:
and download the 5 packages for SuSE and for your CPU (you don't need the one with 'debug' in its name).
UNISTALL the smart package which comes with SuSE itself and then install the 5 rpms. Firstly, do this
rpm -ivh *.rpm --test
and then if there are no errors (there shouldn't be) drop the "--test" from the line.
Well, unfortunately, that didn't work. I feel like I'm being subjected to purgatory for using Windows all these years. If it isn't DLL-hell, I'm now in dependency hell.
Doing the test told me I needed python (which I already supposedly have), python elemental, and a bazillion other things. Trying to load python elemental (which I found on pbone.net) I got chastized for not having a bunch of other things. (I could swear I saw ctrl3d.dll in the list.)
Oh dear, mea culpa :-( . I forgot to mention that you need to install python-elementtree before installing smart packages. Python-elementtree is available as a SuSE install- you don't have to go anywhere to get it. Do: "Start"/System/Yast Control Centre/Software/Software Management and search for python-elementtree and then install it. This will fix your problem and you can now install the smart packages. Main thing, is don't give up. It all DOES work. Cheers. -- This computer is environment-friendly and is running on OpenSuSE 10.1
