HI Has anyone gotten yast to work properly with opensuse10.1? I have added sources to yast and I still can not use yast reliably. This has to be the worst suse I have ever seen. I downloaded the rpm for the latest firefox and it refuses to install. I have yet to see the security updates show up in yast.
I also am having problems and more than problems. I've been using synaptic with apt for quite a wile and was totally happy with it. Once I got it configured, no problems and I could do a YOU also.
using http://ftp.ale.org/pub/suse/update/10.1 as a repository with YOU I get a list of thing to update (all in red) and another list of things in blue . So far so good. Oddly enough everything comes through with a blue check (not the update) mark.
I click accept and the screen vanishes and nothing happens. Restart YOU and the same programs are there same as before.
I alter the blue checks (keep) to updates and click it. It says installation finished and then back to Yast. Restart YOU and the same programs are still there with the blue checkmark next to each.
The blue entries mean they are already installed so there is nothing to do. IIRC, the red entries mean you already have a newer version installed so there is nothing to do there as well. This is the normal behavior of YaST, there is no problem. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998 -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com
