On the 25 November '08 I wrote (as a Reposted message): When zypper is downloading upgrades in YaST2 (Online Update), a loss of connection to the internet can occur, or some other hiccup, causing zypper not to complete the download. When this occurs zypper sits around for what seems like an eternity, doing nothing, and then announces that an error has occurred; it then expects some response from you and if you select Retry this gets (99.999% of the time) zypper to complete the download. This sitting around doing nothing "for hours" is a PITA - and there is nothing that one can do except to wait until zypper decides to advise you that an error has occurred. The ABORT button does not work so one just sits and waits. (Of course, there is always the drastic step of CTRL-ALT-ESC to exit zypper.) Somewhere there must be timer setting which controls how long zypper keeps trying to resume its task. Does anyone know where this setting is located so that the user can set the timeout period. Nothing I can see in zypper help and nothing shows up in /etc/zypp. Can anyone provide an answer, please? (I have posted this question twice now and while I did get several responses none provide the answer on where zypper's timeout timer is located and therefore can be reset to a lower figure.)
