Today at work, I became very frustrated with SMART on my laptop. It worked great yesterday at home, then today it was giving me a whole host of errors.
I was trying to install tuxracer (or rather penguin racer) and lineak. In both cases, I kept getting parameter errors.
Before writing the list (and possibly being godwinated) I wanted to see if I had the same problems at home.
Sure enough, I installed those packages without a hitch.
Is there - that people know of - an issue with some of the smart repositories behind firewalls. It seemed to work fine for the "offiical" SUSE repo, but none of the others. I was authenticated and could get out to web pages, but just not the smart repos.
This might be the same problem I am having. I never thought of the firewall since I could manually download the files without a problem. I will try it at home tonight and confirm if this might be the case. I only seem to be having problems with packman though. Regards Marius
