Has anyone gotten yast to work properly with opensuse10.1?
I assume you're talking about the online-update part of YAST.
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.
Here's what works for me:
Go into "installation-source". Turn off refresh and deactivate the update source. Get out of installation-source. Go back into "installation-source". Turn off refresh and activate the update source. Exit out of installation-source. Run online-update (you). Install your updates, which now show up. It's not as complex as that! want I do is at the installation-source choose to do refresh (using the button labeled edit) It seems that the refresh switch is not working proprely,because i have it on but the refresh is only done through the Edit button.
So want I do is at the installation-source perform a manually refresh of every repository but the original instalation source. Then leave the installation-source and everything seems to work fine (this worked even before the yast update things). regards,
