yes, it was a copy-paste. That is what my system gave me - on my desktop. Haven't tried it on my laptop. I am wondering where that comes from. I haven't run a zypper dup on my desktop in a long time - maybe I will try that now.
it appears you somehow ran zypper as some elevated user (s/b root) and the repos (/etc/zypp/repos.d/*) were not available to that user. to confirm your repos zypper lr (list repos) I don't know now how yast works with packages as I have not used it since zypper became available. I prefer commandline and zypper is easy and dependable and understandable. but part of that comes with use. personally I disable zypper auto update repos and use the three part commandline stanza I presented previously. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet freenode -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
