Hello,
I was wondering how to get the Yast software update working again, i've installed my computer again and can't seem to get updates anymore, it's just keep saying that there are no updates available, when I configure the update it keeps connecting to suse and asking to login and enter the activation code for SUSE 10.1 Professional. It keeps accepting it but I don't get anywhere after that because it again and again keeps contacting the website.
Is there a way around this, can I configure it in a configuration file perhapse?
Thanks in advance!
Rolf.
I presented the exact same scenario several days ago, in post "biting the bullet". I have had no reply. I, too, am trapped in an endless loop of registering on the novell site, then going nowhere. During the original install, there was no way to connect the modem at that time, so I chose "register later". Judging from the return email from SuSE, I DID register later...but have not discovered the update links. There is such a huge plethora of discussion re "updater" that it is difficult to glean the correct procedure. (And I've been with SuSE every release since 6! ;-) ) Tom
