Look, go to this URL:
and download the 5 packages for SuSE and for your CPU (you don't need the one with 'debug' in its name).
UNISTALL the smart package which comes with SuSE itself and then install the 5 rpms. Firstly, do this
rpm -ivh *.rpm --test
and then if there are no errors (there shouldn't be) drop the "--test" from the line.
Well, unfortunately, that didn't work. I feel like I'm being subjected to purgatory for using Windows all these years. If it isn't DLL-hell, I'm now in dependency hell.
Main thing, is don't give up. It all DOES work.
Okay, after a long delay, I finally reinstalled 10.1 on my system. I backed up what I needed and did an install from scratch. First off - the wireless is working "MUCH" better. I have KWallet running with no password, and I'm able to successfully attach automatically to my WEP network. :)
I was also able to install python and elementree with smart. I've spent some time reading information about how to run smart and am stumped.
I read this: http://dev-loki.blogspot.com/2006/05/how-to-install-and-use-smart-on-suse.h tml and this: http://susewiki.org/index.php?title=Smart
I did smart --update and got the following:
sith:/home/kai # smart update Loading cache... Updating cache... ######################################## [100%]
Updating cache... ######################################## [100%]
Channels have no new packages.
I then tried to install the gui, based on what i'd read:
sith:/home/kai # smart install smart-gui Loading cache... Updating cache... ######################################## [100%]
error: 'smart-gui' matches no packages
Kai, Did you successfully install the gui package from the above reccomended labix.org? Check it with the rpm -q command.
I then tried to run the gui (what the heck, eh?):
sith:/home/kai # smart --gui error: Interface 'gtk' not available
You get that when the gui package is not installed.
Ideas? Also - do I need to get rid of Zen? Do I need to uninstall it or does it run in conjunction with smart? If I run YaST, will that mess Smart up?
No, don't worry about the other installers. Smart will work with or without them and in conjunction with them. Bob S.
