Hi Darryl, Thanks for your answer, was very well elaborated. I've done what you recommended, but seams there is a bug in Yast Installation Source module, because it can't assume the order of the sources, as I set them up, and doesn't appear the small box in the Source column in the Software Management panel. I'll try a few other repositories but, I can allways download the source manually. Regards Lívio Cipriano ----- Original Message ----- On 18/08/06 12:34, Lívio Cipriano wrote:

Hi,

The question might be silly, but moving from SuSE 9.2 to 10.1, how do I install the sources of the applications that are distributed with Yast, as in previous versions, or there is another (new) way?

You will have to add one of the installation repositories in Yast. The sources for individual packages can then be installed from the "add/remove software" section, in the upper right panel. There is a column at the extreme right of the panel labelled "source" (or something like that) -- just check the box for each package for which you want the source installed, then click on "continue". The closest mirror to you in Portugal is http://ftp.isr.ist.utl.pt, add the following installation sources: http://ftp.isr.ist.utl.pt/pub/MIRRORS/ftp.opensuse.org/opensuse/distribution... SL-10.1/inst-source/ http://ftp.isr.ist.utl.pt/pub/MIRRORS/ftp.opensuse.org/opensuse/distribution /SL-10.1/non-oss-inst-source/ Other openSuSE mirrors are listed at http://en.opensuse.org/Mirrors_Released_Version If you prefer to download individual source rpms as .src.rpm files, point your browser to for OSS sources: http://ftp.isr.ist.utl.pt/pub/MIRRORS/ftp.opensuse.org/opensuse/distribution... SL-10.1/inst-source/suse/src/ for non-OSS sources (sources for things like java, amarok and xv are here): http://ftp.isr.ist.utl.pt/pub/MIRRORS/ftp.opensuse.org/opensuse/distribution... SL-10.1/non-oss-inst-source/suse/src/

Hi Darryl, Here is what have done: 1. I set the DVD source inactive, both FTP sources active, first inst-source, then non-oss-inst-source (InstallSource-1.png), last the DVD source and I click Finish. It took a bit to close the window. I assume the catalogues were being updated; 2. I reopen the Installation Sources window and the order of the sources was not maintained (InstallSource-2.png); 3. I open the Software Managemente module and there were no boxes in the Source column (SwManagement-1.png). Any hint?

Try moving those URLs I gave you to the top of the list in the installation sources module, and you might also need to change the DVD/CD installation source to "inactive".

Hi Darryl, Just to send you the missing screen and to tell that I really find 9.2 one of the best distro from SuSE. Unfortunaly I had to change cause I bought an Lenovo Z60m and I didn't want to "playing" around with the drivers. I guess that the most efficient way to get the sources is to download them.

Of course, your images were stripped by the list server, so no one else has seen them. In the copies you sent privately, the last one is actually a duplicate of the second install source image.

Any hint?

I am relying on what others have said and done to resolve 10.1 issues (9.3 still runs quite well on my system, and will continue to do so until 10.2 reaches at least rc2 or final release). Now I am on new ground -- no one else has reported (that I can find) that the sources boxes don't appear after the repositories are added in Yast -- and am just guessing. You might try to refresh each of the remote repositories in the "install sources" module. You might also want to try to remove the DVD installation source. Which one to try first is up to you, but if it were my system, I would do both -- remove the DVD source, exit, restart the module and then refresh. If you still cannot see the source boxes, then if you absolutely must have some source packages, you will probably have to download them directly from the repositories -- or retrograde your system back to 9.2, and wait for 10.2.
