[opensuse] smart channels disabled
Hello SuSE and Smart users, I've been using smart to keep my 10.2 up to date. I've noticed lately that none of my KDE packages are being updated. Did a smart channels show command and see that all of my three KDE channels are disabled. Been searching high and low (the really good Wiki, Google, etc.) for the way to enable without finding the way for at least one of them. Would some kind soul help me out here? BTW, which is the best for current but not bleeding edge? Bob S -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

The easiest way is probably to install the smart-gui (also on Pascal's site), and then in Edit -> Channels tick the disabled ones and press Close. Then do an update. -- Pob hwyl / Best wishes Kevin Donnelly www.kyfieithu.co.uk - KDE yn Gymraeg www.klebran.org.uk - Gwirydd gramadeg rhydd i'r Gymraeg www.eurfa.org.uk - Geiriadur rhydd i'r Gymraeg www.rhedadur.org.uk - Rhedeg berfau Cymraeg -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

What Kevin says plus watch when you are doing Channel Updates for messages about status changes and new channels being found. I've seen smart saying it needed to disable KDE and other channels from time to time, usually after a fresh install of smart. -- Stan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Hi Bob, I am running smart and KDE. Here is two KDE selection options: 1-Run KDE 3.5.5 (base install) + Packman Repo + GURU Repo So you can KDE 3.5.5 and full multimedia support. 2-KDE Repos +GURU and Packman Repo You may need to set channel priorities as KDE Repos have limited multimedia support due to legal issues. You have an up to date KDE. On the contrary KDE 3.5.7 packages updated again and you may have to download all KDE packages and upgrade them. I've upgraded KDE 3.5.7 twice via smart. You may also reinstall Kaffeine, Amarok, Ktorrent etc. from Packman and GURU repos. If multimedia and DHT etc is a priority Goksin Akdeniz www.linuxnet.com.tr www.enixma.org
