Don't know where to find server stack traces on my computer, but the blue/white globe has not turned orange in about a month in my x86-64 partition. The 32 bit partition still glows orange this week, i guess i will test that tonight. BUT, Yast on line update found and is right now installing security updates on the kernel, oo, and php, a Yast2 printer patch and a couple of other patches, all sounding rather important!!!! It is my understanding that yast and zmd get the update info from the same source, is that not true? If it is, we might as well take the new update system out and put it out of it's misery, if it isn't, why don't we take it out any way and shoot it, it *stilll* is totally incapable. Yes, it had me fooled for over 2.5 months, alas it finally decided to show it's true colors... d. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I would still recommend to switch to opensuseupdater from zen-updater (do it from Yast with the patterns, unselect zmd based updater to opensuse updater). It is much easier on the CPU. -- Joe Morris Registered Linux user 231871 running openSUSE 10.2 x86_64 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

YESSSSSS!!! And that is why I claim that the point of no return has been reached(:

That is true.
That is a hard bit to swallow.

oh, zmd & co are definitely out now in my x86-64. But, as I have said in other posts, i think that the x86-64 version might be more buggy than the 32 bit, so i will experiment more with the 32 bit version. I hope it works better than x86-64. 'cause, if i am more happy with freebsd 6.2 lately installed as a vm-machine, i will switch to it in the next 3-6 months. I want something stable. For God's sake, even my os2 /deskview (mid ninenties, folx) setup was far more stable than my 64 bit 10.2, I ran a business on it...

Indeed, if you uninstall ZMD (and those which depend on it, zen-updater, rug etc) you will have opensuse-updater instead, which works fine. ZMD will not be installed by default on 10.3 (It is already removed in the alphas). _ Benjamin Weber -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

No, the last I checked those Gnome heads were still employed by Novell. Their one time to shine. They blew it big time. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
