Hello:
I have changed to smart too. You can download a smart version preconfigured for suse 10.1 from here:
ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/misc/suser-guru/smart/10.1 It already has the channels (sites for package repositories) and mirrors for all the important suse package sites configured (including KDE updates, packman packages and suse updates).
I downloaded it (i586 version) and ran it. When I did, I got the message, "smart not included on the medium." What gives? This is getting more and more bizzare. I am seriously considering going back to good old 10.0, and doing my updates manually. :|
I then tried to run it again, and my machine simply rebooted after I clicked on it. I felt like there should be a blue screen somewhere telling my IRQ_NOT_LESS_THAN or something like that. 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.
Doing the test told me I needed python (which I already supposedly have), python elemental, and a bazillion other things. Trying to load python elemental (which I found on pbone.net) I got chastized for not having a bunch of other things. (I could swear I saw ctrl3d.dll in the
Main thing, is don't give up. It all DOES work.
Cheers.
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.ht... 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 I then tried to run the gui (what the heck, eh?): sith:/home/kai # smart --gui error: Interface 'gtk' not available 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?

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.

Kai,

Apparently not. Even though it seemed to run fine in YaST, I get "package not installed" when checking with rpm -q. Also now when trying to install smart-addons, smart-gui and smart-ksmartray (all 0.42-12), I get "package not found on the medium" errors. Thanks for your help.

Okay, got it! I added Guru as an install source, then got rid of the smart I downloaded and installed the five packages from there. Works beautifully now. Thanks! -- Kai Ponte www.perfectreign.com || www.4thedadz.com remember - a turn signal is a statement, not a request
