5.30.2006 I have read all the email regarding problems with YAST. I have managed to update installing / using a command line utility which can update / add repositories. Unfortunately, I still cannot open YAST. Worked fine in 10.0. Upgraded to 10.1 and, it wouldn't open. As you know, YAST does a lot of things besides just package management so it would be cool if I could actually get into it. Sigh. Anyone have any ideas. Would be most grateful.

If you run it from a command line, do you get any error messages?

Have you installed the update files in either: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/aj/10.1-packagemanagement-update-test/10.1-x86_64/ or ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/aj/10.1-packagemanagement-update-test/10.1-i386/ There are several ways to get them in. I had to manually do it via the command line in a super user window with rpm -Uhv --force --nodeps filename.rpm and do it individually for each file until all had finished. If you have another updating utility like apt get or smart, you can do this as well but the programs will ask for dependencies that you may or may not have. Everything works after the forcible install. Earlier messages on the system cover how other people handled it as well. Good luck Ralph Ellis

I forget which exact site that I got Smart from but you should check http://packman.unixheads.com/suse/10.1/ and ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/misc/suser-guru/rpm/10.1 I think that the smart program came from gwdg. You will have to install it manually and I believe that there is a KDE front end GUI for it as well. Good luck Ralph Ellis

Why not just install it from the install media? -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998 -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com

Just an update. The smart program is on ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/misc/suser-guru/rpm/10.1/RPMS/ I got mine in the x86_64 section. I have only tried it once or twice but it looks useful. Ralph Ellis

I have not used the Smart program enough to see how you add new sources to it but it seems to pick them up from the Yast installation source settings but there may be a way to add them directly in the program. Ralph Ellis
