[opensuse] eeek! something ate my automagic updater file, apparently.
After an updater recommended kernal update and reboot this info appears
System.NullReferenceException: A null value was found where an object instance was required.
Server stack trace: at Novell.Zenworks.Zmd.Packaging.PackageManager.GetUpdates (Novell.Zenworks.Zmd.Catalog catalog) [0x00000] at Novell.Zenworks.Zmd.Packaging.PackageManager.GetUpdates () [0x00000] at Novell.Zenworks.Zmd.Packaging.RemotePackageMa
and then the updater goes away.. it appears every time I reboot, but I don't know where to even find the items it's referencing .. I can, of course still do online updates via yast but the little updater items or install via that item is dead. Just for kicks I uninstalled and reinstalled the updater, w/ no joy.. other than this I'm happy w/ just about everything I have poked at so far.. Thought I'd mention this just for the heck of it. The install is on the 64bit box , I will probably do it prettier when the boxed set comes so it's not the end of the world as we know it. Just an oddity I'm reporting for those who collect that sort of info. ** And one other item, which I mentioned during the testing phase , one can not, keep or install kde nor remove or not install Open Office. Those two items are tied together somehow . No RPM messages that help, It simply refuses to install kde w/o open office and wont uninstall open office unless I allow it to uninstall kde. Bug, or feature? Depends on desires I suppose. I would greatly prefer kde w/o any encumberance of apps required. At least try to keep such things as small as possible. AND any Office suite is rather larger than most who don't use them want or need. Still, I bought the boxed set , so I'm generally happy. I hope it installs as nicely on the rest of the boxen as the download did. ;) -- j Let's go down to the islands, tie up to a piling all winter we'll harbournate! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

As you mention you're using KDE, you might want to use the KDE updater instead, which doesn't require ZMD, and should free you of these problems. Deselect the "Enterprise package management" pattern and ensure the "openSUSE package management" pattern is selected (see http://en.opensuse.org/Image:Screeny102_software_patterns.jpg) and log out and back into kde and you should have the KDE openSUSE updater instead of zen-updater. _ Benjamin Weber -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

You also need to check the variable PREFERRED_SW_MANAGER_STACK in /etc/sysconfig/sw_management and make sure it is set to opensuse. Otherwise, if still set to zlm, opensuseupdater still will not start at login.

You will both get bonus G(ood) K(arma) points before weeks end. Given it's hols and all.. you can likely use them in one way or another. ;) -- j -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
