I have suddenly started having trouble with Yast Online Update, which I
run as console mode via ssh.
The current symptom is that when I launch the YOU module from Yast, it
crashes back to a command line and puts out the following message:
sbin/yast line 149: 22497 Aborted /usr/lib/Yast2/bin/y2base $module "$@" ncurses
I am hoping there is some file lying around I can delete to get Yast's YOU
back to a normal state -- anyone have any ideas?
====================[ background info ]=================================
SuSE 8.0.
Here is how I think I got into this mess... YOU displayed the following
messages (overwriting the normal ncurses screen):
Could not find valid trust path to the key. Let's see whether we can
assign some missing owner trust values. No path leading to one of our
keys found.
Note that root's .gnupg directory does contain the suse-supplied keys:
# gpg --list-keys
/root/.gnupg/pubring.gpg

I reported earlier a problem I had running the ncurses version of YOU on SuSE 8.0 and how I dug myself deeper into a hole trying to work it out. Well, I have learned a couple of things -- problems in YOU: 1. YOU does not seem to be compatible with GPG version 1.07 (1.06 is what SuSE 8.0 installs). When using GPG 1.07, the following message is displayed: Warning. It is not possible to check the patch xxx (xxx represents the patch name) as no GPG package is installed or the patch description is damaged. For this reason SuSE can not guarantee that the patch originates from SuSE. Although this is the same message discussed in SDB article http://sdb.suse.de/en/sdb/html/swiegra_you-gpg.html, it is not the same problem. I only see the message with GPG 1.06 and I am already doing the things suggested in the SDB article. 2. The ncurses version of YOU corrupts the ncurses screen with the following message although th module functions OK otherwise (except that maybe it is not properly checking the signature): sbin/yast line 149: 22497 Aborted /usr/lib/Yast2/bin/y2base $module "$@" +ncurses Does anyone else see these problems? -- Robert C.

Hi folx Over the past couple of years questions about adding a whole bunch of new users to a system have cropped up quite regularly, so I thought people might be interested in this article on O'Reilly's web site about using a script to do just that :) http://linux.oreillynet.com/pub/a/linux/2002/05/09/uid.html Alan Lenton -- http://www.ibgames.net/alan Registered Linux user #6822 http://counter.li.org
