I am running zypper dup and are happy with the results. I have one problem though. Due to a sometimes very unreliable adsl connection I have some problems. After I have okayed the choices for the update I have to sit before the monitor until the update is ready because regularly I get the information that a certain program can not be retrieved. Read through the zypper information and found nothing which would help me with automatically retry to connect to the respective server to get the data. Found --non-interactive update which promised to ask no questions with the update (same as dup?) but this command just answers to the default which is with zypper dup a for abort. If if would be r for retry I could expect to have my update done irrespectively of the bad connection of my ISP. Would be nice to have a third choice after receiving the amount of updates. For the moment it is only y/n?.Example: 9 packages to upgrade. Overall download size: 15.1 MiB. After the operation, additional 20.0 KiB will be used. Continue? [y/n/?] (y): Something like NIU (non-interactive update) could be a solution. Something to propose in OpenFate if it is not already available in zypper.

look at /etc/zypp/zypp.conf for commit.downloadMode The default is "sane method" what ever that is yet I use DownloadInAdvance HTH Togan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Dear Togan, In my /etc/zypp/zypp.conf I did have commit.downloadMode but it was marked out and did not show sane method :). I choose though DownloadInHeaps which is more to my idea. It download in heaps whereby at the end of each heap a consistent system state is reached. Furthermore I choose download.max_silent_tries = 5 which gives the amount of download tries without user interaction. Thanks for the idea of /etc/zypp/zypp.conf. -- Linux User 183145 using LXDE on a Pentium IV , powered by openSUSE 11.3 (i586) Kernel: 2.6.38-rc4-6-desktop LXDE WM & KDE Development Platform: 4.6.00 (4.6.0) 20:23pm up 8:20, 3 users, load average: 1.16, 0.73, 0.86 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
