[opensuse] Software Management closes after install - openSUSE 11.4 - KDE
In 11.0, when a package was installed via Software Management, it remained open prompting for another package to open. However, with 11.4, Software Management closes immediately, requiring it to be restarted, scanning and all, before another package can be installed. This is an irritating waste of time, when installing multiple packages. Is it possible to restore the previous behaviour? tnx jk -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Near bottom of /etc/sysconfig/yast2: PKGMGR_ACTION_AT_EXIT= is set to "close" by default, not what you want.

It's easy once you know where to go :-) Go to YaST Control Center > System > /etc/sysconfig Editor Open System > YaST2 > GUI > PKGMGR_ACTION_AT_EXIT Set to "restart" Click OK That should do it. Next time you run the Package Manager it should work as you want. C. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Ah yes, Sysconfig, the crutch of lazy programmers. -- _____________________________________ ---This space for rent--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
