Hi list, some more details on the issues reported in my original post, using the same numbers as there (I cite the old mail for reference) - plus two new issues, one of them related: 1) One upgrade for "smolt" was shown in the detailed view (went away when I installed the patch). Other upgrades (provided by packman I think - naming of upgrades in YaST does not quite work, see point 6) are not shown. I added the Factory repository, and these upgrades were shown correctly. So it seems to be a problem depending on the repository - does upgrading packages from the packman repository via kupdateapplet work for anyone? 2) The problem of having to enter the root password twice seems to go away when switching to zypper. The original error message was a packagekit message, so that makes sense. 3+4) Went away when switching to zypper. 5) (more a kdesu problem than kdeupdateapplet I guess): The kdesu dialog does not have an "ignore" button, although the text says that you can press it 6) In YaST, when checking "available versions" of the newly available packages, the repository names are wrong. For example, for kaffeine, YaST shows a version "0.8.7-2.pm.2-i586 from repo_2", but in the repository manager, there is no repository with that name. This might be related to issue 1 (upgrades not shown for some repositories), since there seems to be an inconsistency with the available metadata. If I can help with fixing these issues, please let me know - I have had many problems with the updater applications (both opensuseupdater and kupdateapplet), so I'd really be happy if this would work better in 11.1 See you, Henning
Hi list,
I installed 11.1 RC1 (fresh install from DVD image), and have two problems with the updater applet using KDE 4.1:
1. Upgrades are not shown, even if YaST displays them. This problem appears both with the Packagekit and the zypper plugin. Is there some option that I need to turn on in addition to "show available upgrades if backend provides them"?
2. When installing patches (these are shown correctly), the first authorization dialog fails: I get an error message about missing user permissions (sorry, need to wait for the next available patches to get the exact wording). On a second try, updating starts, but I'm not asked for a password again (hence I don't think I mis-typed).
3. Even when updating starts (this again applies only to patches, I could not get upgrades of packages to show in the applet), after the first try, the same patches still showed as available. Repeating the procedure again then installed the patches.
4. The progress dialog does not report which patch is applied, it just reads "updating", with the progressbar not indicating a percentage, but going back from 0 to 100 and back continously.
Does anyone else have these problems, or am I doing something wrong?
All the best, Henning
