Greets;
My current 10.1 install seems to be rather funky when it comes to updating necessary patches. At first zms system went almost 10 days without and update.
Get just the libzypp update and apply that only. You can then either do, as root, 'rczmd restart' or reboot. Then check out the other updates. This is crucial to get the libzypp applied _and only_ libzypp at this time. Note: I did a fresh install off the retail 10.1 DVD this past weekend to blast the hard drive and repartition for SUSE Linux only and the very first YOU update had just libzypp chosen. I knew to _only_ do that one update, reboot or rczmd restart, and then get other updates. Works great. None of the original problems with the new updater happened. So that issue is fixed well enough for any new install these days. I haven't tried an upgrade from SUSE Linux 10.0 to know if the new package management, software updater works there too.
So my question are as follows;
1. Can I turn off Novells-zms system and use yast only to get update patches.
Sure. Not really an issue once you get the current libzypp update done.
2. If not, how in the world does the new system work.
Not well until you get the new libzypp update installed. Then it works much better. Not perfect yet but SUSE is working to resolve those other issues such as performance, more information displayed, etc.
3. Could it be that I am in KDE and that it has gnome specifics and dependancies to work properly as this is now the officially supported flavour.
No. Doesn't matter which window manager you use. Would be the same issue for XFce, Enlightenment, TWM, etc.
Thanks for any help you can send this way.
Best regards
