Carl: Thank you very much for that. I'm sorry to have missed that setting in the config! All: I'm experimenting with doing the updates (since I'm in this same thread I suppose this is appropriate to continue here) and find a couple "interesting" problems .. 1) One of the updates had something to do with starting or not starting ypbind based on whether or not an NIS server was designated with DHCP. I only skimmed through a couple of the descriptions so I don't recall which update it was. HOWEVER after I did the update the next reboot took about 10 minutes because suddenly the ypbind service had gotten enabled and the system was just sitting there trying to find an NIS server. The login to disable NIS also took a long time (probably while it tried to contact the non-existant NIS server). Anyway eventually I got in back to un-enabled and all is well. 2) Proving that life on the bleeding edge can result in some blood-loss, :) .. I've got the following as one of my YAST sources: http://software.opensuse.org/download/KDE:/KDE3/SUSE_Linux_10.0/ As a result some 53 packages show up in the Zen-updater list. Taking the default of all-selected, I click on the "Update" button and get a "Dependency Resolution Failed" pop-up box containing: ----------- Unresolved dependencies: Updating kdesdk3-3.5.2-2.i586 to kdesdk3-3.5.3-2.8.i586[20060603-173124] Updating kdemultimedia3-video-3.5.2-4.i586 to kdemultimedia3-video-3.5.3-15.1.i586[20060603-173124] Updating kdemultimedia3-mixer-3.5.2-4.i586 to kdemultimedia3-mixer-3.5.3-15.1.i586[20060603-173124] Updating kdeutils3-3.5.2-4.i586 to kdeutils3-3.5.3-3.7.i586[20060603-173124] There are no installable providers of libnetsnmp.so.5 for kdeutils3-3.5.3-3.7.i586[20060603-173124] There are no installable providers of libexpat.so.0 for kdemultimedia3-mixer-3.5.3-15.1.i586[20060603-173124] There are no installable providers of libexpat.so.0 for kdemultimedia3-video-3.5.3-15.1.i586[20060603-173124] There are no installable providers of libexpat.so.0 for kdesdk3-3.5.3-2.8.i586[20060603-173124] ------------- At this point Zen-Updater starts to exhibit some un-friendly-like behavior. I click "OK" to dismiss the warning box and go back to the Zen-Updater and disable "kdesdk3" and both of the kdemultimedia entries (but leave the kdeutils enabled). I then click the Update button and sure enough get a warning on kdeutils. So now I go back and uncheck kdeutils, click Update again and again get a warning on kdesdk3, kdemultimedia-video, and kdemultimedia-mixer! Zen-Updater has quietly re-selected the entries that I deselected. Bug? 3) This is probably a packaging error so maybe I'm now in the wrong thread but .. why do the above show up as referencing packages for which there are no providers? True-enough, searching Yast sw_single for something that provides libexpat.so.0 finds nothing (the "expat" package only provides libexpat.so.1 and libexpat.so.1.5.0). - Bruce Carl Hartung wrote:

When I first installed 10.1 the icon was there. At some point it stopped appearing however it did reappear after doing all of the steps in your email. It said I had 14 updates, which instead of applying I rebooted as I wanted to see if the missing icon problem was fixed or not. It is not fixed and once again I must run zen-updater by hand to get it back.
Hi Bruce,
After you launch it, right-click on the icon in the system tray, select configure, select 'Preferences' in the 'Configuration' window and check the "Start the software updater on login" checkbox.
regards,
Carl
