Hi, I found this thread in the lists: http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse/2006-07/msg00950.html It's a little bit old, and for version 0.42 of smart. I'm using 0.51 from guru repo on opensuse 10.2, and still have this exact problem. I.e. following the advises from all the posts I could find on the topic, I still can not make ksmarttray to go and refresh(update) the channels. If I manually update the channels with smart update as root, then ksmarttray will display that there are pending updates. But it will not do it by itself, unless I run it as root. I found another post, which directs to execute SuSEconfig --module permissions, so ksmarttray receives a suid setting or so, but it did not help as well. Do I need to set ksmarttray suid manually? Is this a problem with the package itself? Or should I follow the workaround proposed by the author of the above mentioned post - to run a cron job to do smart update, and then let ksmarttray run as user, and only notify for updates? Or, changing the the permissions of /var/lib/smart tree, and make this belong to some (maybe wheel) group, so I can run ksmarttray as member of that group? Any suggestion what should be the safest approach?
