Why is it necessary to build a new database of patches every time I choose another YaST s/w function?
The delays waiting to update or pick a new package are quite a time hit.
Even if these processes just completed and I leave YaST an re-enter I have to wait again a very long time before I can choose another package. Switching between "Online Update" and "Software Management" does the same thing over again.
Can't a system be designed to at least give the user the illusion that it is going faster?

It is annoying, but software management is under heavy development and it is better all the time. Though, I complained on fact than YOU doesn't need to update world, but only one repository and I was not satisfied with comment.
Bug https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=304211 was closed as invalid, but if you can see the same symptoms than please reopen it and attach /var/log/YaST2/y2log. To get very verbose output try from console: zypper -vvvvv ref | tee > refresh it will update all repositories, and console output will be written in file refresh.
BTW, the best place for complains about Beta is opensuse-factory mail list. For developers is now very busy time and they probably follow bugzilla and factory list. Also check: http://en.opensuse.org/Bugs:Most_Annoying_Bugs_10.3_dev

Is it normal with 10.3 Beta 2 for the little blue ICON in the bottom right to always say: " Unable to check whether updates are available" ?
When I boot my machine the OpenSUSE updater has a window that says downloading Updating This window is not movable and obscures other ICONS. When it finishes the Blue icon has a big question mark that says: "Unable to check whether upgrades are available". Is this expected behavior for the beta? Also, if I click on: "Online Update" in YaST I get back: "No Active Update Source is available". Perhaps this is because it is beta as well as I think the two are related.. By the way, on my Pentium III 1-GHZ machine by turning off Kerry / Beagle he software updater became a lot more responsive. Prior to that I was blaming the updater for being way to slow. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
