So, while the functionality exists, it is next to useless. If you
disable the auto-refresh on all the repositories, there is no easy way to invoke manual refresh on all ( like it is done in smart). If you want just to see what's installed, and to delete something - it is ok. But if you want to check and upgrade if newer versions are available, you have to: 1. Go to Repositories 2. Manually select one by one each repo, and update 3. Close the Repositories module 4. Start the software management module to mark the upgrades and install.
This is sooo inconvenient.
Agreed. but there is a simple way to refresh all the repositories manually. From the command line, as root, type
zypper refresh
I agree 100% about the repository refresh issue - I had started another thread with exactly the same problem not so long ago and also got an advice to use command line update. For me that is ok and it really solved this issue, but there should also exist some UI way in Yast as soon it is intended to be so user friendly.
