Or, in YaST Software Repositories, assign a priority of 100 to packman, then again try Update if newer version available or Update unconditionally (veryify under the Installation Summarythat the updates are coming from Packman).
OUCH! Normally I run the command line - zypper - but this time I tried the GUI:
kdesu yast2
Its worked in the past - months back - but this time I get
kdesu(7223)/kdesu (kdelibs) KDESu::KDESuPrivate::KCookie::getXCookie: No X authentication info set for display ":0"
I'm not sure what to make of that. Where has my authentication cookie gone? Has there been some update to the libraries or PAM of the last moth or so that affects this?
Just launch yast from the KDE menues or yast from a shell. Your X server does not appear to be set up correctly.
I think you misunderstand me. That *is* the response I get when trying to start from a shell. Starting from the menu I get the KDESU password dialog then ... nothing ... presumably because Stderr doesn't go the GUI. :-/ If, instead of the KDESU from a terminal window I "su" instead" I get /home/anton # yast2 No protocol specified y2controlcenter: cannot connect to X server :0 whcih does make sense to me - the environment isn't passed though to the shell by "su". Trying to run Yast2 as root I get the Curses version. UGH! You say there's something wrong with my X setup. Well maybe so, but its not a result of any 'edits' I've done, though it may be a result of side-effects of upgrades carried out with the comand line "zypper up". -- "The top line is the value you give.
