Here is a solution for the problem Jonas raises.
I had the same problem until last night, when I learned two things from helpful web-users:- it is safe to completely empty the directory /var/lib/smart/channels, because the smart program will re-generate all the files kept there when you run it, and
- problems with one of the files in there can explain the problem you are having.
Here's what I did next. After these steps, smart worked fine.
Code:
(i)** su
(ii)**cd /var/lib/smart/channels
(iii) ls
(iv)**rm -i *
(v)** exit
You could omit step (iii) and the option "-i" in line (iv), but they provide redundant error-proofing -- which I have learned to love through hard experience.
My web-search took a long time; later I found a terse version of the same information on a thread in these forums that starts at http://www.suseforums.net/index.php?showtopic=24589.
The gui interface on smart is nice enough, but I now prefer the shell interface. It's crude ascii on the console, but to me it seems just a little quicker.
Hope this helps, Philip

It sure did! Thank you very much!
I also find the non gui mode a bit snappier, but as for now i use both..
