Generally I try to run a pretty thorough search before asking questions, but perhaps I'm not searching the right keywords. Here's my problem:
When I'm in Yast/Software Management and select a package to install I will sometimes get a window that says a requirement is unavailable. I am given the option "The Following Actions Will Be Done" (radio button), which seems to basically get the required packages from a different repo. When I click "OK - Try Again" Yast hangs - no crash specifically, it simply continues to display the waiting cursor animation when in focus or the window goes blank. Other applications seem unaffected and KDE does not crash. If anyone has run into this, or can link a thread where it has been previously resolved please let me know. Thanks. My System is openSUSE 11.1 AMD64 running KDE 4 (with Gnome also installed) - any other information needed please let me know and I will provide it. |

Seriously this is ridiculous! keep #'s 4,5,8,9,12 remove all the rest (unless you are absolutely sure you need it) and add this Index of /repositories/KDE:/42/openSUSE_11.1 to replace the factory kde4 you have set all repo's to 99 priority except oss, non-oss set those to 120. Then go to software management, filter by repo and select 'System' From the packages menu, select update all in this list unconditionally. You may have a load of conflicts to work around

I > was to quick to set things up the idiots' way and I should know better > ![]() of course, it is unusual to be born all-knowing like me :-) since all potential openSUSE users are not, i guess there ought to be a way to keep new folks from hurting themselves with too many repos...there are, of course plenty of hints HIDDEN in the posts of this forum, and other places....but, the fact is that most new folks coming from elsewhere won't know the NEED to look up which repos are recommended for daily use [i mean, really! most Redmond software is SO choice restrictive that most folk's won't kill their system accidentally, just trying to keep it updated, right?]....so, i GUESS one way help protect "our young" would be to beef-up the "help info" in the left pane of (for example) in YaST > Community Repositories.. imo, that would be a GREAT place to put some REAL HELP...like: "For daily, beginning operations only these four repositories are needed: blah blah blah....Others should not be activated until after a thorough review of their need and consequences of there use. . . More information is available at <link address>" [of course, it might need to be in BOLD red type, and flashing....but, that is a different rant..] -- natural_pilot |
