11.0b3 Patterns Bug Fixed

Bug: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=390139

Fix:
Go to:http://download.opensuse.org/reposit...nSUSE_Factory/
Set that up as a yast-source
then in Yast > Software Manager
select that repo
update all the packages in "Blue"

logout/login
"Patterns" will now work

11.0 just got a whole lot better

So when you say "Set that up as a yast-source" do you mean add the url http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/...enSUSE_Factory/ as a software repository?

Ahhhh.. good relief Thank you Snakedriver. That one was bugging me & like they say, you never know what you have until it's gone. Shows you how much people use the feature!

Cheers,

This way:

Bring up the link above in a new tab

Yast > Software Repositories > Add
Select "http"

Name: ZYPP
Cut & past from the link
Server Name: download.opensuse.org
Directory on Server: repositories/zypp:/svn/openSUSE_Factory/
Accept

It will go thru the process of updating the metadata & keys; accept
(while you are there, turn on the other repos OSS, etc., add Packman, other 11.0 repos, etc., from http://en.opensuse.org/YaST_package_repository)

when its done: select "Software Manager"
in the filter, select "repositories" > then ZYPP
in the right window, right click on any "blue" package > "All in this list > Update if newer version available
Accept

Let it do its thing, the last of which will be "SuSEconfig"
Close out of everything
logout/login

Now go back to Yast > S/W Mngt > filter > repos > patterns
You should have neat icons for each package area

Me, I turn on quite a bit starting with C/C++, Intergated Development, kernel development, Rpm Build. Qt, & web devel, etc. Then I know I have all the packages needed for compiling without having to go thru the list & find them one-by-one. (Also, I turn on 32-bit envionment & console tools, etc., to have those handy). I usually have a 5.5 GB install from scratch.

Have fun

Hey Snakedriver,
Did your recomendation and now Yast is gone. Not in to be found. How do I get it back?
Thanks,

I typed yast in terminal ,,,,nothing.

I did the updates..and now Yast doesn't exist at all. I can't find it anywhere.

Well, factory has new updates ready, so would recommend you update from there.

there seems to be an issue with the new kernel, sou would update all except for the kernel packages (the kernel itself, source files and xen related kernels).

I'm running the update now myself, if it hoses I'll report back...

I don't think there were any Yast packages in the Zypp repo; don't have any idea why you had problems; worked 100% for me.

You can try the "repair" function on the install DVD; do the file check part. If something is missing or doesn't satisfy dependencies, it will fix them. Takes a while though. It may be faster to do a clean install.

You can also try booting to runlevel 3 (type "3" at the bootsplash); login as root & then type "yast". With that Yast, you need to navigate with the arrow & tab keys. Select CD/DVD as the repro and select the early versions of Yast & go from there, reboot.

Good luck...
