Installing Software: upgrades not showing up [O]

English Applications
1

When I go to Install Software in the Computer menu (openSUSE 11 [Gnome])
nothing appears under the Upgrades tab. However, if I go to the
Installed tab and search for some software that I know can be upgraded
(ex. OpenOffice.org), it shows that it can be upgraded. So why isn’t
software that can be upgraded appearing under the Upgrades tab? I have
the OpenOffice.org repository’s priority set to 40 and the main
repository’s priorities set to 30. Somebody on the IRC channel told me
that repositories with a higher priority are looked at first, is this
true?

Hi
Try it from the CLI then (gnome-terminal/konsole);


sudo zypper ref
sudo zypper lu
sudo zypper up

The first command refreshes the repositories, the second lists any
updates, the third will apply the updates.

tried that… :\

Thanks for the help guys. I figured out the problem.
The guy on the IRC channel told me wrong, lower # = higher priority,
not the other way around.
