opensuse 11.0 update fails

Hello, so my problem is quite simple - I just can’t update my suse. I see that box in “Panel”, which tells that I could take 14 updates, and everytime when I press “Install” and enter my root password, looks like that updater is running,but… after few seconds it stops. That icon in “Panel” shows me again - new software for your system is available… 14 updates :slight_smile:
I hope that problem is explained clearly enough, thanks in advance :slight_smile:

Yes, your explanation was clear. This condition has happened to me as well. I
cleared it by starting YaST and selecting “Software Update” there. One the
updates were downloaed, then the automatic updater was fine.

Looks like I’m not the only one having problem with updater applet.
Just like lwfinger says, disable the applet and run the system update using YaST -> Software -> Online Updates.
