Just installed the pruchased DVD version of 11.1. Install appeared to
have gone well. On page 53 of the included manual, it mentions an
update app, which appears as a green geeko head on one’s panel. Gnome
btw.
That didn’t happen for me and I’m having problems getting updates,
etc.
I have a call in to support, but so far no call back.
Q: how does one start the above updater app?
Q: might the fact of it not starting, mean I have other problems?

go to your menu (lizzard on the bottom left), click System > Desktop
Applet and then you can see “OpenSUSE Updater Applet”, click on that
and the updater should show up…
my GUESS is that nothing else is a problem…lots of folks have
accidentally killed the updater…
