Yesterday I have installed openSUSE 11 on my friend PC
But I have noticed that updater shows only two times and after updating it is not showing up
In “software installer” (in updates sections) there are few updates but update applet is not showing them so I have to check for updates manually :\
Try starting it with ‘opensuseupdater-kde’ from the CLI. You can right-click on the icon, and select ‘Configure Applet…’, then make sure ‘Automatically start updater on login’ is enabled. I assume its ‘opensuseupdater-gnome’ for that other DE.
I don’t want to install any qt program…
It worked before… what happend?
You wern’t asked to. I just told you how to restart it. If using Gnome, try ‘opensuseupdater-gnome’. Configure as before.
bash: opensuseupdater-gnome: command not found
bash: opensuseupdater-kde: command not found
I try as normal and super user…
It’s because it is new installation, 4 days ago when I install suse after clean install updater shows me 1 update (zypper), but after clean install yesterday it has installed 6-7 updates :\
I experienced this myself, the updater applet ‘went away’. Seems there was
an update and it was inadvertently uninstalled.
To fix:
(as root, in a terminal)
zypper install kde4-opensuse-updater
Yes, it SAYS ‘kde4’… it won’t hurt you.
Once that finishes, close that terminal.
In a terminal, as YOUR user… type:
opensuseupdater-kde
which will restart the applet. Check the config options and make sure the
‘start this applet automatically’ is checked.
You shouldn’t have an issue after this.

(Yes, he could have typed ‘exit’… but if he forgot, he’d start the app as
root and it wouldn’t work properly NEXT time… remember, this person is not
as experienced as some.)

ok, I have do this but nothing happens when I click on the kde4 updater icon (I have installed oxygen icons) there’s just a green icon and nothing more :
Is there any alternative openSUSE updater?

Based on your previous answers, I get the feeling you didn’t follow the
instructions, since unless you got an error during those instructions, your
updater would be working.
My apologies, but I cannot help you if you won’t try.

I did but I decided to check for updates manually

Good Idea. Automatic wholesale updates can cause problems for many users.

Playing devil’s advocate here, but you could look at the smart package manager. It has a system tray utility for KDE:
smart
smart-gui
smart-ksmarttray
For most users zypper, yast online update and yast software manager more than suffice.
No… I don’t like SMART
I hope that updater will be fixed or completely changed in 11.1

I’ll just take that and store it in my quotes notes… That’s a GOOD one,
especially out of context.
