OpenSUSE :: YAST2 Very Slow To Refresh Repos
Feb 8, 2010
When I start yast2 it seems to hang at around 50% (the lower progress bar) while refreshing the repositories. It can sit there for a minute before moving on. Once yast2 has started and I add / remove repos the refresh happens very quickly. It's only when starting that it gets stuck.
This is something that really only started after I upgraded to 11.2. In 11.1 the progress bar would move cross quickly and you could see the various repos flashing up above the progress bar. I didn't bother with it too much but it's starting to annoy me now. It also sometimes just hangs there permanently and I have to abort it.
I've tried unconditionally updating the yast stuff but it hasn't helped. My network connection is fine and I have now problems or speed issues with browsing the repo urls from a browser.

I get the following errors when I try to refresh my repos (also this keeps popping up on my Update Applet)
Cannot access installation media Index of /update/11.2
Failed to download ./repodata/886603b5c7e8f047b48851b7cb7668c5676ddcf0-deltainfo.xml.gz from Index of /update/11.2

I'm running Natty on an Nvidia 8200 chipset. I found how to change the grub/tty resolution here, but anything I run from tty takes about a full second to redraw the screen. I KNOW this is something simple, but I must be missing it.

I have been using Windows on my laptop, but recently switch to Fedora 14. However, there seems to be a screen refresh rate issue that i didn't encounter when using Windows. The symptom is that when I scroll down through the browser page, the content become gibberish and unreadable. I have to do a refresh to read that content.
I did some searching on the Internet and found that it may be able to fix by updating driver, but i have no idea what and how to do it. can someone suggest a solution? can i use yum?

I've got an annoying problem with refresh rates in everything to do with videos. Basically, anything that requires a quicker refresh than using a word processor. This includes flash movies on a website to playing an offline video. In website flash, the video tends to, well flash on occasion. The other sort of thing is pan lines or whatever they're called in videos like a simple .avi movie.
I currently have the nVidia 270.29 drivers installed for my GTS450 card, but this was happening with older versions. My monitor is a Samsung SyncMaster 943 which is detected. The resolution and refresh rates are sort of fixed on auto configuration. What I mean is, is that I can use the drop down menu to change the resolution to a manual option, and then it allows me to select a refresh rate, but only limited to 60 and 75Hz.
This setting will stay as is until I need reboot or restart Ubuntu. Even clicking on Save to X Configuration File is not a keeper. However, here's another problem. Doesn't matter which refresh rate is selected, I still get the above problems. The same resolution and refresh rate yields no problem under Win7 which I've dual-booted with.

My system is (and was) Slackware 13 64bit I had DFI LanParty NF4 with AMD Athlon64, 2GB (dual channel) of RAM and Gigabyte GeForce 250 1GB. Now I have Asus P6X58D Premium with Intel i7 960, 6GB (triple) of RAM and the same graphics card + 3 internal SATA hard disks (no partitions change). I replaced hardware and noticed a performance drop.
In text console it looks like slow screen refresh. Also visible during boot when next line of text appears with a delay. I can even see as midnight commander blue window unfolds from the top of the screen when I start it. Switching from text to X takes more time. File copying takes more time. I have Xp guest in VmWare Workstation. Windows runs noticeably faster. I have reinstalled Slackware and changed (in BIOS) default IDE mode for SATA to AHCI. Still slower then with previous hardware. Maybe I am too oversensitive now, but I think moving around in BIOS is not smooth either.

I have to wonder how much testing Opensuse has done with yast-dns-server package. After adding zones to the dns server - the system loses the ability to perform name resolutions. I can copy a named.conf file from a system that does work, except everytime the system is restart the named.conf file is rewritten trashing the updates done and again rendering the system to perform name resolutions.
Anyone have suggestions on how to get yast-dns-server from interferring with the configuration file? I tried just uninstalling the package, but then bind doesn't even start up on boot up.

the following message appears after I enter the root password.
/usr/lib/YaST2/bin/y2controlcenter: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/YaST2/bin/y2controlcenter: undefined symbol: _ZN9QListData11detach_growEPii
It doesn't launch from the root console, either. But, the text-based YaST works fine. I assume that something went wrong after my last system update. which package I need to downgrade, to get things working, again?

I'm using openSUSE 11.4 64bit (KDE). I enabled Index of /source/distribution/11.4/repo/oss repository through YaST2 but it is empty and I can't see any source rpm file in YaST2. I even delete that repository and add it again but still empty. I open the link in firefox and it's not empty or invalid link.
Code:
# zypper lr -d .....

Is there a way to know the size of a package in YaST2?I only have 50MB left in my root partition / (Btw, my /home is in a separate partition.) and I'm looking for a way to selectively delete package depending on it's size. Also, when we "remove" a package in YaST2, is it "completely" removed? or is there some residual rpm left? (of course /home/configs would be kept as it is an expected behavior).

11.4-KDE4.6.5 32bit install,,,perhaps it is the normal way now, but it was new to me: Opened Yast2 Partitioner module, and attempted to set up an extended partition on space unallocated of sdb. Went thru the steps to create and hit finish, immediately i get a kdesu authorization dialog and yast2 Partitioner disappears/crashes. entry in var/log/messages:
Aug 22 09:08:25 blkdragon polkitd(authority=local): Operator of unix-session:/org/freedesktopConsoleKit/Session3 FAILED to authenticate to gain authorization for action org.freedesktop.udisks.filesystem-mount-system-internal for system-bus-name::1.38 [kdeinit4: kded4 [kdeinit]] (owned by unix-user:blkdragon) so, does this mean I have to set up udisks/polkit rules for using the Partitioner? Yast2 was not considered in the default polkit rules for the install?

I've been trying for awhile to install the restricted formats, but when in the download & and install process, YaST2 pops up saying that such and such RPM has failed. I hit ignore, and it happens again and again to all the other packages, bar the odd few that work.

I'm using the yast2 gui interface to configure apache. I think its called yast2_http_server. I added one website with *:80 set as the virtualhost ID. When I go to add a second website with the same thing, it errors out with: The IP address is already configured on another virtual host: *:80/mydomain.com. I have another opensuse box with many websites in apache configured this way.

if I open Yast2 via SSH I see the garbage (code page related issue; similar to this). If I set some other than UTF-8 in PuTTY (KOI8-U, iso-8859 etc) Yast looks good, but then the same problem appears with Midnight Commander. How can I have Yast to use 'right' UTF-8 instead of any legacy code pages? Or how better deal with the situation?

I'm trying to get yast2 to default to the QT interface. I have used these instructions but each time I run yast from the KDE launcher it still uses the GTK interface. I have also checked that the Yast2-qt package is installed. And have rebooted after setting it up, but it has still not worked.
I know it can work as if I run in konsole /sbin/yast2 it uses the correct interface?

Whenever I tried to install LXDE using the 1-click install, YaST2 just freezes and doesn't respond and doesn't install anything. In fact, YaST2 always freezes whenever trying to install a program with the 1-click install.
So my question is, How do you abort YaST2 from installing because obviously the Abort button doesn't even work! And lastly, how can I install LXDE through the terminal as I always never have a problem installing something through the terminal.

I have a problem with the runlevel editor. It hangs at 28 per cent when initialising the runlevels. (Process: y2base runlevel qt). It used to work fine, probably until.I installed an update recommended by yast, including a new kernel. I did not immediately reboot after installing the new kernel but used the runlevel editor, which has hung since then.I've tried a reboot without success.Does anyone know what I could do to get this running again?

I have problems with running Yast2 under Gnome when I connect via VNC to the computer. The first 20-30 times it worked, but then it simply stopped to work. When switching to another VNC-Server (instead of :1 to :2) it works again for approx. 20-30 times. The behaviour is very much similar to the one described here:
Yast2 startet nicht unter VNC (SUSE 11.1/Gnome)
I use OpenSUSE 11.2 with german language set. The VNC server I use the one that is installed "by default".
When I try to run Yast2 from a terminal under Gnome as normal user I get the following output:
./yast2: Zeile 30: ./lib/YaST2/bin/yast2-funcs: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden
./yast2: Zeile 267: set_lang_from_sysconfig: Kommando nicht gefunden.
./yast2: Zeile 192: check_qt: Kommando nicht gefunden.
Qt GUI wanted but not found, failing back to ncurses.

11.3 ; looking to play with DNS; nothing of the kind is showing in Yast networking menus. Checked, and BIND shows as installed. Also, while I'm crying for help: cant see the windows box next to me; can ping it, and could browse to it with File Manager yesterday, but not working today ! Also; I tried KDE desktop (like new things) but it's driving me nuts (menus too small, I lose the choices as I move through submenus) and I'd like to go to Gnome ; how to ?

New to opensuse, trying to set up cache proxy and webfilter at a highschool. I have a new install of opensuse11.2 64bit installed as server. Installed squid3 stable. Trying to configure it in yast2. Now in yast2-->networkservices-->squid I get the message squid needs to be installed, continuing with Next I get message unresolved dependencies then another that squid3 conflicts with squid-2.7. Solutions offered are deinstall squid3 or don't install squid-2. I select the latter and get messages that yast might not function etc. Isn't squid3 the newer version of squid-2? Should yast2 recognize that?

About a week ago, I installed all the updates that popped up. I didn't actually look at what was being installed.
Since then, most of the items in the Yast2 Control centre won't run and just pop up an error box with the following (Firewall):
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::logic_error'
what(): basic_string::_S_construct NULL not valid
YaST got signal 6 at YCP file /usr/share/YaST2/clients/firewall.ycp:20
/sbin/yast2: line 440: 19436 Aborted $ybindir/y2base $module "$@" "$SELECTED_GUI" $Y2_GEOMETRY $Y2UI_ARGS
Xlib: extension "RANDR" missing on display "::ffff:127.0.0.1:11.0".

Whenever I try to install anything from YaST2, it decides to include a lot of extra stuff I don't need. It says it's just added dependencies, but I hardly think the Russian translation for the open office help files counts as a dependency for WINE. This also happens when I try to install the amarok mp3 codec.

This is my second day trying to learn opensuse. My lack of terminology makes it very hard to google for the answers. I need to do this:
opensuse:~ # yast2 install postgresql-server apache2 perl texlive perl-DBD-Pg libapr-util1-dbd-pgsql
I know about yast, however this looks like something that needs to ran from terminal.

Some time ago I did an automatic update and after that firefox, thunderbird and yast2 don't start. It's not that there is an error message or sth. Their icons just start jumping and after a while it stops without anything opened. I tried even removing the zilla directories and so on but it doesn't help. Of course I tried to simply reboot the machine and strangely enough, still does not work. Opera works though and I am ok with that, however yast2 not opening is more annoying. I do all the stuff that I want from the console, but of course that's not the point

I found zypper and YAST2 are comparatively slower than apt-get in my situation.Because when one application, e.g KDE 4.6,which has a lot of dependent appz,those depencies are installed after downloaded one by one.But in the case of apt-get ,they are installing and downloading simultaneously.No doubt that apt-get are faster than zypper.

I like to select one or two appz then install once a time.But each time when YAST finishes an installation it close without asking.If I want to install another appz in a few seconds,another refreshing repositories is needed.I have to wait a minute.It's quite annoying.Anyway to remain YAST open and let me close it manully?
