OpenSUSE :: YaST Keeps Downloading Repodata
Nov 18, 2010
How do I stop YaST from downloading the repodata every time I open the software manager?Even if I have opened it 5 minutes before, YaST still downloads the repomd.xml again.This is also a real pain if I am offline and trying to install an rpm, because I have to wait for it to realise that it can't access the data before it allows me to skip the auto-refresh.By the time that happens I could have installed the software already if I was using a debian or windows based system.

I just tried to install virtual box by downloading the RPM from their website running it with yast. It said install succesful but I checked the install log and this is the result that I got. The program will not start. I want to run opensuse as my host and install Windows XP to run on top of it for my wife.
My software is System Atom 2GB of ram ION
Linux 2.6.34.7-0.4-desktop x86_64
openSUSE 11.3 (x86_64)
4.5.2 (KDE 4.5.2) "release 10"
NVIDIA 260.19.12
[Code]...
I did try to run sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup it failed I than ran vim /var/log/vbox-install.log and this information was in the file /usr/share/virtualbox/src/vboxhost/vboxdrv/build_in_tmp: line 55: make: command not found

In my YaST Network Settings (11.3), I see an entry labelled "Unknown Network Device" how to remove the confusion? The Overview tab also correctly lists my three known network devices (listed below), as does the Hardware Information utility. This is the output of lspci, and as far as I can tell, is accurate and complete. So what has YaST seen that it can't identify?
Code:
00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation 82845 845 [Brookdale] Chipset Host Bridge (rev 11)
00:01.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82845 845 [Brookdale] Chipset AGP Bridge (rev 11)
00:1d.0 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) USB UHCI Controller #1 (rev 01)
00:1d.1 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) USB UHCI [Code].....

All of the 5.4 mirrors I've checked out have new packages in the updates repo added on 10/26 and 10/27, for both i386 and x86_64, but the repodata files haven't been updated since 10/19 so yum and reposync don't see them. how long this should usually take to update?

What does the red text in Yast mean? I installed a printer driver (Gutenprint 5.2.4) from here: software.opensuse.org: Download openSUSE 11.2) and when I view the installed packages in Yast, it shows up in red text. Why? (btw, that newer Gutenprint has the driver for my new Epson Artisan printer as well as my Samsung laser printer).

I have been using YaST to install software. It has been working probably. But yesterday when I want to use it again. I can goto that SUI (blue screen) but I just can't go into the software management. and then I try the other options. None of them can't be used.

Using OpenSuse 11.2 RC2. After playing around to install the nvidia driver, Yast lost its beautiful initial colours (light blue, as the rest of the kde desktop) and became a bit uglier (dark blue, more rudimentary, etc; I think the default "unbranded KDE"'s colour).I have the KDE theme set either for the regular user and for root. I have also installed the packages yast2-theme-openSUSE and yast2-theme-openSUSE-Oxygen installed but, how shall I choose one of them?Some webs say that there is an option in Yast under "miscellaneous" to choose Yast's theme, but I do not have it.

I've installed OpenSUSE 11.2 and I'm pretty happy with over all system, the only issue that I had is with Yast, so far. It gives me alert for security patches but no alert for Software update. When I did "zypper up" as superuser I saw that there are updates available for more that 14 applications but yast didn't show me.
if there is any setting for it or should I file it as a bug.

From a fresh install of OpenSuse 11.2 64 bit the default is KDE. But if you want to install both KDE and Gnome on the same machine. I got to Yast --> Patterns --> And tick Gnome Desktop Environment and Gnome Base System.
That inturn pops up with a dependency issue. That states the following:
#### YaST2 conflicts list - generated 2010-02-24 13:18:37 ####
pattern:gnome-11.2-20.22.1.x86_64 requires patterns-openSUSE-gnome, but this requirement cannot be provided
uninstallable providers: patterns-openSUSE-gnome-11.3-1.1.1.i586[http-download.opensuse.org-ae9db630]
patterns-openSUSE-gnome-11.3-1.1.1.x86_64[http-download.opensuse.org-ae9db630]

patterns-openSUSE-gnome-11.2-20.22.1.i586[repo-oss]
patterns-openSUSE-gnome-11.2-20.22.1.x86_64[repo-oss]
[ ] do not install pattern:gnome-11.2-20.22.1.x86_64
[ ] break gnome by ignoring some of its dependencies
[x] deinstallation of patterns-openSUSE-kde4_pure-11.3-1.1.1.x86_64
#### YaST2 conflicts list END ###
So my question is what exactly does removing and applying the Gnome pattern do. Because it seems to change alot more than just branding. It changes the default environment to GTK. How would go about reverting the pattern back to KDE after the install of all the correct Gnome Dependencies.

When I start Yast it hangs at "downloading opensuse(...)repdata.xml". the only way to bring up the main window is to skip autorefresh
It seems like it cannot connect to any reporitories at all. When you try to install software from within Yast it is, once again, unable to download anything.

Turned on my PC as soon as I got home & found that Factory repo had a whole bunch of updates, so I selected to 'switch system packages' & clicked accept.
Whatever I tried to download & install displays an error message
Have even deleted the factory repo & re-added, to ensure it wasn't a change of url causing problems.
I'm running 11.2 64bit KDE 4.4.3

I can get the installation history via the command line:
Code:
rpm -qa --last | less
Is it not possible to get it from YaST in the same way as you can in Synaptic? It would not only be nice to see a basic list, but also what has been pulled in as dependencies and have it grouped by 'installation sets'. Too much to ask?

how to import Yast to Debian. I need to know the idea of creating Yast. That is, Yast is designed so that each function has its own konfiguratsioony file whose name is invoked in the code when working with this function. And every function has a number of konfiguratsioonyh files?

I have opensuse 11.4 with gnome and kde, being kde the default wm. I have noticed that the interface of software management in yast in gnome is different from that in kde. There are several differences in interface and behavior but the most noticeable are the ones bellow. In gnome, in the bottom left corner appears a list of the number of all available, not installed, installed and upgradable applications. This is very practical because when I want to update applications all I need to do is to click on list of upgradable apps and all of them appear filtered on the right side allowing me to choose wich to upgrade. In kde no matter what view mode I choose that list never appears and this becomes very complicated since kpackagekit is very, very slow to build the list of apps to update. Furthermore, in gnome when I choose packages to install bellow the lists appears a link to view changes. Clicking there displays a list of all apps that are to be installed, the size of disk space that will be used and the size of files to download. On the other hand in kde all I can do is to click accept and everything starts to be installed without advice. Since I have a slow internet connection it takes much time to wait to kpackagekit to load the list of softwares. And I need to know the size of a download before engaging in it, because it may delay very much depending on its size. Currently I use kde as default and do everything in it almost all the time, but when I have to do some install I stop every activity in kde logout and login in gnome to do it. Sometimes it's boring but I have lived with this. However I have tried to get used to kde for all my activities because in next versions probably gnome will come with many changes. Indeed, since I like traditional menu and panel config I don't think I'll be able to tolerate gnome shell and don't know for how long gnome 2 will exist and be supported. So is there a way to launch yast software management in kde but with gnome interface or at last with the functions of gnome interface?

Sound is not working. Clean install new home. Fully patched and multi-media stuff installed. It works in test in yast but nothing else has sound. There is a loud click when KDE starts. Also there is a delay before I can do anything. Tried changing the backends no luck. Also tried disable of phonon in Yast but have nor tried to remove it yet. Perhaps I should.

I don't know why this is happening, however, all of a sudden I am unable to install any packages (from OpenSUSE repos of course) using either Zypper from the CLI or YaST2. Every time I try and install anything, or perfom a zypper dup, I am greeted with the below error message.
Code:

I'm no stranger to OpenSUSE's package manager, however I have yet to come across this error before.

I just installed opensuse, and I really like it! I think I may be finally ready to switch from windows to linux 100%, despite years (literally) of wanting to.
Unfortunately, I can't seem to find any good software. I've enabled the packman repositories, or at least I think I have (I used the graphical tool, not the command line). But when I do a search for some programs, nothing comes up. Google chrome didn't even come up until I installed a repository special just for it.
No picasa, no nestopia, and formerly no chrome nor chromium. Is the software selection through packman just not as varied as ubuntu (which I barely played with before getting kernel panics out the whazoo)?
Also, I finally have a distribution where it isn't difficult to install proprietary ati drivers! I loved arch, but it was a nightmare; even if you did manage to install the drivers, you had to do a whole bunch of stuff every single time the kernel was upgraded... and it was rolling release! (Which I love, but somewhere I read that I shouldn't use the opensuse rolling distro version because of ati drivers, but I never really understood why.) However, ati catalyst didn't get installed. Is it a separate package?
Finally, and this is simply a tack-on for completeness, my wireless card doesn't work, and I followed the forums advice and it still failed, but I'm not worried because I'm ditching the broadcom and buying one better suited for linux. In the meantime, forwarding my wireless from my netbook to my desktop over an ethernet cable works miracles! I wish I had thought of this sooner; it would have saved me so much time lugging that desktop and monitor to the room with the router!
Hi all, and I have a feeling I'll be around here for awhile!
