From: Paul Thompson on 1 Mar 2010 12:26 has gotten so flaky I would like to switch to Gnome. Going to YaST-Software Management and selecting the Gnome Desktop package, as soon as I press Accept it goes to the download screen and then YaST blows out. Any ideas on how I can get to Gnome? Thanks Paul
From: DenverD on 1 Mar 2010 12:59 try it with zypper.. or, you might try reinstalling yast by using zypper..that might fix the yast problem.. -- DenverD (Linux Counter 282315) via Thunderbird 2.0.0.23 (20090817), KDE 3.5.7 "release 72-11", openSUSE Linux 10.3, 2.6.22.19-0.4-default #1 SMP i686 athlon

If you do decide to use it go here http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/ find the repositories you want configure smart to use them and bobs your uncle. I find yast2 does not like rmp-md directories i could never get YaST2 to recognise them. thats my lack of knowledge there.

I don't have to do a web site search just put what i want in the smart package manager look up and job done. |
