Description Petr Baudis 2007-09-11 12:42:06 UTC

If you click on opensuse-updater-kde when having no network, you get huge blob of error messages all mixed together, instead of clean error message that network is just offline.

Comment 1 Thomas Göttlicher 2007-09-11 14:23:58 UTC

Opensuseupdater is only able to know the network status when (k)networkmanager is used to control the network interface. When (k)networkmanager is used opensuseupdater does not check for updates until a network connection is established. In case networkmanager is not used opensuseupdater runs zypper and shows the error massages produced by zypper.
