Comment 1 Ladislav Slezák 2008-04-23 17:03:47 UTC
Steffan, it looks like a threading problem... It was originally reported as a part of bug #381255, there is a full y2log if you need it.
Comment 2 Rastislav Krupansky 2008-04-24 04:09:27 UTC
I can confirm, that commands 'yast2 inst_source', or 'yast2 repositories' don´t work from GUI -> konsole
But, if i switch directly to command line (switching Alt+F1 from GUI) commands work.
Robby, have you tried it directly from command line? Or did you try it from GUI(konsole,xterm etc...)?
Comment 3 Stefan Hundhammer 2008-04-24 09:52:32 UTC
I don't see any bug description I can understand, much less a reason why the problem (what exactly _is_ the problem?) would be a UI problem.

No, i tried just from konsole.
From commandline Alt+F2 works.
(i did not know this would only work from commandline, i thought all apps would work from konsole, when right command was inserted.
Has that changed?

The problem was, that repo mngr was gone, (i thought) but it was merged into software mngr, without notice, so i did not know.
These commands were handed over to me, as working, but they didn't.

Comment 5 Stefan Hundhammer 2008-04-24 14:52:34 UTC
Sure it should work from konsole. But you might have something in your shell environment that makes it stop working - some strange LD_LIBRARY_PATH or something like that. But that is not something we can reasonably expect to figure out here.


The part that there is no longer a separate icon for repository management was intentional AFAIK. I don't have any strong feelings whether or not that makes sense; but we clearly needed to reduce the number of icons in the control center's "Software" category. There were too many of them, and users had a hard time figuring out what each one was. Whether or not it was a good idea to remove the repository management, of all things, I don't know. But AFAICS that is being discussed in that other bug.


So if there is nothing left over from this issue, I think we can safely close it.

How can i check that?
I ask because for factory testing, i don't use personal scripts or settings, for reasons you might understand. (see no forest because of the trees..)


Anyway, we can expect much confusion about the merging i guess.
Better was to merge the two online update icons/config-modules, imo.
But that is the planning, so i've heard.

The oxigen icons are very unclear about their content, but they are default...
