No. There are a lot of other situations: - you better not put your notebook in your bag while HDD is spinning madly - to be environmentally friendly, I turn off elecricity complettly in my computer room, when I'm not working there -> I have to stay there until all computers are shut down, and then pull the plug.

[opensuse] Problems with smart and channel update
Hi, I use two SuSE 10.0 machines with identical repository config on both machines (means: same channels, same servers but different proxies). One is located here in the company and the other one at home. The machine here often does not (seems not to do!) read the channel lists from the server AND doesn't give an error message for that. e.g. this morning: (sorry for the long lines) a) good machine prints after a "smart update" --- cut here --- Fetching information for ''security' rpm-repository on:http://ftp4.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/apt'... -> http://ftp4.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/apt/SuSE/10.0-i386/base/pkglist.secur ity.bz2 -> http://ftp4.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/apt/SuSE/10.0-i386/base/release.secur ity release.security # [ 68%] pkglist.security.bz2 # [ 70%] Fetching information for ''kde' rpm-repository on:http://ftp4.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/apt'... -> http://ftp4.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/apt/SuSE/10.0-i386/base/release.kde release.kde # [ 71%] -> http://ftp4.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/apt/SuSE/10.0-i386/base/pkglist.kde.b z2 pkglist.kde.bz2 # [ 73%] Updating cache... # [100%] Channels have 54 new packages. Saving cache... --- cut here --- b) second machine prints: --- cut here --- Fetching information for ''kde3-stable' rpm-repository on:http://ftp4.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/apt'... Fetching information for ''java' rpm-repository on:http://ftp4.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/apt'... Fetching information for ''gnome' rpm-repository on:http://ftp4.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/apt'...

Updating cache... # [100%] Channels have no new packages. Saving cache... --- cut here --- Both machines had a "smart update" yesterday morning at the same time, so they should have found the same new packages. So why can this machine not resolve the channels lists from the server? When I start an "apt update" on the same machine, it reads all repository metadata fine and has no problem in finding new packages.(Identical repository config for apt and smart) Another idea: Is there the possibility to do something like a debug during a "smart update"? I have to use the companies proxy here and maybe smart cannot work with this proxy? Any Ideas? (This behavior makes me use apt on my machines because I can not trust smart; but smart shall be the apt replacement in 10.1 AFAIK.) confused Andreas - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[opensuse] Preload delays shutting down
Hi I am puzzled as to what is going on with preload during a system shutdown. A lot of time passes with messages announcing that preload is "laying out" various applications. This is irritating. Waiting a long time for a computer to shut down is more frustrating than waiting for it to start up. I am curious to know what is going on during this phase. I would especially like to know if there is any way to bypass this step in the shutdown process without breaking preloading entirely?
