Just to give you an exampe; SuSE10.2, plain vanilla, new install.
I've been trying for a couple of days to update the freeNX server to the
latest - which can be found at
software.opensuse.org/download/NX/openSUSE_10.2/
This is what you'll enter into YaST as a software repository. Only the darned
thing doesn't work, at all
Uh, yes, I'm actually to blame for this (at least to a part). There's
a bug in libzypp (already fixed AFAIK) that makes it return an
error if the repository doesn't provide the pubkey which was used
when signing the data. Due to a configuration change the build
service didn't copy the pubkey anymore, so there are some old
repositories out there which won't install with libzypp. All the
newer ones contain the pubkey again.
Sorry,
Michael.

Same error with and without the trailing / Just for your info :-) -- - Med venlig hilsen/Best regards Verner Kjærsgaard Ok, thank you to all. I gave up. I uninstalled all freeNx/NX. I downloaded and installed (from the 10.2) repo the NX latest rpm. I installed the freenx from the standard YaST source allready in 10.2 I now get: neubert:/usr/bin # rpm -qa | grep -i nx NX-1.5.0-82.1 FreeNX-0.5.0-25 I hope this solves my original problem with national characters not working in NX sessions from windooze clients. -- - Med venlig hilsen/Best regards Verner Kjærsgaard -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Op zaterdag 17 februari 2007 12:09, schreef Verner Kjærsgaard: Just to give you an exampe; SuSE10.2, plain vanilla, new install. I've been trying for a couple of days to update the freeNX server to the latest - which can be found at software.opensuse.org/download/NX/openSUSE_10.2/ This is what you'll enter into YaST as a software repository. Only the darned thing doesn't work, at all You'll get: Unknown Error: Downloading metadata failed (is YUM source?) or did not accept remote source. Aborting refresh A few very kind people on the NX-machine list has been very kind to help. All to no avail. Mind you, I did not change anything, anything at all in the SuSE/YaST installer system. It just doesn't work. I've tried at least 5 times at differenct time intervals. It doesn't work. I need to upgrade to this latest Freenx server, only I can't. No matter what I do. Any help? :-) 1 minute of work over here. I added the source NX/openSUSE_10.2 to my apt source.list file, executes apt update and did 'apt install NX'. Version 1.5.0-82 got installed ;) -- Richard Bos Without a home the journey is endless -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I thought apt was depricated Smart is a good/similar replacement for apt, but I do not believe that it is as good (for openSUSE, anyway) as apt. -- Patrick ShanahanRegistered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org@ http://counter.li.org HOG # US1244711 Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 OpenSUSE Linux http://en.opensuse.org/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
