Software Management closes after install - openSUSE 11.4 - KDE

[James Knott]

In 11.0, when a package was installed via Software Management, it
remained open prompting for another package to open. However, with
11.4, Software Management closes immediately, requiring it to be
restarted, scanning and all, before another package can be installed.
This is an irritating waste of time, when installing multiple packages.
Is it possible to restore the previous behaviour?

tnx jk

Near bottom of /etc/sysconfig/yast2:

PKGMGR_ACTION_AT_EXIT=

is set to "close" by default, not what you want. Restart and summary are
alternate options.

Go to YaST Control Center> System> /etc/sysconfig Editor
Open System> YaST2> GUI> PKGMGR_ACTION_AT_EXIT
Set to "restart"
Click OK

That's much better.
tnx

Ah yes, Sysconfig, the crutch of lazy programmers.
