SilverSurfer60 Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 I thought it was about time I asked about this little problem I have that certain apps and their dependencies are not listed when I do a search in MCC, fully updated via easy urpmi, yet I can still install them from the cli. It came to my attention yesterday when I wanted to re-install mysql. Went to mcc to install it with the associated libs and it wasn't listed :unsure: so I refreshed all the sources from easy urpmi and it still didn't come up. Shucks I thought no more mysql, so I tried the cli, as in 'urpmi mysql', and lo and behold I got the lot. Have I missed something along the way, anybody?

neddie Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 Have you made sure the dropdown in the top-left of the Add Software tool is set to "All" ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dude67 Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 Sorry, if this is obvious, but did you make sure that you spelled it correctly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neddie Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 Neddie gets the prize.Yay, prize! :D I got caught out with that too, I'm sure by default it used be "All", but when I tried 2008.1 One the default was "Packages with GUI" and I got very confused...

adamw Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 It's new for 2008 Spring. Based on the feedback so far I might suggest changing it for 2009... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theYinYeti Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 IMO, wait a bit. Old users have to get used to it; it'll take time. New users may actually feel better with just a list of GUI apps. Yves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neddie Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 I think this will be catching lots of people out for some time to come. For me it's just not obvious that it's not showing you everything. If it's to be restricted by default then it should be obvious that it's restricted. What confused me even more was that the java runtime "IcedTea" was listed (it has a GUI?) but Sun's java runtime wasn't listed. That's when I deleted my repository listings and set up new ones, thinking that my repository was broken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
{BBI}Nexus{BBI} Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 It's new for 2008 Spring. Based on the feedback so far I might suggest changing it for 2009...Yes please change it back. It makes more sense to view all available packages by default. If the view needs restricting then, I'll do it. What confused me even more was that the java runtime "IcedTea" was listed (it has a GUI?) but Sun's java runtime wasn't listed. That's when I deleted my repository listings and set up new ones, thinking that my repository was broken.Same here, grrrrrrrrrrrr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg2 Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 I think this will be catching lots of people out for some time to come. One of the very first things I install is nano, that's how I found it. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverSurfer60 Posted April 25, 2008 Author Share Posted April 25, 2008 Nice to see I'm not the only plonker then. :P Neddie your prize was going to be a mars bar, but, after I had scraped the muck off when it fell in the pig pen I found the horse had chewed too much off the end. Ah well it's the thought that counts. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
