ksmarttray and updates

[Randy Smith]

Hi,

I'm using Smart with opensuse 10.1.  Two issues--

(1) When using the command line interface, "smart config show xxxx" 
never displays any information for any option-- I simply get a blank 
line back.  Is this a bug or am I doing something incorrect.

(2) When running ksmarttray as non-root, if I right-click on the icon 
and select "check" or if I hover over the icon, ksmarttray never reports 
that updates are available.  If I click on the icon, then I am asked for 
the root password and the cache is loaded, but again there are no updates.

On the flip side, if I log in as root and click on ksmarttray, it will 
check the repositories and tell me that updates are available.

So, the issue seems to be that sync with repositories does not happen in 
non-root mode.  Is this the normal behavior for Smart or can I change it 
somehow?



Thanks.
