The very first thing to do is to update to rhn-applet-2.1.7 and see if the problem still exists. Daniel check at http://people.redhat.com/veillard/testing/FC1/i386/rhn-applet/ Daniel Just upgraded to rhn-applet-2.1.7-1 from the URL above and no luck. The same behaviour is present: no update detected. gkrellm-2.1.24-1.fr is not available anymore. I cannot reproduce the problem. Daniel I have that gkrellm version on my local yum cache. I have made it available (for the time being) at http://ltswww.epfl.ch/~dsanta/tmp/gkrellm-2.1.24-1.fr.i386.rpm Created attachment 97172 [details]
screenshot of the applet showing the upgrade.
Works for me, see the screenshot ! Something else is going on, but I can't reproduce your problem... Daniel Problem found! I had a non functioning http proxy on my rhn-applet config file, so no http connection was being made. But the check-box in the config dialog for the proxy was not enabled checked! So this shows 2 problems with rhn-applet 1) If the http proxy is not function and there are no known updates, no error messsage is provided to the user, the icon stays blue with the check sign. Therefore the user thinks all is well and will not be aware of any updates 2) The config dialog of rhn-applet never shows the check-box for the proxy as checked, once a proxy has been configured. However, the proxy is being used. To reproduce this last problem do: 1. Clean all rhn-applet config: rm -rf ~/.rhn-applet* 2. start rhn-applet and open the configuration dialog 3. enter a proxy server and check the enable box 4. exit rhn-applet 5. start rhn-applet again and open the configuration dialog result: the proxy server address is shown grayed out and the enable box is unchecked, however the proxy server is enabled! okay, reopenned, Daniel *** Bug 107315 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** rhn-applet is not being actively maintained or updated. Since rhn-applet is not present in FC5, being deprecated, if this bug is not yet fixed, it is extremely unlikely to. |
