From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.76 [en] (Windows NT 5.0; U) Description of problem: Up2date gives the response: No interactive mode available followed by the usage of the up2date command The up2date gui fails. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Log on using ssh as a user and enter up2date 2. GUI window appears requesting root password (so graphics works OK) - enter root password 3. password accepted, error messages appear Actual Results: I get the following error messages on the console. Xlib: extension "RENDER" missing on display "localhost:10.0". No interactive mode available ... up2date usage info ... Expected Results: Should have got the up2date gui window. up2date -u (non-interactive mode) works OK. Additional info: The 'RENDER' message actually appears when the GUI window requesting the root password appears - so I dont' think it's the problem... I've passed this by both the rhn and the redhat support folk - they suggested I try bugzilla... (though I'm not positive this is a bug...) The video card on this PC is not supported by redhat, so local graphics is not available. I guess the question is what is up2date checking to see if interactive mode is available? Thanks...
can you verify that the "up2date-gnome" package is installed?
Yes - that's it -> thanks... Robyn
