"YOU" says "could not write server list to disk"

Huston, YOU has a problem.

Hello. I use SuSE 9.0.

Every time I run the SuSE update agent ("YOU") , it thinks for a while then says "Error! could not write server list to disk".

I'm logged on as root and the problem continues.

I've no idea what to do.

Might sound silly but hemm disk or mount full ? As i said prolly silly but do a df command use the --help flag for more options .I'm not sure where it would store the 'list' tho sorry . If you r running X might want to try the ctrl - alt - F10 option to see output .

Thumbs up
Hey jents!

I came across the same prob and found a workaround.

go to: /etc/sysconfig/onlineupdate

and change the parameter for YAST2_LOADFTPSERVER="yes" to "no".

YOU doesn't look for the servers and just go to the default one. it works, highly unsatisfactory - but works!

Have lots of fun!

Itamar
