I have been asked quite often how I update my system and how I can do it so easily.
Basically, I use sudo and an alias in my ~/.bashrc to achieve a system update by just issuing just one command.
For zypper:
Edit your ~/.bashrc to include this line:
alias pcupdate=’sudo /usr/bin/zypper -n up –type=package’
Edit your /etc/sudoers files this way:
- Open a konsole (alt+f2 –> konsole (in KDE))
- su
- visudo
- Include the line:
your_username ALL = (%root) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/zypper -n up –type=package
- Your /etc/sudoers should look similar to the example provided below.
- done
For smart:
Edit your ~/.bashrc to include this line:
alias pcupdate=’sudo smart upgrade –update -y’
Edit your /etc/sudoers files this way:
- Open a konsole (alt+f2 –> konsole (in KDE))
- su
- visudo
- Include the line:
your_username ALL = (%root) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/smart upgrade –update -y
- Your /etc/sudoers should look similar to the example provided below.
- done
From now on, you should be able to update the entire system to the newest available packages (not just the security updates) without using a password and with just one command. Note that you can also edit the /etc/sudoers file using yast.
This is what /etc/sudoers should look like: Read the rest of this entry »
