    But all security patches are up to date, does that mean I am secure or do I also need to update games to be completely secure?

    If all your packages are up to date as you stated in an earlier post then I'm not sure what you need?

    All the packages except "games" are up to date, is it a security risk not updating the "games" packages?

    From what you posted previously you did not enable the games repo. Make sure you have the games repo enabled for the version you are running and then update your system.

    Please see this link: http://en.opensuse.org/Games

    Then after you update your system please have a look here http://en.opensuse.org/Package_management
    and here http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:System_upgrade
    good luck.

    No, I did enable the game repo, but it says something like "the server can't be found". But is updating the games vital to my system security?

    Can you reach this site? http://download.opensuse.org/reposit...openSUSE_12.1/

    It seems to me that the games repo is available. Please check your setup. As far as it being vital to your systems security that is a question you need to answer. Check out opensuse's security portal on their site http://en.opensuse.org/Portal:Security.

    Yes I can reach it, but the update manager can't. What should I do?

    And I really don't know about if I am less secure, can hackers exploit vulnerabilities in games? I also don't play network games on it.

    would you please do me the favor of posting the output zypper lr so I can see the repos you have setup?

    I am not going to be the one to tell you if you are secure or not with a misconfigured repo, sorry.
