[opensuse-factory] Bad experience with 10.3
Hi, I finally sit down to upgrade my 10.2 system to 10.3. I didn't have time to go and try the alpha/beta versions, but jumped directly to the GM. Well, the process took little bit more than 2 hours, but I become very upset after the first hour as my system became completely useless. I spent almost an hour to manually bring to a state where I can boot it. :( To make the story short here: upgrade of two packages failed (libzypp and pango) in the post-install phase, complaining about missing libraries. I didn't take a look to pango, but it turned out that libzypp fails because zypp-migrate-sources cannot find libssl.so.0.9.8 and libcrypto.so.0.9.8. But when I (manually) tried to install libopenssl0_9_8-0.9.8e-45, it said it is already installed. So I forced the installation of libopenssl0_9_8 and libzypp . Now at least yast can be started. Of course I got this errors during the upgrade process, but I couldn't do anything but either ignore the errors, hoping the install will still finish and can fix the problems after the reboot, or abort the install meaning that my system is for sure unusable. But this was not enough, installing the new kernel failed as well, because I got the error that there was an error creating the initrd (but the error dialog was EMPTY), and at this moment the installation aborted. I tried to reboot and select the menu item to repair a broken installation, but that gave me an error from the start that the installation failed. Tried this after I fixed the libzypp issue, got the same error. After I got this message I tried to run again the installation from the yast console mode (without rebooting), but I got the same error. I didn't try to reboot and start the installation over, I decided to fix the system somehow with the rescue option. And here I am, I fixed, but on reboot yast didn't came up as it usually does after a new install/upgrade, so I'm wonder how "finished" is my installation now... All this is described as bug #331254 with the yast logs. Andras -- Quanta Plus developer - http://quanta.kdewebdev.org K Desktop Environment - http://www.kde.org

I was just about to ask questions about upgrading from 10.2 x86_64 to 10.3. I haven't got past thinking whether to use zypper update or boot from CD and do online update. The other two x86_64 boxes that had been kept updated through Alpha, Beta and RC, no problems using "zypper update -t package". Interesting to see if there is a happy outcome from the bug report.

The result is that I fixed the system with the rescue option (chroot, manual rpm install, fix the software repository sources and other things). Now it seems to be stable, altough suspend2disk ceased to work (again) due to some changes in xorg.conf, but luckily after restroing my old xorg.conf it works. Probably there are also some other things that are not "standard" anymore on my system, but I can live with them now. ;) As soon as I run in bugs, I will report them.

I forgot about xorg.conf, backed it up now. scp'd across /etc/zypp. Perhaps later or tomorrow I shall go for the 10.2 to 10.3 upgrade via CD. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce ...

The deed is done! The upgrade from the DVD complained of package integrity problems after nearly 1000 packages had been installed. Rebooted and chose only the online repos, it all went without a hitch, including Online Update. Sound, Well done to the guys and gals working underground to make it happen, tell your bosses both a bonus and a salary rise are due. Thanks and Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce ...

I also have had a zypper upgrade problem. Now KDE totally fails do to missing libs. This is from fvwm2 and thunderbird because KDE 3.5.7. is missing about 20 lib.so.1s. So, I am trying Yast2>update and it is showing no resolvable dep. for yelp-#-i586. Updates now a days seem be problems. -- 73 de Donn Washburn 307 Savoy Street Email: " n5xwb@hal-pc.org " Sugar Land, TX 77478 LL# 1.281.242.3256 Ham Callsign N5XWB HAMs : " n5xwb@arrl.net " VoIP via Gizmo: bmw_87kbike / via Skype: n5xwbg BMW MOA #: 4146 - Ambassador " http://counter.li.org " #279316 Did you know?

I've also experienced problems while upgrading in the past, so I prefer clean install. I have separate /home partition so clean install is not such a problem for me.
Updates now a days seem be problems.
I'm not sure there is a distro out there that can be upgraded without an issue. Clean install is usually recommended method, no matter which distro you use. Cheers! -- Igor Jagec

What am I doing wrong? I haven't seen any of the problems reported. A friend has said he's keeping well clear of 10.3 and staying with 10.2 because of problems with Alphas and Betas. I have done upgrades, Alpha --> Beta --> RC --> GM on 2 x86_64 boxes, 10.2 --> 10.3-GM on one x86_64 box and fresh installs on 2 x86 boxes and apart from the odd unresolved dependencies which were resolved, they all work fine, online updates and all, right up to a few hours ago on this x86_64 box.
