Are you trying to do it the hard way, uploading messages to susepaste.org with a web browser? Try instead /usr/bin/susepaste /var/log/messages man susepaste -- Evolution as taught in public schools is religion, not science. Team OS/2 ** Reg. Linux User #211409 ** a11y rocks!

man susepaste Thanks for the tip. I had no idea that this script existed, maybe it could be advertised on https://paste.opensuse.org directly?

Pasting via website works now on another machine, so perhaps it was an issue on my end.

While trying to dup to Tumbleweed 20190202, the installation process suddenly got stuck at trying to install 'btrfsmaintenance' at 70%. This is the last output in /var/log/zypper.log from 40 minutes ago, no updates since then:

I can *still* ssh into the machine, there is basically no system load, also no btrfs scrub/cleanup maintenance stuff running which was my first idea. What should I do in this situation? Is there a way to find out what went wrong? kill the zypper dup process, manually remove btrfsmaintenance, the restart

* Maximilian Trummer [02-05-19 13:27]: the dup process. after it completes do: zypper -v in btrfsmaintenance Today I tried to 'zypper dup' again (the meanwhile released 20190205) and it worked flawlessly, so that's it I guess.

Now of course I'm glad that snapper saved me there, but I still don't know why a package would just fail installing and halt the entire 'zypper dup' process...
