[opensuse-factory] new kernel install takes very long
With the warning that next update will be really big I have in the meantime updated Packman and the kernel from the kernel stable. Having had a problem with a lengthy kernel update I measured the time it takes for the finishing of the kernel install. After 47 minutes it suddenly showed the halfway results and after a total of 65 minutes it showed that the installation was finished. Where could I start looking why it takes more than an hour for the installation? After dowloading a total of 3 files the following story enrolls: Checking for file conflicts: .........................................................................................................................................

I have a 32 bit machine with 500MB of ram and a pentium 4, and it doesn't take that long to update the kernel by far. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)

It is conceivable that the xz compression is taking a lot of time which should be mitigatable by using /etc/dracut.conf.d/99-local.conf: compress=gzip -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Open a terminal (xterm, konsole, whatever), run top in in it, then run the update. The idea is to find out what is it doing while it doesn't print anything in those 47 minutes. I would suspect grub probe of other systems, because that takes a long time in my system. It even probed extended partitions trying to see if they can be mounted with all known filesystems. Try looking at zypper logs. If that doesn't show anything, you would have to strace the process and its children... -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)

Much of that 47 minutes could have been network download time. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
