[opensuse-factory] update to RC1 with add on source fails
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
Hi,
I have an 10.1 test partition that I intended to dedicate to testing the
update to 10.2 RC1, but it failed.
As add on source, I enter:
ftp://ftp.opensuse.org/pub/opensuse/distribution/SL-OSS-factory/inst-source/
I get the error (hand copied):

Yeah, you're right. That was too fast. I don't know how to bring the network up because I don't know why it's down. But once it's up and running, don't even think of adding ftp.opensuse.org. Reading the previous mail again, it seems to be lacking some information: Does this happen during installation? Or in the installed system?

I'm doing an update or upgrade from 10.1 to 10.2-RC1 - it is not a fresh install (the 10.1 is a test partition installed almost on purpose to test this procedure). This is important: it is not a fresh install. It is an update of an already installed system. I'm testing the 10.1 to 10.2 update. Many configuration questions are skipped by the installer program, becauseit only has to look at the installed old system to know them. Boot from 10.2-RC1 DVD, get to the question of what I want to do, select update system, click on add on sources, and a bit further on, it requests me to add those sources. Fails to add them, no network yet. This is before the window where the info of what it is going to install/update/whatever appears. I had to cancell the add on sources to get to the next window, but there is nothing about network there. So I aborted, and I await for instructions :-} - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

I hope this has been already fixed, we currently have an RC4. Anyway, you can run it again and start the network manually before you try to add that additional source: See this http://en.opensuse.org/YaST_Tips Ctrl+Shift+X -- opens xterm (`exit` or `Ctrl+d` to close it) or Ctrl+Alt+F2 -- switches from Qt to console (Alt+F7 to go back) then type `rcnetwork start` and see what happens ;) Dunno, maybe you have configured your network interface to shut down (but I doubt you did).

What??? On http://en.opensuse.org/Development_Version only the RC1 is mentioned. To make sure, I had a look at ftp.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/distribution/, and there is only an openSUSE-10.2-RC1 directory, no RC2..4 anywhere. Are you perhaps confusing the Beta 4 with the release candidate?

Are you sure you can run such a thing when only the install system from the DVD is running? Shouldn't the network be automatically started by the install system before requesting to add network sources? Have you tested to know if what you are recommending is feasible? I have my doubts you know what you are suggesting... Anyway... I have mounted the install system to check: nimrodel:/mnt # mount -o ro,loop=/dev/loop1 /mnt/dvd/boot/i386/root /mnt/isodvd/ nimrodel:/mnt # ls /mnt/isodvd/etc/init.d/n* /mnt/isodvd/etc/init.d/nfs nimrodel:/mnt # ls /mnt/isodvd/sbin/rc* /mnt/isodvd/sbin/rcopen-iscsi So... I was right. There is no "network" or "rcnetwork" init script in the install system.
Dunno, maybe you have configured your network interface to shut down (but I doubt you did).
What are you talking about??? :-O Me, configuring the what... to close... in the SUSE INSTALL DVD? Do you think that if I were working at Novell I would be asking this here?

No, I'm pretty sure that, at least, RC2 has been tested by the openSUSE community. Some of e-mails here on the mailing-list have RC2 in their subject.

Ah, I see, I had overlooked that this was in inst-sys, sorry for that. Misunderstanding: I thought you were mentioning adding extra-sources after your network is configured and tested. Anyway, if you boot from CD or DVD you should not get any network-related option in "New Add-On Configuration" dialog (or how is it called) such as SLP, HTTP, FTP etc. But if you still want to have network configured during the first-stage installation (int-sys), use a Linuxrc parameter "DHCP=1" at the boot-screen menu ... or you can set a static address using "HostIP=192.168.1.100 Netmask=255.255.255.0 Gateway=192.168.1.1 Nameserver=192.168.1.2 DHCP=0 UseDHCP=0 Domain=your.domain" Of course :) with your own settings...

There is no such thing in the torrents. Maybe in the factory tree, once the RC is installed.
So... I was right. There is no "network" or "rcnetwork" init script in the install system.

Anyway, if you boot from CD or DVD you should not get any network-related option in "New Add-On Configuration" dialog (or how is it called) such as SLP, HTTP, FTP etc.
It certainly proposes an URL (and local directories etc). If there is no support for URLs, ie, external sources, then it should be removed from the option list. Notice that I'm testing this procedure on purpose, because I was told here that it should work. I have created a new 10.1 partition with the idea in mind of testing this thing. But it seems it was not true that the procedure was ready. Very dissapointing, I have been waiting months to test this. :-(
But if you still want to have network configured during the first-stage installation (int-sys), use a Linuxrc parameter
"DHCP=1"
at the boot-screen menu ... or you can set a static address using
"HostIP=192.168.1.100 Netmask=255.255.255.0 Gateway=192.168.1.1 Nameserver=192.168.1.2 DHCP=0 UseDHCP=0 Domain=your.domain"
The eth0 interface is down at that stage, not even an IP will work - unless those entries above makes it initialize the network first.
Of course :) with your own settings...
Of course - but they are almost correct, as a matter of fact :-)
You can consult these (or other) Linuxrc parameters with this document: http://en.opensuse.org/Linuxrc
Nice. But most of the parameters there are undocumented, like the one labeled "network".
Have a nice day Lukas

Very interesting list, but it seems it's incomplete - I remember there's a hotkey for a (more or less) screen saver for example ;-) It would also be nice if you find some time to explain the options (on the wiki page) - for example, I don't know what this macro recorder is useful for. That said: I'd like to request another hotkey (proposal: Shift-F1) that displays a box showing all available hotkeys. (Yes, seriously. You (as a YaST developer) might know all available hotkeys, but most people don't know them. And such a list directly available in YaST would help a lot.) Regards, Christian Boltz --

Briljant idea..that way you would have all the packages availlable... Somehow the RC's aren't numbered... Pity it does not work...indeed.. Because it would be much faster as the network install, which i personaly never got to work...
Exactly! :-) Now the question is how to get that to work as intended, and when. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

Yes, time gets awfull short though....! I am updating my 64bit now, only 48 packages... Must be RC3>RC4 than... I do not like unclear things like these very much, often seen when deadlines come very close.... filed a bug this afternoon, hope it is not common: 225245. I am short of a capable monitor to watch what is realy happening in the system, top is not enough...

Just thinking aloud, I wonder if going into VC and configuring the network manually or by dhcp would be a way around. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce ...

No, it is much worse than that: the eth0 interface is not up, ifconfig only lists "lo". Not because there is a problem with the network, but because the install hasn't even tried to activate it at that point. What is VC, anyway? A console? - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
