[opensuse] Can't get the security update
Well, the red triangle just came up, and I clicked on it as usual. It says I have kernel security update 951 pending; I tell it to install. It asks for my root password, which I give it; the icon immediately turns back to a red triangle, and nothing else happens. Went through this several times; no difference. Did the Windows fix (reboot :-); no difference. What now? I've never seen anything like this before.

If you're not bothered about using a console, open a console and either type: sudo zypper -v up or become root using: su - and then use: zypper -v up This will give a verbose output from zypper as it looks at what to upgrade and, after getting a confirmation, performs the upgrade. If you're not interested on what's going on, drop the "-v" from the above commands. Alternatively, if you'd prefer to use the GUI, the other way would be to open up YaST, select either "Online Update" or "Software Management" and then install the update(s).

Better use "zypper patch" since that use the patches, Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, Director Platform / openSUSE, aj@suse.de SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126

OK, so konqueror says there's no such command; however, I did zypper pch which listed kernel patch 951 as needed. So, I do David's command zypper -v up and after a few lines describing various checks, zypper says: --------- Resolving dependencies...

The 2.6.22.18 kernel is openSUSE 10.3, the 2.6.25.20 kernel is openSUSE 11.0. I see both in above error message, so you seem to be mixing 10.3 and 11.0 repos and rpms somehow.

Yes, I see what you're saying. How on Earth did that happen! OK, I'll just install 11.1 tomorrow and hope that fixes things. I waited around for a while because some early adopters were complaining of problems with hardware that I have (can't remember what), but that was so long ago that it must be fixed by now -- I haven't heard of problems with 11.1 in a good while.
