http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=552721 Summary: "zypper dup" 11.1 -> 11.2 RC2 kills X11 clients (VMWare?) Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.2 Version: RC 2 Platform: i686 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.2 Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Update Problems AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: haffner@astro.wisc.edu QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10_6_1; en-us) AppleWebKit/531.9 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0.3 Safari/531.9 Following http://en.opensuse.org/Upgrade/11.2 with a fairly vanilla, fully up-to-date 11.1 installation (e.g., no non-openSUSE repos), "zypper dup" causes the X session to falter after installing xorg-x11-fonts-core, killing the terminal session that zypper is running in. The X server is not reset nor is much of the low-level gnome session, but all visible clients die, including the desktop and taskbar. I'm left with a blank X session, no windows, and apparent window manager (although metacity did restart around the time of the failure). No errors in Xorg.0.log. xsession-errors reveals the likely reason for why nothing works after the hiccup: gnome-panel: error while loading shared libraries: libgnome-desktop-2.so.7: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory nautilus: error while loading shared libraries: libeel-2.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Window manager warning: Failed to load theme "Gilouche": Failed to find a valid file for theme Gilouche Not surprisingly, this looks like errors due to some packages not being installed yet. If "zypper dup" is run on a text console or via ssh, the installation continues just fine even though the X session is left in this zombie state. There's no error or warnings that look related to this failure when xorg-x11-fonts-core is being installed, although the post-install SuSEconfig.fonts is run twice, which is odd. I can't test this on a real machine, but it's fully reproducible in my VMware Fusion 3.0 VMs on multiple tries and different computers.
