I updated my 11.1 last night, and it died as far as connectivity is concerned. Didn't even finish the update. During the install of glibc, something went awry and I could no longer connect. I remember reading something recently about this. Is there a big problem with the update? dig works, host works, nothing else works, i.e. Yast, zypper, browser, Kopete, ping, traceroute, etc. To get it working I needed to downgrade glibc to the versions on the DVD. It got 5 of the 7 packages updated before it died in mid stream. Is there a fix, or something else needed? TIA for any help.
The interesting question is what exactly broke and why. I'm not aware of a problem so far but suggest you try again and if it fails, open a bugreport in our bugzilla with some extra information like the lines in /var/log/zypp/history regarding this update, 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
