Ran between 30-60 minutes, which gave me time to find if anyone was chewing up disk space. Someone was: SR1650NX:/var/log # wc -l pk_backend_zypp 512658 pk_backend_zypp The above wc was taken when the updating bar was at 98%. As soon as it completed, the file was truncated back down to zero: SR1650NX:/var/log # ll pk_backend_zypp -rw-r----- 1 root root 0 Apr 1 16:37 pk_backend_zypp So I don't have the final file size, but I did "tail" the file at one point. It is full of detailed debugging info: 2011-04-01 16:16:19 <1> SR1650NX(5956) [zypp++] MediaManager.cc(checkDesired):109 checkDesired(965): desired (report by zypp::media::NoVerifier) 2011-04-01 16:16:19 <1> SR1650NX(5956) [zypp++] MediaManager.cc(checkDesired):112 checkDesired(965): desired (cached) 2011-04-01 16:16:19 <1> SR1650NX(5956) [zypp++] MediaManager.cc(checkDesired):112 checkDesired(965): desired (cached) 2011-04-01 16:16:19 <1> SR1650NX(5956) [zypp++] MediaMultiCurl.cc(doGetFileCopy):1230 dest: /var/adm/mount/AP_0x00000001/content 2011-04-01 16:16:19 <1> SR1650NX(5956) [zypp++] MediaMultiCurl.cc(doGetFileCopy):1231 temp: /var/adm/mount/AP_0x00000001/content.new.zypp.6KQJTl My cpu usage never went above 25%, so it may be that the slowdown is entirely due to writing one-half million lines of log file during an update. I installed 11.4 just yesterday and this was my first update run, with only the 6 default openSUSE 11.4 repositories. So this is typical behavior, not due to an unusual or large set of repositories. Every openSUSE 11.4 packagekit user will see this behavior. Hopefully, this is a debugging option that got left on by mistake and will easily turned off. Like Moritz, I too was reminded of the bad old days of 10.2, because of the slowness and also for another reason: I had to stare at a grayed-out, disabled Cancel button the whole time! Which, for something that runs up to an hour, I think is also a bug. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
