It is running kernel 3.1.0-rc6-2-desktop quite nicely. it even has /bin/systemd, /bin/systemd-ask-password, /bin/systemd-loginctl, /bin/systemd-machine-id-setup and 3 other systemd-whatevers. On the other hand all installs since build 315 and later stop at: "error: can't create transaction lock on /var/lib/rpm/.rpm.lock (No such file or directory)" at which point the installation hangs. /home only has /lost+found and nothing else. /var/log only has: beebubz/var/lib/rpm # ls -l /r5/var/log/* -rw-r----- 1 root root 0 Oct 5 00:20 /r5/var/log/acpid -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 7125 Oct 5 00:17 /r5/var/log/alternatives.log -rw------- 1 root root 0 Oct 5 00:04 /r5/var/log/btmp -rw------- 1 root root 3456 Oct 5 00:21 /r5/var/log/faillog -rw-r----- 1 root root 0 Oct 5 00:20 /r5/var/log/firewall -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 31536 Oct 5 00:21 /r5/var/log/lastlog -rw-r----- 1 root root 0 Oct 5 00:20 /r5/var/log/mail -rw-r----- 1 root root 0 Oct 5 00:20 /r5/var/log/mail.err -rw-r----- 1 root root 0 Oct 5 00:20 /r5/var/log/mail.info -rw-r----- 1 root root 0 Oct 5 00:20 /r5/var/log/mail.warn -rw-r----- 1 root root 0 Oct 5 00:20 /r5/var/log/messages -rw-r----- 1 root root 0 Oct 5 00:20 /r5/var/log/NetworkManager -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Oct 5 00:20 /r5/var/log/ntp -rw-rw-r-- 1 root utmp 0 Oct 5 00:04 /r5/var/log/wtmp /r5/var/log/cups: total 0 /r5/var/log/krb5: total 0 /r5/var/log/news: total 0 -rw-r----- 1 news news 0 Oct 5 00:20 news.crit -rw-r----- 1 news news 0 Oct 5 00:20 news.err -rw-r----- 1 news news 0 Oct 5 00:20 news.notice /r5/var/log/samba: total 0 /r5/var/log/YaST2: total 136 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5961 Oct 5 00:15 mkinitrd.log -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 129496 Oct 5 00:16 perl-BL-standalone-log /r5/var/log/zypp: total 188 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 184564 Oct 5 00:24 history As indicated by the bug reports the install has not entered the next phase. Aside from the logs that are generated is there a trace that can be turned on to indicate which lines of code from which executable is issuing which messages? If any of you are interested, I can provide attachments. -- 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.
