It is a special image created by kiwi in Prague. Not that on the webpages.

nfs://dhcp81.suse.cz/export/openSUSE*.iso But that machine is offline now. We should put it to CML.suse.cz Did you get any error messages? In the log it says "Cannot fork: Cannot allocate memory". I see that the machine has 256 MB of RAM. Was your memory filled up by other things? -- 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.

I'd go for WONTFIX here. -- 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.

I'm not experienced enough to tell whether this is solvable with having swap space available. However, what zypper can do better here is to display proper error message and set proper exit code. -- 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.

I had a look at the code and spotted that pipe/openpts do not propagate any error. I fixed it (in SVN:trunk) and introduced: /** Some detail telling why the execution failed, if it failed. * Empty if the command is still running or successfully completed. * * \li <tt>Can't open pty (%s).</tt> * \li <tt>Can't open pipe (%s).</tt> * \li <tt>Can't fork (%s).</tt> * \li <tt>Command exited with status %d.</tt> * \li <tt>Command was killed by signal %d (%s).</tt> */ const std::string & ExternalProgram::execError() const; And as well: /** The command we're executing. */ const std::string & command() const; Propagating execError in an exception, we should get some reasonable message. Note: Errors after fork (chroot/exec) are logged to the childs stderr. If this error output is forwarded to the user, he'll see some reasonable message too. Otherwise the child exits(129). -- 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.
