This partition combination worked on openSUSE-12.1 milestone5. PC is an athlon-1100 w/2GB RAM and a nVidia FX5200 graphic card Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Attempt to install and problem occurs everytime 2. 3. Actual Results: Above noted failure occurs every time, with PC install halting at "error: can't create a transition lock on /var/lib/rpm/ .rpm lock (no such file or directory)" error. Pressing <enter> does not help. Pressing <ctrl><c> aborts the install, giving ansi menu's to install or reboot. GRUB is already setup, but rebooting results in a hang at the log in menu with no users recognized. Expected Results: Install should complete nominally. I kept failed install on PC. I can likely boot to a liveCD and access the installation logs. Is there any log file that I can provide to help in the debugging ? Note my 'paid' daytime work (which is not related to GNU/Linux) is very busy currently, so my reply's to this bug report may be slow. -- 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 mounted my 12.1 beta1 / and see that there is in fact a /var/lib/rpm/.rpm.lock of zero bytes.

...

From the original post, it looks like it's looking for: /var/lib/rpm/ .rpm.lock (notice the space before .rpm.lock). It may just be a typo on the OP's part, but if it's not, then there is an extra space in there breaking the installation.

That is not the cause of the failed installation.

In other words: all installs that I performed on my PC from build 315 on stop at "transaction lock"... I was illustrating the only events that made themselves visible. Surely someone with familiarity with the code and scripts would look for completed events that may lead to the visible ones.

No. I am talking about a trace similar to what compilers offer. A check into the /var/log of the involved partitions show NO Xorg*.* none.

I don't know what you mean, however the backtrace is what matters here.

Yeah, that's because the installer system runs in tmpfs and you're looking at the root fs of the half-installed system. You need to check /var/log/Xorg.0log (or look at vt8) when this happens, the log will be gone after rebooting. -- 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 getting the same problem - all packages are installed and just before the first restart the machine hangs. Unfortunately, in my case the display gets corrupted so I can't move to text console and extract any logs. -- 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.

Possibly another 'bug' ( ? ) impacting only certain PC hardware. The F3 key works fine in an openSUSE-11.4 install from the desktop (but also does not function from the grub menu). But that's not relevant to this thread, other than it prevents a 'potential work around'. -- 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.

Managed to start installation in text mode, and it does manage to get beyond the point of displaying "Updating kernel module dependencies ...", and reboots. Only problem is that it immediately crashes on starting stage 2 GUI part, due to the crap ATI driver that is used. To get around this problem, during the stage 1 installation I had to also add nomodeset to the boot kernel options of the default boot choice, and also change runlevel to 3. This allowed me to at least get to login, though stage 2 does not take place in text mode, not sure if there is a text mode stage 2. Unless someone knows how to get stage 2 to continue. At least I can install the half decent proprietary ATI driver and change runlevel to 5, and reboot. Rebooting, results in stage 2 trying to continue, now at least I get the openSUSE splash screen and busy mouse pointer. Nothing else appears, only thing you can do is move the busy mouse pointer around or reboot. The default rubbish ATI prevents even installing completely using text mode for stage 1. -- 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 have no idea why Lee's F3 key isn't working - I had no issue. Perhaps he is on a laptop? I had no trouble using a text mode install. Phase 1 completed normally, and phase 2 started on reboot (also normally). The install remained in text mode, and did not go to graphical mode at the start of phase 2 as Alun suggests. I will note however, that weird graphical glitches are shown when dragging icons around in desktop folder view mode. It's hard to explain, and too brief to capture in a photo. Marcin's suggested workaround is fine for now. -- 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 have no idea why Lee's F3 key isn't working - I had no issue. Perhaps he is on a laptop?

Its an old desktop PC, but I think the non-functioning of my F3 key is a 'red herring' and not relevant to bug 721676. The F3 key could be a hardware issue with an old keyboard and I need to check out a different keyboard separately with this PC. Its good to read there is a TEXT mode work around (which I can't unfortunately test until I plug in a different keyboard), but still, this 12.1 beta1 DVD install should be working with the FBDEV video driver (which it does not). I did manage to install 12.1 beta1 on same PC from a KDE liveCD, and so this Bug-721676 appears to be DVD specific. -- 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.
