http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1140563 Bug ID: 1140563 Summary: When YaST or Zypper installs nvidia-gfxG03-kmp-default and the script fails, the user is not informed about failed install Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Distribution Version: Leap 15.0 Hardware: Other OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 Assignee: yast2-maintainers@suse.de Reporter: carlos.e.r@opensuse.org QA Contact: jsrain@suse.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- Created attachment 809584 --> http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/attachment.cgi?id=809584&action=edit log of the session Comes from Bug 1131028 Situation. For testing this (to replicate the bug) I rename the /usr/src/linux-obj/x86_64/default link so that it is "missing". Then I try to install one Nvidia rpm with zypper (with force because it is already installed): Telcontar:/data/storage_c/repositorios_zypp/LocalRPMs_15.0-15.1-nvidia # zypper install --force nvidia-gfxG03-kmp-default-340.107_k4.12.14_lp151.27-lp151.12.50.x86_64.rpm Loading repository data...

But all tools: rpm, zypper, yast, don't notice this and claim that the rpm installed successfully. Of course, for the purpose of testing I provoked the failure by deleting one crucial symlink, but the situation can arise from other problems. It is worse in YaST because the text output is not printed. The user only finds out when he reboot (zypper says to reboot) and video fails. Desired outcome: That the tools tell of the failure. I'll attach the full log of the session. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
