[Bug 466795] New: Software Repository Manager - Could not write changes
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=466795 Summary: Software Repository Manager - Could not write changes Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: RC 2 Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.1 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: rob.opensuse.linux@googlemail.com QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: --- Created an attachment (id=265642) --> (https://bugzilla.novell.com/attachment.cgi?id=265642) /var/log/YaST2/y2log User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/4.1; Linux) KHTML/4.1.3 (like Gecko) SUSE Post Installation, tried to configure the software repositories from the initial defaults, to use a loopback mount of DVD iso file, rather than the physical burned disk. Simply Edit repository entry was useless, so I had to add and delete entries. The changes could not be saved. Re-starting the application and trying again, did work. So I'll submit the YaST2 logfile and assume it's "glitchy" for some reason, rather than reproducibly broken. Reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual Results: Failed to change settings, had to abort and repeat. This left me wishing I could simply change the repo's by editting a text file. Expected Results: Flawless update of repository info. -- 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.

BTW I think this may have happened, when the Installation disk was not in the DVD drive initially and it was attempting to access it. -- 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.

Could you describe exactly (step by step) what did you do so I could reproduce it? (BTW the repositories are stored in *.repo text files in /etc/zypp/repos.d directory.) -- 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.

It happened though, on a system that generally runs well, so I'm sure there's something there to find. Installed 11.1 from x86_64 DVD into LVM area set aside for OS Testing. Used a little, left a few weeks. Will have run update, when packages available. Tried to use YaST software manager, without DVD in drive (I generally use ISO file on disk as install source for convenience), decided to Edit Repositories. Attempted to Edit repository, found it did not help. Then used add & delete, but it would not save. Gave up, restarted and this time I was able to save changes. *shrugs* May be it'd be a good idea to add some log information into the Software Repository Manager, especially when it's failing for unexpected reasons, there was a popup, so presumably a log entry would be relatively simple. -- 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.

The problem is that the attached file is just part of the complete log, the log files are rotated. Use 'save_y2logs' command to save the complete log. -- 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.
