[opensuse-factory] Alpha 7 and others
Hey Group; Console Yast2 and the Software Update process appears to not clear the previous /var/lib/zypp data. This was the cause of this system not finding anything new except about 10 old entries and finally a error message. I removed all of the data found in /var/lib/zypp. Leaving non DB data. Brought up Yast2 and it found hundreds of new files showing the installed versions and the one that could be updated. This took about 30 minutes - OK! I then selected various files to update (like open Office - I give up). At some point Yast2 selection check went out and states "Solving" in a GUI text box. Somehow I have become curious if it is working. There is no sign of anything. No spinning hour glass or progress bar. "top" seems to imply it is however, it has been about 1 to 2 hour and no change. A action bar would be nice. -- 73 de Donn Washburn 307 Savoy Street Email: " n5xwb@hal-pc.org " Sugar Land, TX 77478 LL# 1.281.242.3256 Ham Callsign N5XWB HAMs : " n5xwb@arrl.net " VoIP via Gizmo: bmw_87kbike / via Skype: n5xwbg BMW MOA #: 4146 - Ambassador " http://counter.li.org " #279316 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

If you do that, you removed all informaton about installed patches, patterns, selections and languages. The only thing that will be cleared is the db/sources directory (now in /etc/zypp/repos.d ) Duncan --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
