zypper now broke somehow...
I changed /etc/zypp/zypp.conf line 351, from -> ## commit.downloadMode = to -> commit.downloadMode = DownloadAsNeeded
I could not enter emergency mode or isolate graphical target so I passed zypper dup in Konsole. There were 2900 or so updates with 3 problems which had solutions....zypper started fetching and installing for a few minutes.....
I went to sleep because this machine is slow.....I returned to the machine to find zypper halted with options to retry, ignore etc..... I attempted to retry with no success about 4 times. I did not know what to do and then shut off the machine.
I turned on the machine and logged into KDE. I opened Konsole. zypper lr -ua
zypper: error while loading shared libraries: librpm.so.9: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory.
you were advised to "download in advance" to preclude this type of problem. zypper -v ref ; zypper -v dup -d -l && zypper -v dup -l then if zypper or one of it's dependencies changes, it does not hang your system. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet oftc
