I updated my 11.1 last night, and it died as far as connectivity is concerned. Didn't even finish the update. During the install of glibc, something went awry and I could no longer connect. I remember reading something recently about this. Is there a big problem with the update? dig works, host works, nothing else works, i.e. Yast, zypper, browser, Kopete, ping, traceroute, etc. To get it working I needed to downgrade glibc to the versions on the DVD. It got 5 of the 7 packages updated before it died in mid stream. Is there a fix, or something else needed? TIA for any help.
The interesting question is what exactly broke and why. I'm not aware of a problem so far but suggest you try again and if it fails, open a bugreport in our bugzilla with some extra information like the lines in /var/log/zypp/history regarding this update,
We have this tracked in Bugzilla now, seems like I was not careful enough when reviewing the resolver fixes I took:
Thanks Petr. I also was unaware of a feature using localhost to resolve DNS without a nameserver entry in resolv.conf. That would explain how it worked before, and may mean the enhancement I filed https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=473705 is not needed. It would have been good for a change like that to be documented (maybe it was, but I haven't come across it). To me, having a nameserver in resolv.conf makes more sense than having a hidden feature "allowing things to work" but seemingly being broke (i.e. only a search entry in resolv.conf). But I guess I will learn as well. -- Joe -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
