However... yesterday I ran yast sw_single to update my laptop "remotely" (bigger keyboard and screen). For some reason that I did not notice at the time, YaST stopped mid way and exited or crashed. When I run sw_single again it said that the last session had failed to update everything, did I want to continue?
My suspicion is that network failed (or restarted) during the "remote" update and yast crashed.
Not sure what it was. I do a *lot* of my updates remotely, although always only via zypper. The ssh login so far always survived even network restarts... Might be X applications are more sensitive there. I'd think they should be fine as long as the ssh tunnel exists, but who knows?
ssh apparently did not crash - I still have the terminal open with the log of commands at the client. ssh was closed later, apparently. I know that at the time I thought that YOU had simply finished and closed, I saw nothing out of the ordinary. In fact, now I remember that I considered ordering the laptop to reboot from the ssh session, then decided against it. I would have to examine the yast logs to find out, and they are somewhat difficult to read. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)
