[opensuse] Problem with ZMD, database lost
For some reason my zmd database has been lost, when trying to do an update I get an error message saying that it cannot parse the xml data and that /usr/share/zmd/zmd.db cannot be opened. I checked and there is nothing there Is there anyway to rebuild the database Sean -- Thawte and CaCert WOT Assurer I believe that every human has a finite number of heartbeats.

I think you just do the configure bit again (right click the updater). Select new repositories. Related complaint: If you ever invoke Yast Installation Source function without being connected to the net (and thereby unable to reach your selected repositories) it summarily kicks them out, and they don't always come back, even after reconnecting to the net. I wish it would just deactivate them and leave them there. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen

Ok will try that later on though I have a feeling I have done that but I have had problems with your related complaint :) Sean -- Thawte and CaCert WOT Assurer I believe that every human has a finite number of heartbeats.

/usr/share/zmd/zmd.db is no file our ZMD uses. /var/lib/zmd/zmd.db is the database. If it is removed or gone ... restart zmd and it will recreate it. Ciao, Marcus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

So any reason why the desktop update tool gives a different location Sean -- Thawte and CaCert WOT Assurer I believe that every human has a finite number of heartbeats. I don't intend to waste any of mine running around doing exercises. - Neil Armstrong
