[opensuse] zypper + snapper + rollback
I was doing an update of a Tumbleweed system yesterday and at some point the computer restarted. I did not see how far it had gotten in installing the updates. Now the system no longer has a GUI. X can be started. But kdeinit5 seems unhappy. Instead of fighting with whatever may have been borked in kde, I thought I would just undo the update. When running snapper, I only see the pre snapshot. Usually there is a post. My question is, how can I revert to what I had before the troublesome zypper update? In the description here (https://doc.opensuse.org/documentation/leap/reference/html/book.opensuse.ref...), all the examples are when there is a pre and a post. What if I only have the pre? Before the pre made when the update failed, I only have the original snapshot. This is on a disk with limited space, so when things look good, I have to remove snapshots. Any help is greatly appreciated! -- Roger Oberholtzer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Why don't you run zypper dup again to complete the update? (By the way, it did not reboot. It crashed). -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.

That was my first thought. But I have the network set up to start in KDE. And KDE is not starting. Obviously I can reconfigure the network... (As an aside, is there a command line to bring up the network as KDE would do?)
(By the way, it did not reboot. It crashed).
I would guess so. But I didn't see anything except the boot menu. So whatever actually happened went unnoticed. -- Roger Oberholtzer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

if your using network manager, nmcli ex. list connections: nmcli c connect with password: nmcli --ask connection up <name of your connection> Cheers, -- /bengan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Thanks! That did the trick. I redid the update and all seems back. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Oops. There is "nmcli" :-? No, it is "nmtui" you need: nmtui - Text User Interface for controlling NetworkManager nmtui is a curses‐based TUI application for interacting with NetworkManager. When starting nmtui, the user is prompted to choose the activity to perform unless it was specified as the first argument. connect Show a list of available connections, with the option to activate or deactivate them. It provides similar functionality as nm-applet.

Ha, I posted that before reading this line :-D

It was fast. Hopefully there would be something in the log. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from openSUSE, Leap 15.1 x86_64 (ssd-test)) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

No, it is "nmtui" you need:
actually, nmcli will work nmcli - command-line tool for controlling NetworkManager nmtui - Text User Interface for controlling NetworkManager nmtui appears to use a tk semi-graphical interface. nmcli just text mode. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet freenode -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
