[opensuse] Network upgrade 10.3=>11.0
Am attempting to upgrade via the network from 10.3 to 11.0, and running into trouble when it starts copying files. Everything up to that is fine. I then get the following error: "Subprocess failed. Error: RPM failed: error: open of /var/cache/zypp/packages/opensuse-DVD\ failed: No such file or directory error: open of 11.0/suse/noarch/yast2-trans-en_US-2.16.9-1.1.noarch.rpm failed :No such file or directory" Have tried using both NFS and SMB. What directory are you supposed to point the install at?? But I assume it is correct, because I get this far... Any help appreciated, as my 10.3 server is now dead... :-( Thanks John. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

How exactly are you running that upgrade? What command(s), what procedure? - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

Using the network disk (downloaded yesterday - openSUSE-11.1-NET-i586.iso) and either setting up NFS on my main PC, or sharing the drive (SMB). It must be picking up the correct location, as it continues with the upgrade through to copying files, if I put the wrong info in the initial box (ie different place on the shared drive, wrong NFS directory) it fails almost immediately. I probably would be better off doing a full install, but I have a few services/apps that I am a bit dubious about if I do the full install (although, at this point, it may not matter much.... :-( ) Thanks, John. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Please be more verbose :-) Do you mean that you are booting from that CD, and then selecting "upgrade system", or what? What does that NFS contain? My guess so far is that the NFS contains a mirror of a remote installation repo, and that some packages are missing there. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

Sorry, have a habit of being brief... :-( Yes, on my 'server', I have 'inserted' the full 11.0 DVD, which i have used to install several systems (have actually just downloaded 11.1, so will try that later.. :-) ) , and used NFS to export that path ( /media/SU1110.001 or similar), then on the PC I am trying to upgrade, have booted off the Network Disk (burnt from openSUSE-11.1-NET-i586.iso and checked md5) and at the initial screen, have selected to install via NFS, and inserted the corresponding path, then when the option comes up, selecting to 'upgrade' the system. Goes through all the right motions, including deleting inital files from my existing 10.3 install, before trying to copy new files. This is when it breaks, with the previous message. As I said, have also tried the same process, but using SMB (sharing the path on the server, and selecting SMB instead of NFS to install from on the client, including all the login info, etc), and this then reaches the same point successfully, but then fails. My assumption is there is an incorrect path "somewhere", but how can it go through the initial install stuff, if it's not finding the correct path? It IS the original install media...... I'm confused. Thanks, John. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

The DVD is probably good, as you used it to install other systems, but it wouldn't hurt to verify it for errors.
then on the PC I am trying to upgrade, have booted off the Network Disk (burnt from openSUSE-11.1-NET-i586.iso and checked md5) and at the initial screen,
Hold on, the 11.1 net install, while you export the 11.0 DVD? That can not work, they have to be the same version. Is that a typo, or they are really different versions?

Well, if they are different versions, I understand that it will not work. If they are the same version, then I wold verify the media for errors (check sum). For network install, I prefer having a copy on the HD. I think you can just copy the DVD iso and export that, or loop mount it, and export the result. It works faster than exporting a real dvd, seeks on HD are much faster. Then, of course, you can upgrade from the full DVD , instead of the net iso. Failing that, I'm doubtful whether the network install expects only the content of the DVD media in the network repo, or a mirror of a full repo - I mean that a real network repository contains much more than the DVD. It could be "clever" enough to use the local network repo and find the rest on a remote repo, but I'm not sure. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

Thanks for the tips! As I said, I have now downloaded 11.1 DVD, so will see how that goes, and let you know. :-) Thanks, John. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Yep, problem fixed. Currently about 3 parts of the way through the install. :-) I now know you need the same versions of disks..(Network and install).. Thanks for the assistance and sorry for the diversion! :-( John. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
