[opensuse] Opensuse 12.2 - Fetch Job Error
hi I upgraded from 11.4 to 12.2 last night and today i started getting my old friend "Fetch Job Error" message again (managed to get about to logins and not get it) but now it gives some added info. It now says FETCH JOB ERROR (Plasma Desktop Shell) Unknown Error (unable to fetch item from backend)(collection 5; resource -1) Anyone know what (collection 5; resource -1) relates to? regards Ian -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Upgraded? Fresh install from DVD ISO- formatting only root partition Do you mean in place all one step from 11.4 > 12.2? Not a good idea Sorry, should have said "install" - i've not used the upgrade process for years as it always seems to leave bits and pieces of config around from the

Notice that an online upgrade of 11.4 to 12.2 is not supported. Thanks but I've tried the online method once a long time ago and it was a disaster so been downloading ISO and burning a DVD ever since. - -- Cheers / Saludos,

Ah. Then please don't say that you upgraded when you did not. It is confusing. - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.

To some extent confusing. From user perspective it is upgrade from previous version. Previously used was 11.4, now it is 12.2. What was missing was information about upgrade path - clean installation vs. upgrade (update) installed system. Not to mention that whole upgrade vs. update is a bit blurry in the software field. http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/upgrade up·grade (verb) \ˈəp-ˌgrād, ˌəp-ˈ\ : to raise or improve the grade of: as Grades are usually bound for classifications, where you have grade A, B, C and it is defined that A offers maximum functionality, and C minimum. Without existing classification speaking about upgrade has as many meanings as article has readers. http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/update up·date (transitive verb) \ˌəp-ˈdāt\ : to bring up to date This is what actually happens for sure when one installs new openSUSE version. -- Regards, Rajko. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

In suse parlance both update and upgrade have definite meanings. A system upgrade, well, is a system upgrade :-) I know that because in our translation group we had to discuss the subject and try to find appropriate and different words in Spanish, which we did not... And if it is a system upgrade I want to know if it was performed properly because if not it can cause all sorts of strange problems that I can attempt to help solve. If it is in fact a new install, I can't (in this case), I'm out of clues.
From user perspective it is upgrade from previous version. Previously used was 11.4, now it is 12.2.
No, I don't agree :-) - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.

It is a bit confusing as i would have said an update was an overwrite of the existing software and and upgrade was a version number change. I guess i could have called it a reinstallation upgrade :o) Sorry for the confusion does anyone know what the "Collection 5 resource -1" refers to?

I have no idea what is requesting the "fetch", i was hoping someone know what "collection 5 resource -1" meant so i had a chance to find the problem. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
