Using 10.3 KDE and compiz. When i try to update compiz using yast, i always get this error: Installation of package ./i586/compiz-0.7.4-7.2.i586.rpm failed. Subprocess failed. Error: RPM failed: error: unpacking of archive failed: cpio: Bad magic

...

I am trying to update from the SuseFactory repo and this usually works, up until about a week ago. What do i do to fix this?

Do not ever use Factory with any stable release. Use X11:/XGL/openSUSE_10.3 repo.

That is the one I always use, or more precisely: download.opensuse.org/repositories/X11:/XGL/openSUSE_10.3/ and I get the same. I also get other errors at times. They float around a bit. Sometimes it looks like it wants a newer glibc than the one that comes with 10.3. I expect a bit of fun when doing this, so I just accept it and wait. Compiz has been odd for a week or two. In the process, it broke my previously working compiz. No panic as I only use it for fun. But I, too, look forward to a compiz suite that will actually install on 10.3.

See the release announcements of 11.0, it has details about rpm payload changing to lzma.

As of last night, installing any compiz stuff stops with:

paste the output of : zypper -v sl I suspect you are trying to use Factory repo to install on 10.3. Cheers -J -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Packages from that repository must install on 10.3 without any issues, check zypper sl and make sure you do not have any "Factory" repositories enabled, after that try 1-click from the above repo.

Oddly, I have the wlan factory. My wireless has always worked great, so I wonder what I was thinking with that one. But there are no other factory references.

An this effects the 10.3 repository?

No, but it makes it impossible to install factory packages on 10.3 by mistake :)
