[opensuse] Brand new VM with tumbleweed read only???
All, I haven't use btrfs much yet. Yesterday, I created a new Tumbleweed VM inside Virtualbox (hosted on a Win 10 PC) and accepted the default btrfs. I've barely done anything with it yet, but admittedly I have rebooted several times. I think I did a clean poweroff each time. When I run "zypper in mariadb" I get: == Error: Subprocess failed. Error: RPM failed: error: can't create transaction lock on /var/lib/rpm/.rpm.lock (Read-only file system) == But mount doesn't show /var as readonly: == # mount | grep var /dev/sda2 on /var type btrfs (rw, ..., subvol=/@/var) overlay on /etc type overlay (rw, relatime, lowerdir=/sysroot/etc,upperdir=/sysroot/var/lib/overlay/etc,workdir=/sysroot/var/lib/overlay/work-etc) == [I typed the above, so beware of typos.] Is there a easy fix, or should I just blow this VM away recreate with btrfs in the loop?

I have a guess. I set it up as a "transaction server" since I was just going to doing some SQL testing. I realize now that I totally misunderstood what a transaction server is. Still, I would expect to be able to install packages? Greg -- Greg Freemyer Advances are made by answering questions.

A pretty poorly chosen description imho. It's apparently something to do with https://kubic.opensuse.org/ Last I worked with a "transaction server", it was called TPF and ran on IBW hardware. :-) -- Per Jessen, Zürich (19.6°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - free dynamic DNS, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

I still don't get what it is. Shouldn't YaST have a description? -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.3 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)
Just for the record. On my tw that dir is not located on /var. It's linked to /usr ls -ld /var/lib/rpm lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 26 7 mar 10.46 /var/lib/rpm -> ../../usr/lib/sysimage/rpm Cheers, /bengan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

That's not normal TUmbleweed (or openSUSE in general) installation which has no overlays. You should explain what you actually did. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
