Is there a log file for openSUSE Updater ?
Would that be zypper.log in /var/log?
Yes, looks like it. But I can't find any indication that it does launch an installation of what it may or may not have downloaded. How can I tell from the log file if it is installing the updates ? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

1.) grep install /var/log/zypper.log returns a lot of various statements ending with a long list of messages like 2008-07-05 12:22:26 <0> titanx(11758) [zypp] QueueItemEstablish.cc(process):176 Uninstalled U__s_[S13:0][pattern]office-32bit-10.3-159.x86_64 supplements [pattern] (namedcap) 32bit -> install 2.) grep '<install>' ./zypper.log does not return any matches ! Guess that means it really isn't installing.... 3.) Running YAST Control Centre -> Software -> Online Update then actually installs the updates/patches and the openSUSE Updater icon turns green if I do another "Check now" on it. ...hmmmm...I don't get it. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

You are using 10.3 and that was one of problems with zypper. After update as you did zypper should be updated too and it will work as expected. -- Regards, Rajko http://en.opensuse.org/Portal needs helpful hands. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Hey thanks, Rajko, sounds like a good lead ! Would you know which package/version does contain this fix ? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

This is what I get: # zypper -V zypper 0.8.25 That is the latest version of zypper in 10.3. If you have that you are past that problem, so far I recall. I can't say for sure because I don't use automatic updates for a while. One of reasons is long metadata update on every boot that makes system sluggish. The other is that I like to know what is going to be updated, sometimes it saved me a trouble if some program started to behave after update. Sometimes when I update problem is already reported and solved. -- Regards, Rajko http://en.opensuse.org/Portal needs helpful hands. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I believe that is true.
3.) Running YAST Control Centre -> Software -> Online Update then actually installs the updates/patches and the openSUSE Updater icon turns green if I do another "Check now" on it.
...hmmmm...I don't get it.
Since that has been a problem since a few weeks here as well (on every 10.3 I run now), I decided to do some checking. I found a hint in the bugzilla to make sure the Keep Password checkbox was unchecked. So to test (since I had already run YOU to get updated, which I have had to do for several weeks (but no time to test), I downgraded a package to make sure there was a package to update. Then, when I told opensuse-updater to install and was prompted for the root password, I unchecked the Keep Password box, and to my pleasant surprise it worked. Hope this gets yours working as well. -- Joe Morris Registered Linux user 231871 running openSUSE 10.3 x86_64 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

grep --color install /var/log/zypper.log is the command you need , the color simply highlites.

grep --color install /var/log/zypper.log returns the same long output I mentioned under 1.) in my previous post. The color option is nice to highlight all occurences... but what am I looking for ?? Evidently, the search criteria needs to be narrowed down from 'install' to an expression that will clearly indicate if it is installing or not ? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
