advice?
If this is related to going back from 13.1 to 12.3 as you mentioned in the other mail, then it's clear: su(1) has been moved from coreutils to util-linux, so going back may have broken things. You are probably the first one to go that direction ... I'd either login on the console as root, or "ssh root@localhost" and re-install both packages. Good luck.

If that is not possible, maybe try boot the 12.3 full dvd, and choose "upgrade". It will replace many things to their originals, so you have to reapply the patches and updates later... Another step is this: rpm -q -a --queryformat "%{INSTALLTIME}\t%{INSTALLTIME:day} \ %{BUILDTIME:day} %-30{NAME}\t%15{VERSION}-%-7{RELEASE}\t%{arch} \ %25{VENDOR}%25{PACKAGER} == %{DISTRIBUTION} %{DISTTAG}\n" \ | sort | cut --fields="2-" | tee rpmlist \ | egrep -v "openSUSE.12\.3" | less -S to find all packages that do not contains 12.3 in their "names". -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E.

Those files are on the cd aren't they? How do I get to them with swith rpm or what else to use? -- Bob Rea mailto:gapetard@stsams.org http://www.petard.us http://www.petard.us/blog http://www.petard.us/gallery America, it was a wonderful country until they took it private and turned it into a theme park of itself -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Yes, but full distro downgrade is not a supported scenario and will almost certainly fail in more ways than just this example. Only the "upgrade" path is tested and expected to work.. as far as I know no distribution support downgrades in a way that does not require full reinstall. -- Cristian "I don't know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everybody." -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

If you remain stuck using cmdline on the ttys, you have a choice between text mode YaST, which I find clumsy but usable, or zypper, which is pure cmdline, but easy enough, and what I prefer for software management overall. I mostly only use YaST to identify package names containing what I'm looking for and zypper fails to find. Once done installing via DVD, still without usable GUI, forget about su until after the installation has become usable your way. Until then, login as root, then # zypper up is all it takes to update installed packages to their latest version. Once you have your GUI working comfortably is time enough to figure out what the problem with su is. If there's some package you need to add before your GUI is working right, simply: # zypper in <additionalpackage> You can login on as many as 6 ttys at once, as root on all 6 if you want, so you can read a man page on one, another man page on another, all the while upgrading on another, and most anything else you can think of on the rest of the others, including YaST. What you can't do is run zypper, or add YaST software, on more than one at a time, because the first will lock out the either of the others until the first finishes. In case you've never noticed, bash on the ttys has command history. Simply <UP> as many times as it takes to find what you want that you did before, and <ENTER> to repeat it, or edit then <ENTER> to run it differently, such as fixing a typo. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
