This is after an upgrade to Factory from openSUSE 10.3.
Upgrading "stable" to "factory" is risky, unless you are doing a sacrifice for science and report bugs ;-)
In addition, the 'sux' command is no longer found.
The 'sux' command was dropped long ago: you can simply use "su" with the same functionality. Or you can recreate the link:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 2007-11-03 03:01 /usr/bin/sux -> /bin/su*
When trying to update, for example, I never get prompted for the root password and updating fails with "Root privileges are required" and "su returned with an error".
What changed and how can I get the old update behavior back? Perhaps a 'sudo' issue?
I don't know about that. But you could open an xterm, do "su -" (not su), and then, run "yast &" or "yast2 &".
Well, right now I cannot even do simple things like change the clock on the system because of the apparent permissions error. I can get openSUSE updater to show me all available updates, but i cannot update either because of this issue. I would really just like to find out how I might be able to do these tasks again. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
