yes, i didn't see the other posts saying the same thing before i posted this one. sounds good, and good luck!
That's what I thought too. The reinstallation is finished now, after an hour and a half plus, and I was told that some programs haven't been restarted because they depended on files that have been deleted. I was advised to run zypper -ps.
That produced a file of nearly 30KB, containing a list of what appear to be library files; I was able to save this file, but not to copy it to another machine through NFS, so I can't exhibit it here.
What am I to make of this? Is this normal in the circumstances?
"zypper ps" shows you processes that use files that have been deleted during the upgrade. that's normal; files get deleted and replaced by different versions, being switched to another repo. the programs using them won't crash immediately because these files still exist in some temporary fashion. you can run "zypper ve" (verify), to make sure that all dependencies are fulfilled. that should show nothing; "zypper ps" showing a lot of libraries being used by running processes is normal at this stage. you'll have to log out of KDE, and back in to see if everything works as it should.
