I have just upgraded to 11.1 from 11.0 yesterday, but I encountered some major problems:
Inability to mount any external media even from the terminal; running mount from the terminal does not display any error message, but it just sits there
Inability to view home directory through Dolphin,Konqueror, and other applications
Running dolphin from terminal generates this:
What’s interesting is that I can view directions within the home directory, but not the home directory itself.
No wireless Internet access; KNetworkManager claims that NetworkManager is not running; Configuration through YaST’s ifup option does not solve the problem
My first one-time major problem was the booting freeze at the line “Starting jexec services”; I forced the computer to reboot and the error disappeared
By the way, my /var/messages/log continues to output the message:
The solution for me was to disable the service jexec in Yast2:System Services(Runlevel). This only fixed the external mount and viewing home directory problems.
I hope this assists people upgrading from 11.0 to 11.1.
Search the forums for that jexec services error; it is cropping up elsewhere and it may be useful to know about it and what is being done. Having said that, getting various unrelated and random errors often indicates a borked installation, and often bad media as the source problem - so be sure to take all the patient steps at doing the md5sum check on the iso first and then checking the burn from the boot menu.
All of my problems are fixed!
For those of you who were experiencing the problem “NetworkManager not running”, go to YaST2:Network Settings and uncheck Enable IPv6 in the Global Options tab(It seems as if the web is not ready for IPv6).
Synopsis: Inability to view /home/example_directory within Konqueror
Solved by disabling the service jexec in YaST:Services(Runlevel)
NetworkManager not running
Solved by unchecking “Enable IPv6” in YaST2:Network Settings.
I suggest to try the command “rcnetwork start” instead. The well-known tool that you mentioned might perform a similar action after the (unneeded) configuration change.
