Hi!
I tried to create i sym-link libudev-so-0 -> libudev.so.1.4.0, but i accidental overwrite the file.
Is there a way to recover this file? On the DVD its in an RPM-package but Apper and Zypper dont work anymore 
You could try to re-install the libudev1 package directly with rpm, maybe this still works?
sudo rpm -i --force /path/to/package.rpm
Or you can also open the rpm package in an Archiving application like Ark or File-Roller and extract the file.
In the worst case, youâd have to boot from a LiveCD to do this though.
OTOH, the DVD might have the file somewhere on it as well, so just copy it over to your system.
If you donât find it, boot from the DVD to the ârescue systemâ, it should be in /usr/lib(64) then.
So mount your root partition and copy over the file.
As that file should be in the initrd, there is also another way:
Add ârd.breakâ to the boot options, the boot will stop then just before the system is switched to your real root partition.
Mount the root partition read-write, and copy over the file, something like this:
mount /sysroot -o rw,remount
cp /usr/lib64/libudev.so.1.4.0 /sysroot/usr/lib64
Then reboot, and everything should work⌠
Sorry it didnât work. Here is the output:

I told you to re-install libudev1, not udev!
Do that and everything should work, unless your initrd (itâs probably missing libudev.so.1.4.0 as well now) and/or boot loader installation is broken now (if I read your errors correctly, nothing should have been done though). So run âsudo mkinitrdâ afterwards. And maybe enter YaST->System->Boot Loader and press OK to re-install that to be sure.
Sorry! i didnât see the â1â at the end.
I did fix this trough LiveDVD and the lib-file is back again and system is again working.
Thanks for help!
Now i manage to create the right sym-link, but it still refuse to install Opera-Beta-27. It still complain about missing libudev.so.0
I will create a new thread for this.
