I just updated a load of packages on 12.1 (KDE) - this was an old workstation which hadn’t been used for 9 months or so. Anyway, now when I reboot automounter isn’t working correctly. I’m on an NFS network, so we have a bunch of mountable directories. The weird thing is if I do
sudo /etc/init.d/autofs restart
Then all the relevant directories are mounted correctly. I can also see that automounter is running immediately when I log in
ps -A | grep automounter
but despite this its not doing its job.
A number of directories are also always mounted via hardcoding values into fstab, and these appear as soon as I log in. So - mounting itself seems fine, and, apparently, autofs is fine too, but it’s just not turning on correctly on restart or login (whenever it should be run). Any ideas?
I mean - as far as I know they stay up for a while (12.1 support ended like 3 weeks ago) - 11.4 are still up - but they’re not being updated any more. I was just updating before I did a distribution upgrade to 12.2.
maybe, but the NFS mount points defined in fstab mount fine.
I tried to update to 12.2 (although I don’t know if I’ve been successful yet) so I’ll see if that fixes things.

11.4 gets its updates from the Evergreen project, it is supported. 12.1
is not supported at all (since 2013-06-13), the repos should disappear
any day.
If you want to use 11.4, you have to ADD the evergreen update repos to
the standard 11.4 repos (inc. frozen updates). Please read: openSUSE:Evergreen

Well now I’m confused - I’d always been under the impression that Evergreen was providing crucial (i.e. zero-day, bug-fix) updates - not that it was a replacement for a *missing *11.4 update repository - is the 11.4 OSS repository not still going strong here; Index of /distribution/11.4/repo/oss
Same exists for 12.1 and 12.2, but maybe I’m missing something - I’m relatively new to openSUSE.
Sorry - all I meant by this was that I wasn’t physically at my workstation (which is at work, I was at home) - sorry for the lack of clarity, but thanks for the links
ANYWAY despite all of this updating to 12.2 solved everything and now all seems to be well again. Weird.

No.
To keep 11.4 you have to keep the standard oss, non-oss, and update
repos from 11.4, and ADD the Evergreen update repo too. You need those
two update repos; although one is frozen, you absolutely need it.
Yes, evergreen only provides crucial updates, and they go to their
update repo. But you also need the standard update repo because any
package change you apply (manually or automatically) needs all the
updates that were published during these two years.

12.1 you can not use, update to any newer version ASAP. Yes, the repos
may be there for some time, but don’t count on them. As soon as the
mirrors complain about wasted space they’ll get moving and delete those
repos.

Well, if it was a bug it was solved on a later version. Not that weird
