Hello everybody,
I use opensuse 10.3 with KDE 3.5
It’s been a couple of hours since I started an update with the update desktop applet. It’s been a month or two since I last updated my system, though I don’t think it’s normal; the update is stuck at 0% for hours.
The CPU usage is always at about 50%, so I guess there must be something going on…
Do you have any ideas what’s going on? Any additional info needed?
Thanks in advance for your timetrying to update through Yast directly may give you some more info (or will plain work 
Uwe
When it comes to massive updates, I find that using the software install in YaST itself to update things to work a lot better. Try that and see how it goes.
If you have the internet connection for it, look for the zzzAll package group, right click a package on the left and find upgrade > all in this list. That is usually what I do.
Also, from your other thread, don’t forget to make sure you get the Amarok update.
Hi again, thanks a lot for your replies in both my threads!
So I tried to update with yast and I saw what the problem was,
there were (there are actually) some dependency conflicts which I didn’t manage to solve… I was also afraid to take serious steps when resolving like “delete this” etcetc.
Btw, Is it just me or there is a dependency hell when it comes to installing and updating? 1 in 3 times I try to install something, there is always a problem. Also, I found the package system in Suse extremely super-slow (at least in comparison with ubuntu and debian that I’ve been using for a while)
Anyway, don’t want to start a comparison thing or something and of course suse is one of the most popular distros around and there is a reason for that, but I was sort of disappointed with the package management and updating stuff…
