Can't run updates.

English Applications

Just now when trying to install updates, using Apper, it fails with an error message, the detail of which is : “Installation aborted by user”. I have run FSCK on all partitions, the results indicate no problems. What would I try next?
Regards

Hello,

open a terminal and test the following command:


sudo su
zypper up

When did you get the error-message (download, installation, after special packages)?

Why are you doing

<code>
sudo su
</code>

There is no need.

Simply run

<code>
su -
</code>

and don’t forget the trailing “-” as it is very important to be using
root’s login environment and not your own.

That’s an ubuntu trick.

You are right. I have learned that by a colleague, who is a Ubuntuuser.

I can assure you that

sudo sudo su

does also do the trick. And you can make that still longer. Without much benifit though. rotfl!

Hi
I ran the following:

rpm --rebuilddb
zypper clean -a

Then checked for updates. All installed without a problem.

Many thanks to all
