I’m trying to do a brand new fresh install from the downloaded DVD image (burned to DVD) with opensuse 12.1 on a i7 system and I keep getting error messages when the installer starts trying to install the packages.
It seems every second package or more is giving an error messages that include the following words (not necessarily in this order… I am having to write this from different machine): install of package xyz failed cannot unpack rpm read only. I abort the install because there are so many packages failing that I can’t believe that it will succeed.
I’ve seen some other posts when similar issues happening when installing packages on functional systems (as opposed to during the middle of an install from dvd). The answers seemed to be to modify the repository information. But as far as I understand things, when I am installing from the DVD, the repository can only be the DVD, and the DVD is read only so I can’t change that. Or am I missing something?
I can tell you that the network is not set up yet if it is trying for some reason to look online. But why would it do that when it seems the system looks like it does the network config after the packages are installed?
I am hoping one or you can help me out. I used opensuse in the past and like it, and just wiped out a kubuntu install I was frustrated with in order to install this. I am not trying to install into the same partitions, I’ve told the installer to format everything.
Also, when the installer booted from the CD I told it to verify the installation media and it came back OK.
Nope, can’t be that. About 500 packages install correctly before I start seeing errors. If I were trying to install to something read only nothing would install. I am going to re-download the install iso and burn a new install DVD to see if maybe it didn’t write it correctly (even though the media verification said it was OK). I’m thinking the verification might only check to see it isn’t scratched anywhere and there could still be errors in the burn process that created it). I still have a couple of hours left to download so I’ll post again when I try it and give the results.
But for the record, I set up raid 1 with 2 x 1 TB drives via the onboard intel matrix drive configuration utility in the bios (I have used this before with Suse and it worked fine). Even though it is two disks I configured it to be two drives in MD: I set up a separate 6 GB raid drive across the two for swap, and another 950 GB drive with the remainder. The 950 GB drive was further subdivided to allow a 50 mb boot drive (the installer set that up). On the remainder I set up one LVM group and logical volume for one big root partition. I don’t see the point on having separate root and home partitions. It is my dev machine so I don’t want to fart around worrying about how much space I have… just use what’s there Then I said, “install”. Just give me the default packages and I’ll install everything else after it is up a running.
It shows something over 1500 packages to install. When it gets down to about 1000 or 1100 packages it starts choking and spewing error messages. So in the meantime I’ll try a new install DVD.
So after downloading again it installed fine. Sort of fine. The wlan configuration pooched. >:(
After setting up the interface including where it successfully scans for my access point, once I click on next it wants to install the iw package. The problem is the installer wants me to insert ‘Disk 1 of the Install…’ or something. Of course I only have one disk, the DVD. But it doesn’t like the DVD and has a pop up saying insert ‘Disk 1’. WTF? Gah! What is going on?
For the record, the first install opensuse DVD I downloaded was from the suse site where you also have the option of the build your own distro blah blah blah. This time I downloaded from the opensuse site. And the install was slightly different. e.g. the choice between partition and LVM setup was side by side the first time, and the options where vertical from the opensuse download. Strange.
And I use raid 1 because I have had drives fail before and don’t want the hassle of reloading everything if that happens again. Yes I know, RAID is not a substitute for backups. But RAID is an excellent redundancy measure. And if backups were the only thing that mattered, major corporations and businesses everywhere would not build redundancy into their systems. All you need is one drive failure in your life to like using RAID. And yes I do backups to external drives too.
I don’t want to run cat cables all over the place so no, I didn’t connect it. When I installed kubuntu last with the same wireless card, it installed fine and connected fine. I didn’t need a wired connection, even on the install and initial update. And I don’t think I should have with this either because it was able to show me the various access points, including my router, around me.
After telling it to skip the iw install, I tried to install it after the first boot. It installed fine from the DVD at that point and I was able to get connectivity after configuring the card through the yast administrator app.
But that didn’t end the network issues.
After struggling like hell to get all the different packages (e.g. restricted) set up and installed I rebooted the machine. First thing here is that the reboot stalled after what looks to be the dismount operations. I hit escape during the shutdown and watched as it ended processes and started the unmount operations. After it unmounted a number of partitions it just stopped without shutting down. It stops scrolling (and everything else) right after the last umount command. So I had to push the power button.
About wlan:
When I restarted the computer I had no network again. I went into yast and deleted the configuration for the wlan and reentered it and I got connected again. I suspect if I just did a restart on the network manager after reboot it would work too. But that is ridiculous that not only will the system not shut down properly, that I would have to restart the network manager every time I turn on my machine just to connect to the internet.
Please someone let me know what you might have heard in regards to resolving these issues. I will also try a different card to see if that helps. Fortunately I have a spare.
I need to be able to use my system. I don’t have time to be resolving issues all the time. Already my experiment with opensuse has cost me a day of work. I want to switch over because ubuntu is no longer going to support kde. As it stands, if I can’t resolve these issues, I’ll be forced to use ubuntu since I know pretty much everything I need works and I can set it up in a few hours (including restricted formats, tv tuner, development libraries (I keep the tv up while I program ) etc.
But I would rather use opensuse than ubuntu. If I can.
IMHO you missed some things:
1 - If you configure wlan through Yast, that means that you set Yast to use ifup (traditional method). This means the Networkmanager won’t work. Same thing on Ubuntu.
2 - Whether or not you go back to Ubuntu is your decision. If you want to use openSUSE, then go for it, we cannot make you like it or not. Please understand that you are talking to 100% volunteers, giving their precious time to help others, not some service centre.
3. Caf4926 asked you to post some info, he’s not doing so because he likes to know, he does so trying to get things clear, so that he can help you solve your issues
4. On the request of CD1: post output of
zypper lr -d
And remember: if you move house, it takes time before you find your way around in the dark. Accept opening the wrong doors in these early stages. If you want something that “just works”…
So here are messages log file excerpts showing what the network is doing when it logs in etc. When notable message looks like this (not sure if it is important but it looks like it):
I’ve had to break the posts up as the system won’t let me post all the log info in one message.
I also posted the result of /sbin/lspci -nnk after I installed the new wireless card after the log info on wlan0.

--------------------------------------------------------------
now I have network connectivity again.
This is a lot of log dumping so I won’t be surprised if it is too much for anyone to look at but I hope one of you can give me some insight on what to do.
I know you are volunteering and that is why I am trying to be polite. Meanwhile I sit and fume here. But there is no point losing it on you guys since you are trying to help. I just mention this because I want people to know that I really want to make opensuse work. It is one of the last bastions of kde-ness. So thanks. I posted a **** load of info again… and will try to help you guys help me as much as possible.
OK, I’m passed the CD1 issue now. If yast is there to set up stuff, isn’t that what I’m supposed to use? Not being flippant, just confused.
I’ve used opensuse in the past before like I said, and liked it. Otherwise I wouldn’t have tried it this time. I’ve been around a long time, so I have tried a lot of distros. From Slackware, Mandriva (when it was still Mandrake… paid cash for it), Redhat (paid for it), Fedora, CentOS, Suse (paid for it), Ubuntu, Kubuntu, and OpenSuse. So I’m not a newbie either. I actually used to program on HPUX superdomes. I know suse in the past and it’s why I’m here again.
So now it is the network being down every time I boot the system. Posted what I know. Now I’m just saying, help!
So you removed the repo entry pointing to the CD/DVD device? My guess was that “zypper lr -d” would show that it was still listed and active.
It may very well be that your system has issues with “systemd”. To find out, hit F5 when in GRUB, and choose "Sysinit V " from the list, then boot and let us knwo whether the issue with networking persisted. Also check all the settings in the networkconfig, your wireless may not be set to acitivate at boottime.
Booted with system 5 just fine. Interface came up perfectly. Rebooted and it stuck mapping or mounting device by id. Didn’t matter whether I told it to use 5 or systemd. I’m downloading 11.4 and will install that once it is done. It will take a couple of hours. This 12.1 and its switch to systemd does not seem to be tested well enough to be called a stable release. I see there are others who are having a great deal of difficulty with it too and I took the idea of going to 11.4 from them. Maybe in six months. Right now I need something that just works. I had 11.4 installed a while ago on 32 bit laptop and it suited me. Hopefully it works just as well in this 64 bit workstation too.
Thanks for looking but I don’t want to waste your time as I don’t think it is worth the effort. Regards.
Then I said, “install”. Just give me the default packages and I’ll install everything else after it is up a running.
