Fresh install of 11.4 has problems updating from Tumbleweed repo

English Applications
#1

Hello all,

Brand new openSUSE user and I’ve just installed 11.4 Gnome desktop version. I have made no modifications to the default install, except running update online in YaST (I received some updates labelled as bugfixes).

I then followed the instructions on the Tumbleweed wiki page (Portal:Tumbleweed - openSUSE) to add the Tumbleweed repo using zypper:

zypper ar --refresh http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE:/Tumbleweed/standard/ Tumbleweed

I then ran under su (choosing “a” to always accept the GPG key:

zypper dup --from Tumbleweed

The short version is that updating from Tumbleweed subsequently and consistently fails with “2 Problems”. I will paste the entire terminal output at the end of this post in the hope it makes sense to someone.

If anyone can help me resolve this problem then I’d be very grateful; the Tumbleweed rolling release repo is a very attractive-looking feature, but I wonder if my problem is a known bug, since I’m running a fresh install?

Many thanks,

Alex

Try working in Yast and do this principle but on **Tumbleweed **repo

Thanks for the reply, I followed your instructions and looks like I’ve ended up with a graphical version of the “solving conflicts manually” dialogue that I got in the terminal (screenshot attached).

I don’t suppose you use vmware so

deinstallation of vmware-guest-kmp-default-2010.12.19_k2.6.37.1_1.2-3.3.i586

You’ll probably need to delete the virtual box and the preload packages too

Many thanks, I will try this ^^

Once you do that, you no longer have openSUSE 11.4, you now have “openSUSE
Tumbleweed”, a different distro. Which means that if you have problems you
gave to ask them in the openSUSE factory maillist (per their own
instructions on that wiki page). Not here.

Sorry to be so harsh, but let us have things clear.

This is a very serious change, much more serious than just enabling a kde repo.
