Hi, I’v been using OpenSuse 11 for about 5 days on my HP dv6552e laptop
iv got everything going good till today when it froze twice and had to
do a hard shutdown. After rebooting i got this error when trying to
update or initialize the Yast installer…

There was an error in the repository initialization.
‘PK_TMP_DIR’: Failed to cache repo (1).
History:

  • ‘repo2solv.sh’ ‘-o’ ‘/var/cache/zypp/solv/PK_TMP_DIR/solv’
    ‘/var/tmp/TmpDir.1tC2U6’
    /usr/bin/repo2solv.sh: line 34: cd: /var/tmp/TmpDir.1tC2U6: No such
    file or directory

Thanks and im not too n00by to Linux now, iv used Ubuntu and Linux
Mint

One of your partitions may be fed up. Or getting mounted read-only due
to errors.

Even if free software were crap, it should still get our preference
over the non-free crap secreted by IT corporations.

That could be true anyway to do something like CHKDSK/f/r in it on the
partitions ?

Well, yes, the command would be

Code:

fsck -A

but it must not be run on a live filesystem. See
Code:

man fsck

. The solution would be to run it at system reboot – only I don’t know
how it’s done exactly, you’ll have to google for it …
