issues updating

When I type in zypper dup to update/upgrade packages and the system I get a lot of

GLib-GIO:ERROR:gdbusconnection.c:2279:initable_init: assertion failed: (connection->initialization_error == NULL)

I got those when I first installed suse and did the updates and then I added repositories like tumbleweed and gnome 3 and now when i do zypper dup I get hundreds of these “errors”

‘zypper dup’ + conflicting repo = a confused/sick/broken system…

once you add Tumbweed, you are no longer running openSUSE 11.2, 11.3 or
11.4, instead you are running Tumbleweed and should take your troubles
only to the Tumbleweed forum <http://tinyurl.com/3ljwanm> and/or the
Factory mail list <opensuse-factory+subscribe@opensuse.org>

um i would gladly if these issues started during the tubmleweed updates. how ever before I added any extra repos (this includes tumbleweed) these were my errors when running zypper dup.

Don’t su, but “su -”.

Do what Carlos wrote it is essential to use “su -” and for further
information look here:
