Problem in updating opensuse 11.4

Hi

I have a problem in updating opensuse 11.4, when I try to update the system the progress stops in the update window, and no updates appear

Open your terminal
And make a

# zypper refresh

knurpht · April 27, 2011, 12:26pm

@Stamos: Are you assuming everyone is running openSUSE with root permissions? The command should be:


su -c 'zypper ref'

Without root permissions, it would throw an error about permissions.

stamostolias · April 27, 2011, 12:30pm

You are right maybe it would better with a

su

Sorry for confusing and thanks for adding.

gropiuskalle · April 27, 2011, 12:32pm

Actually a ‘#’ in front of a command indicates that it should be run as root.

stamostolias · April 27, 2011, 12:33pm

Yeahh. But it would better to write as Knurpht said with a su, because many new users do not know it.

martin_helm · April 27, 2011, 12:32pm

I am not too familiar with the intrinsics of packagekit (that is what seems
to get stuck here).
Can you try an update from the command line and tell us what happens?
Open a terminal and type


su -
zypper up

before you do that you have to stop the updater applet. I hope under Gnome
this works: Right click on its symbol at the bottom of your screen an choose
“exit” or “close” or whatever it is called there.
If you run into a problem report back.
What output do do you get from the zypper command?

gropiuskalle · April 27, 2011, 12:40pm

True. Back to topic.

Thank you all

Try to run the updates, it’s a known bug which is marked as “resolved”, so it should work after updating and restarting your GNOME-session.

Yaser89 · April 27, 2011, 4:13pm

thank you
the problem was solved

This is due to your using “su” instead of “su -”.

No, it’s a bug. It just shouldn’t happen.

The devs say you should use “su -” in the bugzillas I have read.

a new problem
when I tried to update the system

Nothing to do.

stamostolias · April 29, 2011, 4:33pm

Try also graphically(I mean with yast to update).

Yaser89 · April 29, 2011, 4:40pm

In Yast no updates available (0)
thank you

The following package updates will NOT be installed:

mobile-broadband-provider-info taglib

Maybe these packages do not need to install. Maybe operating system has already installed itself. Check also update applet. Go to your system settings–>System management–>software management and check there if software is available.
