requesting help with answering choices during zypper dup

English Install/Boot/Login
41

To rebuild nvidia I’d need to see a login prompt!!

[esc] gets me a fast booting screen of text, alas there are many aborts and fails scrolling past until it reaches
a full stop at:

starting LSB: SuSEfirewall2 phase2
started LSB: SuSEfirewall2 phase2

which of course is most illuminating - not.

Do we have a dmesg folder where I can examine or post the ouput from error laden boot sequences.

I am happy you were able to do a clean install and a TW move - no really, I am, not jealous at all…

I have to stop for tea,

thanks for your patience,

Hugh

That’s the best I can do for this evening - I need fooooooooooooooooooooooooood,

I had a similar error during boot on my box which is hard wired, so it auto configs to ifup. Which is/should be fine. My system did boot though, just with a delay.
I switched to Network Manager and it solved those errors and the boot is quick.
IMO it’s a bug.

So, are you hard wired?

You can edit all this by booting to level 3
Boot to Level 3, then Yast and More… - Blogs - openSUSE Forums

Use yast there to change the setting
see if it helps

44

<<So, are you hard wired?>>

I am hard wired.

I can do nothing more until tomorrow.

I can probably view the presentation.

Now if I read you correctly, the new kernel has already compiled and done whatever it needs to do to be the active kernel and
I am being stymied by a technicality - a bug.

I require sleep now,

thanks again,

Hugh

45

Ah,

I saw the first slide and knew I was on a hiding to nothing.

With my boot being controlled by another menu.lst I do not see a boot screen to pause.

I might have to chroot to the correct partition - and I know how to do that.
If I can’t or need more help I’ll be back tomorrow,

Hugh

46

being controlled by another menu.lst

Explain. You mean not openSUSE?

47

Not really verbose. The option “quit” is not as chatty as “verbose”.

48

Correct - not openSUSE.

My box is a multi boot box.
The operating system with the controlling menu.lst has its legacy grub installed on a flash drive/stick.
For any new install or updated kernel stuff the menu.lst is amended to reflect the updated/changed/corrected first paragraph of the other operating system’s menu.lst.
That is why I tend to use legacy grub even on this new release of openSUSE where Grub2 has been deemed to be the right choice for a default bootloader.
As a matter of fact I allowed one of the new installs to install GRUB2 to the root partition - we had a conversation about this on your how to rescue grub2 from dvd article.
Although in the case of GRUB2 it has to be chainloaded rather than copying the relevant paragraph from my menu.lst of the controlling linux (not openSUSE) install.

I have been doing this for nearly two years now with no problems. The arrival and possible conquering of the linux bootloader world by GRUB2 fills me with dread - but only because I have not yet
studied the limited documentation. When I search fror GRUB2 info on the innernets most up to date GRUB2 info comes from Ubuntu who have imposed it on their user base for some time.

Back to the present. Once I chroot to my borked non booting partition and get into YAST what do I do to fix the network manager? you mentioned that this may be preventing
the boot sequence from completing.

Thanks,

Hugh

49

In Network settings
Switch from ifup to Network Manager controlled

I don’t know for sure this is the solution.

50

Well, sir, in the absence of anything else I will give this a try.

I may be some time,

Thanks,

Hugh

51

I wasn’t as much time as I thought I might be.

here’s how the chroot attempt went

mount /devsda8/ /mnt
mount --bind /dev/ /mnt/dev
chroot /mnt

so far so good. did an ls to make sure I was on the right partition - a file only I know about was listed there.

attempted to start yast by typing yast (gosh it all sounds so easy doesn’t it?)

but get a message about /proc not being bound so nothing happened
other than I tried to run lnvhw while I was there
I think I got about three steps until the lnvhw script also complained about /proc

rebooted out of that and that’s that as far as I cane see.

I have no wish to use up any more of your time or mine for that matter.

I am going to do another clean install - I have a data allowance in credit for this month and I would like you to
cast your eye over the following.

install openSUSE 12.2
when all is complete:
zypper ref
zypper lu
zypper up
or
zypper ref
zypper lu
zypper dup

If none of these is correct then what did you do to
achieve your clean install and TW dup while you were
assisting me yesterday?
I use a cd iso not the dvd iso

Thanks again,

Hugh

52

Clean install
zypper patch
zypper patch
reboot
change repos to TW (but not PackmanTW)
zypper dup
reboot
Add PackmanTW
Install my multimedia

N.B: You can then apply the switch on Packman, but as ‘zypper dup’ is the normal update process in TW, you need to redo the switch each time you update with ‘dup’.
You may also want to use the libdvdcss package from 12.2, then disable it - or download the .rpm manually to install

53

clean install = yes
zypper patch = yes
zypper patch =yes (300+ megabytes; 277 packages)
reboot = yes
change repos to TW = yes
zypper dup =yes

Now before I go any further you might - if you are inclined and still have patience to examinethe following output

Is that what you saw before your successful install while you were helping me yesterday?
Is the new kernel in the list anywhere?

Shall I proceed? Can you check the complete list of repos posted above for errors?

Thank yo,

Hugh

54

I used a gnome install, so it looked a little different, but yes it looks similar.

But no, the kernel is not there. I have no idea why. But you know the method to make that happen. Which you could do after running this.

55

The kernel not being there is worrying.

What did we did yesterday to make the kernel happen left me with an unbootable system. Yes we managed to get this reluctant kernel
installed and then the boot sequence would not complete.

Seems a risky business - ah what the heck, I’ll take the plunge.

Once more unto the breach…

Hugh

56

Worrying… well you seem beyond being troubled by such things.

Honestly, I can’t understand why you don’t see the kernel in ‘dup’. It’s a freaky things for sure.

This experience will have you well placed for further adventure. It’s a great way to learn.

57

Hello, I’m back.

Do you think I/we should ask the Tumbleweed maintainer about this?
There is a thread here where he mentions the new kernel.

What is it called? I’ve done a zypper se kernel- here:

If I knew what to look for I could zypper in the durn thing.

Honestly I am mighty reluctant to enter YAST again.

I will if we can’t do this with zypper,

What say you?

Hugh

Start a new thread in the Tumbleweed section
Explain that zypper dup is not working completely. You could link to this part of this thread too.
Supply your repo list and current status

59

I’ve done that. Feel free to jump in and help answering questions that I
might struggle with,

Hugh

I followed up this with a clean install of 12.2 KDE (Though I use the DVD _64)

zypper patch x2
