I recently got ADSL (after waiting for many years) and when I ran Leap for the first time it automatically downloaded software updates. Just now I got notification of 103 updates, but this time the download failed, reporting “dependency resolution failed…more information is in the detailed log.”
Where is this log? I see nothing in /var/log that indicates “update.”
All distros that have replaced the sysVinit subsystem with systemd now store all logfiles (including the system logs) in the “journal” which is a database instead of flat files.
You access the journal using the command “journalctl”
You can invoke journalctl specifying entries for any boot sequence (including last), over a date and time range, keywords, etc. You can Google “journalctl” for blog articles people have written about their favorite command combinations, you can also read the MAN pages or take a look at the “help”
journalctl --help
HTH,

Use Yast online update. It will tell you where the conflict is.
Here, I had to deselect the “chromium” update to avoid problems. It seems that “chromium-ffmpeg” in Packman is a tad behind “chromium” in the main repo. It will probably be fixed within a day or three.
Thanks. I did a YAST update. There are now 7 updates that relate to Chromium that will not install, so I’ll wait a few days for these to be fixed.
Although I have been using SuSE since 6.1, this is the first time I’ve been able to update by internet, so this is a new trick for an old dog. In my 20+ years of using Linux, I have come to value a system’s administration tools. Old Linuces like Caldera Open Linux and Libranet Debian excelled in this feature, but I also got used to YAST, so I’ve stayed with SuSE.
