Hi.
I’m a newbie. clicked blindly on updates, and have been unable to install software since (succeded with patches etc using zypper). get the following error message:
cat: write error: Broken pipe
YaST got signal 11 at YCP file PackagesUI.ycp:232
/sbin/yast2: line 437: 6615 Segmentation fault $ybindir/y2base $module “$@” “$SELECTED_GUI” $Y2_GEOMETRY $Y2UI_ARGS
yip. i’ve got no idea what it all means. running 11.1 on amd 64 with 4gig memory. not dual booting.
I do hope someone can set me straight.
it seems to me that i muddled through a fix using zypper refresh, zypper search, zypper install and quite possibly zypper remove. thankyou for pointing me in the right direction:P
thanks to both of you for your replies. i’m on a learning curve and even doing the daftest things will teach me something. part of the fun in learning. thanks again. arden.
Just did this “misstake” to. Why would you not click blindly on update? Obviously it’s not a good idea in openSUSE but… Very strange behaviour i think. The way openSUSE handles dependencies just make me wanna cry…
EDIT: The repositories I removed where “Ati Repository”, “Banshee” and “Banshee:Unstable”.
Ati because i tried to one click install it (to no success by the way)
and banshee because it just hang whenever I tried to start it, so i updated to a beta or something (following forum instructions).
Anyway, removed those three and it worked again. Under the tab “Upgrades” I now have like 50 different updates. None of which I can install because I don’t know what depends on what.

well, if you have blindly enabled a lot of different repos and then
blindly click on updates you are likely to cause a LOT more problems
than fixes…
