Uninstall Nouveau and/or resolve updates error

English Install/Boot/Login
1

Hi to all!!!:slight_smile:
This is my first post here and on an OpenSuse forum.

I am new to OpenSuse and I work with a very old but fantastic! lol!] pc.

ASUS ULV50VT.

Installing OpenSuse all worked fine, and I skipped the Nouveau drivers installation, but erroneously with the automatic updates I’ve installed them.
[It was impossible update the pc without Nouveau becouse otherwise no possoble updates were done :frowning: ]
So now I can’t no more do software updates.

The error raised up is:
Mesa-dri-nouveau-21.1.1-278.2.x86_64 requires Mesa = 21.1.1, but this requirement cannot be provided
Mesa-21.1.1-278.2.x86_64 requires Mesa-dri = 21.1.1, but this requirement cannot be provided.

Why can’t I exclude mesa driver from updates? The error rise up anyway! :-(.

How can I resolve this issue?

Thanks a lot in advance!!!

Thanks for your reply, Sauerland!

Mmmh,

I don’t use command line, I’m using the tool from KDesktop [Tthe Circle icon with an up arrow inside].

Is there a command to launch in order to obtain the info you need to help me?

Lauching udates I receive this error:

The error raised up is:
Mesa-dri-nouveau-21.1.1-278.2.x86_64 requires Mesa = 21.1.1, but this requirement cannot be provided
Mesa-21.1.1-278.2.x86_64 requires Mesa-dri = 21.1.1, but this requirement cannot be provided.

Thanks a lot!

Have I to do

Need you the list of package that sys have to update?

Thanks
BottyE[/QUOTE]

Please use only Code-Tags, the small # in the list, no color, its for me difficult to read.

Update in Tumbleweed is only done by:

zypper dup

Also:
If your native language is different from English, please use:

LANG=C command

f.e.

LANG=C zypper dup

You get it now for this command in English and can post it here.
Not everybody can read all different languages.

I see at least 3 problems in your previous posts.

1- Apparently you are using Tumbleweed. With Tumbleweed the only working method for upgrades is

zypper dup

2- Apparently one (or more of your repositories is not configured correctly:

**localhost:/home/bottye #** zypper up  Recupero dei metadati del repository 'openSUSE:Tumbleweed' .......................................................................................................................[errore] 
Il repository 'openSUSE:Tumbleweed' non è valido.
[https-download.opensuse.org-1d237fa9|https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE:/Tumbleweed[b]/dod/] Non sono stati trovati metadati validi all'URL specificato

If you need help with that please post the result of:

zypper lr -d

3- The M[FONT=monospace]esa-dri-nouveau package is locked to an old version and cannot be updated or removed and no compatible Mesa_xxx is currently available in the repositories.
Remove that lock and/or uninstall [/FONT][FONT=monospace][FONT=monospace]Mesa-dri-nouveau and then retry the system upgrade.[/FONT][/FONT]

At the moment I have non particular problems about Nouveau/Mesa, only update ones…

@Sauerland
Thanks for all new command that I learn!

For monochrome text I have to paste it in a txt editor
Is there a command for display output commands only in monochrome?

Thanks

Not sure that this is going to work since repos will be renumbered after a removal, but using the reverse order should work, as in:

zypper rr 15 12 10 9 7

Not sure that this is going to work since repos will be renumbered after a removal, but using the reverse order should work, as in:

Normally after the command is closed…

So

zypper rr 1 2 3 4 5

should work.

It looks like you are using KDE and the Konsole terminal emulator.
Konsole lets you copy/paste also the color information of the text it displays.
Other terminal emulators, like X-term or Gnome-terminal show colored text but only copy/paste monochrome text, so you might use another terminal emulator if you need that.
Or you can select the colored text in the Forums editing window and format it to “Automatic” color (the big A with drop down menu in the first row of the editing buttons).

Is here that I never must choose 1 option?

Is the 2 the best solution to choose?
Whats for ''Choose from above solutions by number or skip, retry or cancel [1/2/3/s/r/c/d/?] (c): ‘’

  1. Yes, the command completed successfully as @Sauerland suggested.

  2. If you look for “non standard” packages e.g. here https://software.opensuse.org/package/libreoffice you usually find a “1Click Install” green button that automatically installs that package in your system, but at the same time it adds to your list the repository that stores that package, unless you use the option not to do so. That way you end up with countless extra repositories unless you do some housekeeping from time to time and you may get “update errors” as a result.
    Nothing really bad with “1Click Installs” if you understand what you are doing and remove unneeded repos afterwards.

  3. Repo # 5 is not needed after initial install (libdvdcss has not been updated for ages).
    Repos # 6 7 8 9 are likely the result of “1Click Installs” and while they have not given “update errors” so far, I wonder if they are really needed.
    I would suggest removing or at least disabling all those repositories unless you have a good reason to keep them.

  4. The correct solution is typing “2” so that you “remove lock to allow removal of Mesa-dri-nouveau-21.1.1-278.2.x86_64”.
    With option “1” you keep obsolete packages that are not compatible with the current Mesa and this is likely the source of your HDMI problem.

  5. Choose option “2” as written above, let the upgrade to complete and try again. If you still have problems maybe open another thread in the “Hardware” subforum.

Well…

Gulp!

From 1 to 4 is the same but with only a different Repo?
Similar for x64 (how can I verify the right to choose?) for 7 to 10

6 uninstall Nouveau letting the previous general drvs?

b)
3) [from previous post]
So, if I correctly understood I have to do:

zypper rr 9 8 7 6 5

in order to remove that repos,

3a) but if I want to disable them?
3b) if I need to re-enable them?
3c) if I have to add a repo? Where can I find the right path?

c)
Sys pup up an err msg:

System management is locked by the application with pid 409 (zypper).
Close this application before trying again.

How can I correctly close zypper?

Sorry to bother you!

Tnx Tnx Tnx !!!

3a) but if I want to disable them?
3b) if I need to re-enable them?

This Repos have no valid URL so you need to delete them.

Please show the complete output incl. the complete input line and not only a piece of a command.

PS:
less Repos are often more as you can see…

So only OSS, Non-OSS, both Update Repos for the 2 Repos and Packman.

These 5 repos are necessary.

Maybe someone is saying you do not need the Packman Repo, but that depends on if you want all codes or not.

Post also:

zypper lr -d

zypper ll

One step at a time please; I support what @Sauerland wrote, but if you are unsure you can disable those repos and think again later:

zypper modifyrepo --disable 9 8 7 6 5

Then you can choose option 6 ( deinstallation of Mesa-dri-nouveau) or 10 ( allow installation of Mesa-dri-nouveau-21.1.2-279.2.x86_64download.opensuse.org-oss ) depending on your preference.

You can only have one instance of zypper running, so if you have another in a second terminal you have to close it (option “c” cancels the upgrade and closes if you are unsure).
