Today I installed suse 11.1 on my computer. After some time i was able to connect to the internet and the auto update program prompted for updates.
after the updates were installed more updates were prompted. but now i get an error when i try to install them.
edit: the error is "PackageKit Error internal-error: Installation aborted by user "
if i try it manually i get an message “access denied to …”
how can i make my system update normal?
Reboot it. There’s probably some process hanging. A reboot should solve that.
Please note, that the update-applet can block access to the package-manager as well. Disable it, if you want instant access to the packages whenever you like.
i tried to reboot, but still the problem exists
i am sure that update applet is not blocking me to open package manager
i have quit de update applet, but still the same error “access denied …”
after i did not receive any sensefull answer i decided to remove opensuse from my computer and just be happy with Windows 7 lol!

I hope you are happy there.
of course i am
when i get more time fore troubleshooting i will try linux again.
The main problem I have with Windows 7 is the DRM prevents me from doing almost anything with sound. It should be interesting to see how the cross-compiled stuff, such as Audacity, evolves with W7. From what I saw while I was doing the W7 beta, it was almost as good as XP.

unfortunately that usually means exactly what it says: for some reason
you didn’t allow YaST to do all of its stuff, and aborted the
process…most likely NOT by just pushing the “Abort” button on the
YaST window, but some other means…like forcing a reboot or using kill…
i’m NOT sure of the best way to recover from that but i do know that a
huge portion of patience can avoid another occurrence of the same…
see my just posted, too long, pontification on that very subject:

Run ‘zypper update’ instead. Also, make sure you have enough disk space and not at 98-100% full.
I had the same problem on updating, and found my problem was sourced at my boot partition being 98% full and it needed to download a new kernel gz file that pushed it over 100%. Hence the update GUI aborted.
