I'm using F14 and when I try to update I get this report-
' no such table: packages'
and when I try using add/remove software I get this
'failed to use search generator: no such table: packages'
what these mean. I don't want to take guesses and do something wrong.

I just reinstalled my OpenSuse 11.3 with the GNOME desktop. As soon as I was done installing and I was on a fresh desktop, I installed the Yast updates that were available, rebooted, and now I can't login to any of my User accounts. Whenever I try to login, it tells me that it is "Unable to Open Session".o any of you know how I can fix this without having to reinstall all over again

I've been an ubuntu user for several years and just installed kubuntu 11.4 this morning. Nice desktop and feel. Easily navigable. I like. But i can't download any packages!
When i try "check for new updates" in KPackageKit i get:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
Over the years i've used [url] to update my system but i get no joy this time.
I'm using kubuntu 11.4 on a fujitsu-siemens amillo pi2530. I've enable the natty universe and multiverse repositries.
I have been running Fedora 15 for a about an month and a week ago I started to get messages on two machines to say it could not update. I am using the "software update" package. I am using Fedora 15 64 bit. Installed from a DVD originally on one machine and the other was updated from Fedora 14. Each machine is on a different network. I start the "software Upates" package. it gets the list of packages to be updated and then when I go to "install updates" I get the following message.
"Transaction error An unspecified transaction error has occurred. Under more details; Could not add package update for fedora-release rawhide-15-3 (noarch) update: fedora-release-rawhide-15-3 noarch" The repository for fedora is active in the repository list.
I am trying to update four OpenSUSE 10.3 servers. This worked once on one server, but I have been unable to repeat that success. I use yast's Online Update to select repositories, but at the end of the repository refresh they keep coming back with 'No active update source is available. Exit Online Update now?' I get this error:
Download failed: File /repodata/repomod.xml not found on media: [URL]
It appears to connect to remote repositories, but always fails. Is it realistic for me to expect to update 10.3, or is it a lost cause? I am not ready to jump to 11 yet, but I am required to update them. I am a newb, so I am not clear on the process. Are package versions locked in place for specific versions of OpenSUSE? If so, how can I find out what the final versions were for 10.3 so that I can at least tell my auditors that they are as up-to-date as they can be?
I've installed opensuse 11.3 on my computer (well actually Ive done it twice, once with full DVD image and once with network install). Everything was OK until Ive made update (yast/software/online update <-- BTW kupdate applet isn't working, just update bar appear and stuck on 0%). i haven't installed any additional packages, only the defaults (KDE desktop). after update only fail safe option is working (booting normally and looks like normal desktop, no visual differences between normal and fail safe booting, if there should been any). When I've tried to find solution for this problem, very ofter answers were -> graphic drivers problem (im using ati hd 4670 AGP <-- yea, AGP . well when i start normal boot green screen with lizard logo appear, then screen goes black for a second or two, then the green screen come again, and after another few second screen goes black permanently with working hdd for 30-40 second (hdd led blinking) BTW i have windows7 pro (booting fine) on this machine too, it was installed as first system on hd0,0. opensuse was installed on stand alone PATA disk (secondary EIDE master, ODD on slave). how to gather info which u all need to get this problem more detailed. PS> sorry for my English, its not my native language.

But then when I plugged it to Windows 7 machine it mounted then I plugged it into another Ubuntu 10.10 machine it mounted so I figured out the there is some issue in the latest update. I have all the VMs in this drive and my main laptop is with OpenSuse 11.4

p.s. I don't want to repartition/format these as they have some data on which I'd prefer not to loose.

My system (recently installed FC12) is reporting that there are 563 updates available. When I try and install the updates I get to the stage of "Getting list of updates" and receive the message "The package identifier was not well formed". The details are "Package_ID cannot not be parsed". It further says that "This normally indicates an internal error and should be reported."

I am new to linux but have install fedora 14 twice on my computer now and about to go for three. The first time I installed it, ran the updates using yum update, downloaded and installed wireless driver b43 then tried to change boot order to boot to win 7 first and thought I messed it up when I did that. It took over 20 minutes just to boot up and log in and about 10 minutes just to open a terminal window. So re-installed it had a friend who is very good with fedora change the boot order, then did the yum updates and wireless driver install again today. Now when I reboot my computer it no longer automatically boots to windows, and does not even give me the option to boot to fedora.
I believe it's the grub menu but the boot menu that I used to get if i wanted to change the boot to fedora is now a different color (white & black) and doesn't list the option to boot to fedora. Currently I do not have the DVD I used to install and was hoping there was a way to fix it without re-installing it. The boot menu does give me the options of hitting 'e' to edit something or 'a' to edit the kernel arguments, and I have no idea what either of them are. But the 'a' does not do anything, 'e' brings me to another menu option with chainloader and rvnotify or something similar. And there are more buttons to edit stuff and 'b' to boot from the choices but they both boot to win 7 not fedora.
I used the zypper dup tool to upgrade my HP Pavilion dv6000 laptop and my display is now broken into columns and partially obscured. I can barely see anything on it. When I ran zypper it stopped about half way and locked up.I then ran it again to completion. At boot, GRUB gives me my startup options as before and is clearly readable with good resolution. When I select openSuse to start it, the screen goes blank for a few seconds and then comes back with the screen problems.
The problem continues all the way into KDE. I have approximately four columns displayed but I can barely see anything. Most of the lower half of what should be displayed is obscured so I cannot load any applications. If I right click, I can make out the dialog box and select the run command. From there I reran the zypper command using the 'zypper up rpm' option and it says "nothing to do" and the "highest update version is already installed."
The display problem also exists if I use the failsafe boot option. I remember having to download nVidia driver last year to get a better resolution, but 11.2 (64 bit) worked great until the repositories stopped working and I no longer was able to load software. Now I can't use the computer to download and burn a DVD version of 11.4. Again, I do seem to be able to use the terminal, so I could presumably fix something with it if I had the right commands and I do seem to have access to the repositories.
First of all after installing i was not able to update my fedora 12 using the GUI version.Ultimately i have done the updation using

Fedora (2.6.31.5-127.fc12.x86_64)

Every time I attempted to run "yum update" dependencies failed to resolve citing kernel version problems. I cleaned out a bunch of old versions of kmod-wl that were still on my system (some dating back to my old f12 install) and still had no luck. Finally I removed kmod-wl altogether so that I could update the rest of my system and hoped I could just re-install it once the update was finished. No dice. "yum install kmod-wl" still produces this message (identical to what "yum update" gave when the old kmod-wl was installed):
Code:
Error: Package: kmod-wl-2.6.34.6-47.fc13.i686-5.60.48.36-1.fc13.14.i686 (rpmfusion-nonfree-updates)

I am not able to connect to network after update F13 to 2.6.34.7-61. Because there is "no netwokr decvice" IAW network manager. There is nothing in system log that abonormal. But, there is a fail initialization in the boot message. "applying firewall rules: iptable v1.4.7:Ip6table-restore: unable to initialize table .filter error occur at line 3 try Ip6table-restore -h or Ip6table-restore -help for more detail"
so, I tried the comment at terminal with root clearance, it just give some feed back about how to use this command. When I tried out other options. none of them work. There is no feed back form the terminal other than previous display and blanking cusor.
I assume it was the firewall preventding me to connect to network. And I complete disable SELinux and reboot. Problem remain, no network device. Check network device driver. There all inplace. Tried using old kernel, unble to boot up X window, presumably old driver has been deleted.
BTW, after two consecutive update failure (2.6.34.7-54 kernel panic VFS? problem, 2.6.34.7-61 no network connection), I assume Fedora Quality should consider review their update release process. Since the probability of fedora releasing bad update is increase a lot after fedora 11.
I'm not able to login after system update tonight. whenever I try to login, the screen goes black briefly and it automatically logs off.
I tried both kernel, 2.6.35.6-64.fc14.x86-64 and 2.6.35.6-45.fc14.x86-64, but failed.
After running update last night from 2.6.35.9-64 to 2.6.35.10-68 my laptop fails to start. Boot process goes most of the way to startup and then hangs just before login screen. Not sure what else to give as far as info.

How do I restore my previous version? I know some people have suggested in the past - just modify the grub.conf but how? When I boot off the cd I only get access to the liveuser disk. I need to have access to my own /boot/grub/grub.conf file.
