OpenSUSE Install :: Crash During Update - RPM Failed Error
Jan 1, 2011
So I installed this system with the net install disk. I really don't want to do that again. It said it needed one update shortly after install and I figured that a net install would pretty much be up to date and I would be fine to wait on that for a day or two. Wrong. I used bit torrent for about 20 hours and downloaded ~60 GB's to the external hard drive. After a while while clicked the little update button closed every thing else then hit apply.
Walk off, come back and the computer is completely non-responsive and the monitor is not getting a feed from the tower. Not even any num-lock blinky light action on the key board. I gave it a minute or two to show any kind of life then turned it off. It came back on well enough to get online and post this but, like the title indicates, that package manager appears to be broken in some way. In Debian based systems there is a command that clears this up. Is there an equivalent for this distro?
I attempted to finish the update but got this error:
Code:
installation of package failed.
Subprocess failed. Error: RPM failed: error: package NetworkManager-glib-0.8-7.4.i586 is not installed.
Why not just disable that update and see what happens? That's what I said; heres what happens:
Code:
Installation of package failed.
Subprocess failed. Error: RPM failed: error: db3 error(-30987) from dbcursor->c_get: DB_PAGE_NOTFOUND: Requested page not found
error: error(-30987) getting "" records from Requireversion index
error: db3 error(-30987) from dbcursor->c_get: DB_PAGE_NOTFOUND: Requested page not found
error: error(-30987) getting "" records from Requireversion index .....
The above pertains to a fire fox update of some kind. I still have the install disk handy but would rather not wait the 3 hours it takes to download the packages. How I can fix this. I switched from Ubuntu to SUSE because it is supported by online learning soft ware I have access to.
Today i upgraded my system and started getting error when i update, install or remove a package. The error isn't restricted only to one repository so i thing something is wrong with my system.
Download (curl) error for [URL]... Error code: Connection failed Error message: Failed to connect to 2a01:e0c:1:1598::1: Network is unreachable
I read somewhere that I should deactivate IPv6, which I did with no success. It seems to happen since I upgraded gnome following this link : Archive:GNOME 2.30 - openSUSE My Internet connection is of course alive and working.
The red updater icon alerted me to about a dozen patches, which started to install, then halted with an error: Download failure from download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.2/repo/non-oss. When I try to update repositories, the same error recurs for that repo and also for .../oss and download.opensuse.org/update/11.2/,
If I attempt to "register for support to get update repository," clicking on Configure Now and Next produces the same three error messages: "Failed to download", one for each repository. The screen then returns to Registration, with another error message "an error occurred while connecting to the server". Clicking on the Detail button show exactly "ERROR:"
This AMD desktop machine with this install of 11.2 has updated many times in the last few weeks. Has something changed? The update servers do respond to a ping, so they are up and apparently I have connectivity.
I am having an issue with KPackageKit, actually 2 issues but one makes it unusable. The major issue is that when I go to apply the updates I get the following error message (at least here are the details of the message)
I do not run my connection through a proxy and my internet works correctly. This is on a laptop I upgraded using zypper from 11.3 to 11.4 (I did the same with a desktop which does not have this issue). zypper refresh successfully refreshes the repositories, and the various Yast repo tools all work correctly. Additionally after I am shown the updates and am prompted for root pw, the packages will no longer show up for a while, each time it tries to look for updates the message comes through but they will show up after a while again. The other issue I have is that it requests my pw multiple times, this also happens on my desktop that actually will update. I get prompted twice, they are immediate and back to back. This one is a little minor annoyance but there should be no reason that it needs to make this request multiple times.
Subprocess failed. Error: RPM failed: installing package xen-4.0.0_21091_06-0.1.1.x86_64 needs 27MB on the /boot filesystemI seem not to be able to change the size of the /boot, but 11.2 loads okay but not 11.3There only 19MB left from 66 and I can't make it bigger, I hope there is someone thathas seen this. I would like to see some of the update with XEN.
I was running Linux Ubuntu 10.4 and used my Firefox browser to find info on osteoporosis for my wife. I entered the following search string in Google search: osteoporosis reclast problems. At the very top of the returned results page was a sponsored result with a simple link: Reclast.com (WOT had it flagged with a green=OK icon). I clicked on it and immediately a bizarre page appeared. It said that my computer was infected with a long list of various viruses and malware. Several of its child windows were flashing and, most strange, one of its windows had a progress bar and said it was searching my Windows c:/... directory. I don't remember the whole pathname, but it included the words "..user" and "Microsoft". This I interpreted as very suspect since, when running Ubuntu, there is no such directory, although I do have Windows XP installed on its own partition so I can dual-boot.
The warning page also insisted that I needed to click on a link it provided that it stated was necessary to fix the problem. I didn't do that, because at this point I suspected that this was a dangerous page and I would possibly be inviting some malicious downloads if I followed the instructions and clicked the offered link. Instead, I used a kill utility to kill the entire Firefox browser ap. Firefox went away and I then ran Firefox again. The same warning page immediately appeared. Again I killed Firefox. I then decided to reboot Ubuntu to see if that would correct the problem. That's when things got worse.
I have a dual-boot system with Windows XP, Ubuntu 9.10 (2 kernels available), and Ubuntu 10.4 (3 kernels available), with recovery mode choices available for all the Ubuntu kernels. When I tried to reboot, the grub menu appeared like normal. But when I selected my default Ubuntu 10.4 choice, the boot process seemed to run normally but stopped at a splash page with a violet background and "Ubuntu" in large type with the five dots below. And it stayed there; the boot process never continued. The first time this happened, it did do a fsck of the HD, but then stayed hung at the splash screen. I tried to reboot again several times, but got the same result, except there were no more fsck checks that ran. I even left my computer on all night, in case the boot process was doing some type of lengthy processing in the background. Eight hours later, it was still stuck at that same splash screen. I tried booting into the other grub choices. Windows booted completely normally. I ran a complete virus scan while booted into Windows, which found nothing wrong. I then tried booting into my Ubuntu 9.10 choice. It also booted completely normally (which is how I'm writing this post). However, ALL of my three Ubuntu 10.4 menu selections hang at the Ubuntu splash screen I described above.
Next I ran the recovery mode menu choice for my Ubuntu 10.4 kernel. That worked OK. While using that, I ran the utility to repair all packages, which seemed to rebuild everything. I also ran the choice to update grub, which seemed to run OK. Still, I was unable to get past the frozen splash screen when I tried to boot my 10.4 kernels. Finally, I highlighted the Ubuntu 10.4 menu choice and pressed (e) to edit it. I removed the "quiet splash" options and then tried to boot. Much processing went by on a text screen and, in a short time, I was left at a login prompt on a terminal. I was able to login OK and the terminal mode seemed to work fine. I checked around and all the file system seemed to be there OK. But no GUI (it normally boots into the Gnome desktop).
Booting again into my Ubuntu 9.10 choice, I confirmed that the entire 10.4 file system is there and appears normal. I can access all the files and all of my data is still there intact. From the terminal I tried running several commands. (I also have the KDE desktop installed, although I normally work with Gnome). One possible clue to the problem is, when I tried to run Konsole from the terminal command line as a test, I got the following message:
Code: KUnique Application: Cannot find the D-Bus session server: "/bin/dbus-launch terminated abnormally with the following error: Auto launch error: X11 initialization failed" I checked and found that there is no "/bin/dbus-launch" file in either of the 9.10 or 10.4 filesystems, which seems strange. It seems that, since that bizarre virus warning page and my kill of Firefox and a reboot, the boot process fails to initialize the GUI mode. I have no idea why this is so, and my multi-boot system had been working fine for a long time.
I've posted this question already on opensuse@opensuse.org, however perhapsthat is not the right mailing list, while this forum is dedicated to such questions.And there seems to be much more activity on this forum then on the general mailinglist ---- and I hope to get some answer sooner than later (don't know how to proceed).I ran an update from 11.3 to 11.4, using the 11.4 64-bitDVD, and additionally Internet sources.When it then came to reboot, I got a screen

I am using OpenSuSE11.1 very frequently I need to install and update the software and packages.but I am getting this error: Download failed:File '/repodata/repomd.xml' not found on medium URL...
I ran 11.1 security update today, now the system will not recognize most of my hardware, will not enter X,, how can I recover or revert back? I have hardwired and cannot get the network card to work,,,errors at boot indicate a problem with modules....this all occurred after rebooting from today's update??
When I try to run the Online Updates to the system through Yast I get the following errors for each package:

I'm running OpenSuse 11.1 (this may be the thing that causes me to finally update ) with KDE 4.4 (specifically, 4.4.4 release 5). Recently (maybe the past month or so... give or take a week or two or so... first time I really remember it happening is when I realized they changed the repository for KDE 4.4 from factory to stable and switched them) >90% of the things I try to install via YAST fails with the following error... this example is me trying to upgrade avidemux from the Packman repository.
Code: Error: RPM failed: warning: /var/cache/zypp/packages/Packman_Repository/x86_64/avidemux-2.5.3-4.pm.5.1.x86_64.rpm: Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 9a795806 error: %post(avidemux-2.5.3-4.pm.5.1.x86_64) scriptlet failed, signal 11 Oddly enough, the main avidemux package threw the error, but the avidemux-qt4 package didn't. I've tried doing
When the RPM runs it come up with this error. How do I install the required dependencies? I have added more repositories, but still there are a few dependencies missing. Is there a zypper/sudo -get or something available? Opensuse 11.1 Gnome
getting that message repeated few times after trying to update opensuse 11.4 kde "(<unknown>:8952): Gtk-CRITICAL **: IA__gtk_notebook_get_tab_label: assertion `GTK_IS_WIDGET (child)' failed" I changed the windows decoration from oxygen to laptop and back to oxygen and since then I am getting that message
I just installed opensuse 11.4 64 bit. Compiz and everything was working fine on my ati card (mobility 2600) with the default radeon drivers. I added the gnome 3 stable repo, updated fine. But when I rebooted I get booted into the fallback with no 3d effects and it says "gnome 3 failed to load" What gives? The drivers were working fine with full acceleration. I know gnome 3 works on this card, I tested it on the fedora live cd just fine.
I am a total newbie to Linux (I've only been using Ubuntu for a couple of months) and decided to buy openSUSE and give it a try. So I inserted the disk into my computer and accept the terms of service and stuff and then it said that it failed to excecute bcdedit.exe. I'm trying to install openSUSE by Windows 7 by the way. I've searched the forum and found a tutoiral, but it was for Windows XP which is totally different to Windows 7 and not even the application names are the same in the CP.
I have a few questions on installing of mydns on page-5 of Till's guide: (The Perfect Server - OpenSUSE 11.1 [ISPConfig 3] - Page 5 | HowtoForge - Linux Howtos and Tutorials)
Nothing to do. Used zypper dup to upgrade from 11.3. Still have boot problems (will open another thread), but had major problems upgrading timezone. File downloads would reach some percentage of completion, then B/s would slowly reduce, to zero. Upgrade would halt until manually aborted. Solution was to manually download 5 timezone files and install them in a directory repository. File download did not specify just the timezone file, but also a part of the directory. Could this be part of the problem? example: ./rpm/i586/timezone-2011d-0.2.1.i586.rpm instead of just the file name.System is a Dell 3000 (Pentium 4, 512MB memory).
I tried installing the RPM from tcpflow website. error: Failed dependencies: libpcap.so.0.6.2 is needed by tcpflow-0.21-1.i386 I installed libpcap1-32bit, but doesn't help. I tried added soft-link to libpcap.so.1.0.0 from libpcap.so.0.6.2 to workaround, doesn't help. hen I DLed the tarball, ./configure gives an error, even after including --with-pcap=/usr/lib64/libpcap.so.1.0.0 checking for --with-pcap option... configure: error: /usr/lib64/libpcap.so.1.0.0 does not exist I CAN'T install the rpm, I CAN't compile from source. I can't find this program on any suse repo. I need to use this prog -- what can I do?
I tried KDE 4.4. I'm back to using KDE 4.3.5. Very bad experience for me, maybe it's just my system openSuSE 11.1 on AMD x86_64 with 4gb memory. Dolphin was unusable. Deleting a file cause it to crash, go in to a directory with a large number (20,000) of images and it would hang and eventually crash. PIM has removed some of the features I used, main one being ability to add Custom Fields to Contacts and assign categories.
In general, the whole thing was slower, not faster, probably because now it requires Neopmunk to be running and the Akondi server. I'll wait a while and try again and see if it gets stable in first update.
For some reason I was trialing a SUSE 11.1 SP1 version for a while and somehow I have NO clue it attempted to change itself to a OpenSUSE 11.1 System. I have no clue what I did, please don't ask Now though I have been successful in turning into an OpenSUSE 11.2 system by changing the repositories to OpenSUSE 11.2, doing a "zypper refresh", "Zypper in Zypper", "Zypper dup -d", "Zypper dup". I also did a repair and refreshed the base packages with an OpenSUSE 11.2 DVD and that seemed to help also. The only thing it seems I can get right is that yast/yast2 give me this error: Download failed: Failed to download ./repo/repoindex.xml from https://nu.novell.com/?cookies=0&cre...NCCcredentials
I'm currently running 11.3 and decided I'd try upgrading to 11.4 following the instructions here: SDB:System upgrade - openSUSEUnfortunately, my attempts are defeated at the point of trying to refresh the new repos; I get the following message (for the oss repo, in this case):
With 11.4 replaced by 11.3 in the repo url, it refreshes just fine. The only repository that works when I change 11.3 to 11.4 is the Packman repo. I'm not really sure why the connection fails for 11.4 but not 11.3!
Further info: I have an old router with no IPv6 support, but have IPv6 disabled system-wide. I can enter the url for the repositories into firefox and they come up just fine - it's only with zypper/YaST that I get the above error message.I also tried upgrading using the network CD but ran into the same sort of problem. In this case it may be because the CD installer doesn't disable IPv6. (I didn't want to download the DVD at my connection speed, and the KDE live CD is not listed as suitable for upgrade).
After the lastest update 11.2 also suffers from the problem already reported here for 11.3. I am lucky to have two linux partitions and was actualy able to boot into the second partition. From this second system I could repair this or at least a quick-n-dirty fallback to be able to boot.
1. Copied the 2.6.21.12-0.2 version for initrd and vmlinuz from /boot to /first_partition/boot 2. Copied the /first_partition/boot/grub/menu.lst.old to /first_partition/boot/grub/menu.lst to reset to the old menu.
After boot the system could start but modules were not loaded.
3. copied /lib/modules/2.6.31.12-0.2-desktop from the second partition to the first. 4. The same for /usr/src/linux-2.6.31.12-0.2*
Now my system will boot and start modules such as network and sound. Still, was this correct? I don't know for sure if there are some issues that I haven't discovered yet. And obviously, what will happen with future updates (either kernel or other)?
I was trying to update (from 11.0) to 11.3. Booting from DVD, selecting root (after "show all partitions", because none was offered at all), there is a message "No fstab found." and then "Failed to mount target system".fstab on target root is definitely readable and OK. (this is a dd copy from my current system, which is fine.). The target root fs is ext4 (seems ok, see y2log):
I have installed Suse 11.3 on my computer yesterday but since then I have been trying to update it but unable to do so. Everytime I try I get this error message: "system management is locked by the application with pid 6953 (usr/sbin/packagekitd). close this appliaction before trying again."
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?
