Software :: Online Updating SuSE - Kernel Rpm Could Not Be Installed
Apr 9, 2010
There was a kernel update included in my last three attempts of online updating SuSE 11.2 -- all of which which ended with an error, something like kernel rpm could not be installed (one can't copy that out of the YAST-window ).
The new kernel-relevant directories are there under /boot, the original 2.6.31.5 is gone. This produced lots of errors during the next boot until I manually re-assigned links in /lib/modules pointing to the new kernels. "uname -a" shows my old kernel (see also this thread: [url].
I ran "rpm --rebuilddb" and re-tried the installation, all to no avail.
In the message box during install came about 1,5 MB of errors, a brief extract is shown below:
Code:
Any ideas how to proceed? Can one delete the rpm database and rebuild it from the online repositories?

I can see this error occurring in multiple past versions of suse. The answer seems to involve recompiling the open source version of VBox, but this is surely overkill. Isn't there a way to either a)get the right kernel version of VBox for 11.3 or b)set whatever permissions are required.
In all the answer so far I can't see a solution I can understand for these combinations, sues 11.3 and VBox 3.2.8. The error is consistent, and if the install doesn't work properly (it took my a few attempts even to install it without error messages) then surely its an issue either for Oracle or Suse? It runs ok but hwen trying to fire up a newly created XP VM this error message occurs trying to switch from W764bit to suse11.3 64bit

After a lot of work I succeeded in making my Icon 225 Mobile Broadband working under Linux, so I immediately took advantage of this by updating my system.But unfortunately not everything went well. I have to say something:in Linux when you solved a problem another one pops up. And this is what happened to me. The first problem was the following error message: PackageKit Error repo-not-available: File '/repodata/repomd.xml' not found on medium [URL]
It seems that in the Online update system there is a error: or the address is wrong or something is not working as it should be. Anyway I got over it and the system started to download the updates and so on. At the end the system asked me to reboot and I did it. Unfortunately a cold shower was waiting me : the KDE interface did not work anymore, the only thing I could see was something like a fog all around the video. The mouse cursor was a dark square. I was still able to hear the welcome sound so I deduced that only the graphic interface was corrupted. I rebooted again and when the system show me the booting choices:
1) Desktop opensuse 11.3-2.6.34.7-0.3
2) Failsafe opensuse 11.3-2.6.34.7-0.3
3) windows 1
4) windows 2
5) Floppy
I chose this time the second one (I think it is like a safe mode)and fortunately it worked but the system looked like having lost brightness (I think this choice change the card driver). Now I do not know why the KDE inrface got corrupted, because I download everything from the opesuse website, so no strange repository has been installed. I checked in the little manual supplied with the DVD and I found the following suggestion: If the KDE interface got corrupted please try to remove the cache files of the KDE desktop using the following command rm -rf /tmp/kde-user /tmp/ksocket-user

Recently my computer was infected by several viruses and my brother cleaned it up and installed SuSe for me. He also put windows xp back on my system for our children. I am having a terrible time installing our Dell 924 printer. I have it installed for windows, but cannot get it to print for my Linux system. What am I doing wrong? Can anyone give me some direction?

to get flash 10 working. I just decided to update to 11.3. Bought a 8.0GB USB stick to copy files to. USB DISK icon on visible on Desktop. mounted on /media/USB DISK Clicking on device properties it is read only. I can change permissions but that is only temporary. Looking under my computer it is formated as vfat device name is /dev/sdb
I can't copy any files to it. Can't see in terminal even being root as well. Almost started the Partitioner in Yast but didn't want to accidently crash the system. That WOULD be my luck Can't find a way to format it via GUI interface. Can I use something like fdisk in terminal. I guess I need to format it as ext3.

I have OpenSuse 11.3 KDE installed in dual boot with Win 7. Have used Ubuntu in the past and remember that whenever I started my computer with Ubuntu, i had a black colored screen which showed various kernel options. So in short I was sure that the Ubuntu installation had updated itself. On the contrary, whenever I start Suse 11.3 KDE, it shows me just one option of Suse 2.6.34.7-0.7
I have doubts, is Suse up-to-date, and also there is mention of KDE 4.6 on kde.org website.
But my operating system information is as follows:
KDE: 4.4.4 (KDE 4.4.4) "release 3"
OS: Linux 2.6.34.7 -0.7 -default i686
System: openSUSE 11.3 (i586)
I have also seen that on 10th Mar 2011, Suse 11.4 will be realeased. Will update/ upgrade of this installation work in this direction?

Yast online update is installed, but no repositories were configured. On previous installations, they were.
Is this a known problem, and how can I pull in the full list?

I hope this is the right forum in which to post this but I am currently running SUSE 11.2(I know im a couple versions back, its a long story but this box has been in storage for awhile) but the problem I am having is with updating SUSE and accessing the repositories through the Yast Software Installer. When I open it I get several variations of this message:
Download failed:
File '/repodata/repomd.xml' not found on medium '[URL].. I think this must have something to do with an old repository not being up but im not exactly sure how to fix this.

I tried to update my eclipse to the Helios version through a PPA, but I wanted to use it for programming in C / C++, in order to integrate it with the NS-3. After updating CDT installed the plugin but could not create project in C / C + + because they did not appear in the File -> New -> Project. I decided to return to the previous version to see the eclipse in the repositories by default.I did:
Code:
sudo apt-get purge eclipse*
sudo apt-get autoclean

what is the correct process for updating an application installed via the './configure, make, make install' sequence?For example, I have an app checked out via a git repository, on which I run the 'make install' on to install. Then a few days later I run a git pull to update to the latest release, do I just run the same sequence again or should I 'make uninstall' first?

Upgraded Wheezy to Jessie, by changing my apt sources to point at stable instead of wheezy. Ran upgrade, and dist-upgrade, all fine etc.
Then tried to update the kernel by installing linux-image-amd64 package .. seemed to work fine, but after a reboot my kernel version still says 3.10.23
What have I missed?
Code: Select allroot@hostname:~# apt-cache search linux-image
linux-headers-3.16.0-4-amd64 - Header files for Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64
linux-image-3.16.0-4-amd64 - Linux 3.16 for 64-bit PCs
linux-image-3.16.0-4-amd64-dbg - Debugging symbols for Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64
linux-image-amd64 - Linux for 64-bit PCs (meta-package)

I use gentoo linux and some minutes ago I thought to upgrade my kernel version. I had 2.6.36-r5 and I want to set 2.6.37-r4. After merging gentoo-sources I did this:
# cd /usr/src/linux
# make menuconfig
# make && make modules_install
# mount /boot
# cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/bzImage-2.6.37-gentoo-r4
# module-rebuild populate
# module-rebuild rebuild
At the end I changed the /boot/grub/grub.conf file. The last two commands are for reinstall modules that are not included in the kernel source. After rebooting the system this is what it printed out and stop loading.

I have successfully installed a dual boot system with Fedora 14 on drive sdb and WIN7 on drive sda, with Fedora 14 being the major (default) OS. The system is an AM3 with a quad core CPU and all SATA drives. The drives are set to IDE mode, and I am wondering:-
1. What are the benefits of AHCI - will it improve the speed and responsiveness of my system? And
2. If it is worth installing, do I have to do a complete re-install of the OS, or is there some way of updating the installed Fedora to include and operate with AHCI mode drives?
I'm quite happy with the system as it is now, but if there is a way to squeeze extra speed out of it I'm willing to give it a go. And never having been involved with SATA drives and Linux previously, I'm completely ignorant on the subject.

I recently installed Debian "Squeeze" onto a Thinkpad T420, alongside Windows 7. During the installation Debian was unable to detect my NIC (Intel 82579LM), but otherwise the installation completed normally. I've installed the required e1000e drivers, and added "alias eth0 e1000e" to the modules file. Using lspci I can see that the computer detects the card, but still fails to load the drivers for it.
I'm at a bit of a loss, as this is my first time using Linux. After a bit of searching it looks like the 2.6.38 kernel resolves the issue with this card, so I guess that's my next step.Unfortunately all the installation instructions I've found assume an internet connection.Is there a simple way to update the kernel without a connection, or -even better- an install disc with 2.6.38 so I can start from scratch?

Just recently i updated fedora 12 which is of kernel version 2.6.31.5-127.fc12.i686.PAE. Then i rebooted the machine and got two options on boot loader i..e
Now when i choose the newer kernel, booting stops with a blinking cursor but i can boot and logged in on the older kernel. i even add 'nomodeset' and pressed escaped key but to no avail. Actually just when gdm is about to be loaded, i think it crashed.

I have just downloaded CentOS 5.3. The kernel version is 2.6.18.xx However, when I updated the kernel version has not changed. Still 2.6.18. Unless something went wrong with the updates. The most up to date kernel is 2.6.31.xx I was thinking shouldn't it update to this new kernel? On my Fedora 12 I have 2.6.31. However, I thought the kernel of 2.6.18 would have been updated as least a little.

I am running a Fedora 13 x64 . The latest kernel I get is 2.6.34.8 in testing from yumex. However I want to install 2.6.37 How do I do it, without compiling from the source (which I think is beyond my scope at this point). I am more concerned with this because I am planning to get LMDE for my notebook but I came to know that it runs 2.6.32 kernel, so would I be able to update it? There's also the Liquorix kernel that I have read about, with many people saying that its better for daily usage scenarios--is that true, and is there some major difference in code?

I updated my system to the latest version - 5.5. After that I could not install VirtualBox. I was thinking, trying to fix, googling... it over for hours... Finally I found the reason. VirtualBox installer searches for the source kernel at /lib/modules/2.6.18-194.17.4.el5/build, and it can not. Look into /lib/modules, I have some kernels such as:
- 2.6.18-194.17.4.el5
- 2.6.18-194.17.4.el5debug
- 2.6.18-194.17.4.el5xen
... and more old ones.
At that time, I booted on 2.6.18-194.17.4.el5 kernel. But inside that directory, there is no build or source (directory/ file). Then I looked into 2.6.18-194.17.4.el5debug, and it had. So I typed: ln -s /lib/modules/2.6.18-194.17.4.el5debug/build /lib/modules/2.6.18-194.17.4.el5/build

I am an old Debian user, ho just reinstalled it again to see how it evolved since my las version (3.2). I am sharing it with Arch Linux, And decided to let bot of them. I am using GDM compiled and configured in Arch, and removed GDM2 from Debian (i just like the easy menu.list from the old GDM). The problem is that when i update the kernel, it didn't fing GDM and drops an error message. I tried removing the distro-preconfigured Kernels, as i compiled my own 3.0.0-rc2 Kerenel, but i cant delete the previous ones. Now everytime i do an install or uptgrade, apt-get drops wastes some time, and drops an error message:
[code]...
What can i do? i googled some similar errors, but where just messed up mirror.lists, or similar, i know it isnt the cause of fail.

I install the fc11 from Fedora-11-i386-DVD.iso. The software update has just updated my fc11 kernel from 2.6.29.6-217.2.3.fc11.i686.PAE to 2.6.29.6-217.2.7.fc11.i686.PAE. If I boot using the new kernel, The screen resolution is not correct (everything gets bigger) and the screen goes into blank white screen suddenly after log in.
I have a geforce 8600gt card and installed its driver (for pae kernel) as suggested on this link: [URL]Everything goes well untill I update the kernel.

Yesterday I updated openSuse 11.3 on my laptop. Kernel update from 2.6.34.4-0.1... to 2.6.34.7-0.3-desktop was included. Yast performed fine and at the end it stated to reboot for using the new Kernel. So I did, but what a bad surprise!! Normally the Grub menu should have been updated, but not this time. Fortunately I know how to handle this, but not all users will be able to resolve this problem, so here's what to do if this happens to you: You will run into the Text console saying: Press any button to continue... Before doing this write down on a piece of paper the text lines visible on the screen, starting with:
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.34.4-0.1-desktop root=/dev/disk/by-id/ata-Hitachi....... resume=/dev/disk........
or whatever it reads for your system. You will need this info to edit the menu and succeed to boot. Now press any key and you will get the Grub menu. The standard option will be highlighted. press "e" to edit that option. Next you will see the Grub menu lines
First press key "o" to add a new line, select it by arrow down, press "e" to edit the line. (In my case it was not possible to edit the full original line, but only the added options like vag=0x317) Enter the line you wrote down, but change the kernel's version number to the new one Should look similar like:
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.34.7-0.3-desktop root=/dev/disk/by-id/ata-Hitachi.......
(it works if you only use the part before "resume=/dev/disk....") After finishing hit Enter and you will turn bach to the Grub menu lines. Now move with the up/down arrow key to the old line, press "d" to remove the old line. Next move to the line with "initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.34.4-0.1-desktop", press "e" and edit the line so that it reads: initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.34.7-0.3-desktop press Enter to move back to the Grub menu lines. Now press "b" to boot. After booting log in, open your file manager as root, browse to /boot/grub and open the menu.lst file to edit and change the kernel old version numbers to the new one. Save it and next time it your machine will boot normally again.
