Yast -> installation source -> add -> specify url -> add the one above -> click finish. There is only one other source active (standard update one) and yet, 'installation source' module exits in mere 4 minutes. So, it's slow but works. Online update -> hmm, shows only zypp to be updated? -> click finish and it begins updating all yast packages and finishes ok. Wohoo! rczmd restart -> alt+f2 -> zen-installer -> getting install list -> shows gazillion packages to be updated -> click select all -> install. After a while of resolving we're greeted with this: Unresolved dependencies: Installing NetworkManager-devel-0.6.2-32.11.i586[SUSE-Linux-10.1-Updates] Can't install NetworkManager-devel-0.6.2-32.11.x86_64 [SUSE-Linux-10.1-Updates], since NetworkManager-devel-0.6.2-32.11.i586 [SUSE-Linux-10.1-Updates] is already marked as needing to be installed Marking this resolution attempt as invalid. OK, so this hasn't been fixed and its again attempting to install i586 and x86-64 packages at the same time. So, to the menu to remove all i586 packages manually. After manually clicking away 66 (!) i586 packages we're once again greeted with: Unresolved dependencies: Installing netbeans-5.0-14.1.noarch[SUSE-Linux-10.1-Updates] Can't install patch:netbeans-1451-0.noarch[SUSE-Linux-10.1-Updates] since it is does not apply to this system. Can't install netbeans-5.0-14.1.noarch[20060608-183539], since netbeans-5.0-14.1.noarch[SUSE-Linux-10.1-Updates] is already marked as needing to be installed Marking this resolution attempt as invalid. AH OK. Where did this ghost package come from? Let's remove it and go on. Now we get: Unresolved dependencies: Installing patch:kdeadmin3-1439-0.noarch[SUSE-Linux-10.1-Updates] Can't install patch:kdeadmin3-1439-0.noarch[20060608-183539], since patch:kdeadmin3-1439-0.noarch[SUSE-Linux-10.1-Updates] is already marked as needing to be installed Marking this resolution attempt as invalid. OK; I get it. You don't like supplementary KDE. Let's remove all that. Wohoo! I think it started to do something, it's saying 'installing software'! Only after 20 minutes of vigorous clicking. Hmm, 5 minutes of waiting and progress bar is not moving? Hmm. What's it doing? Let's check with gdb. ps -ef | grep zen-installer jmk 14076 4563 2 18:50 ? 00:00:27 zen-installer /usr/lib/zen-updater/ZenInstaller.exe EXE? EHHHEH. Ok, shall we attach gdb to it. (gdb) attach 14076 Attaching to program: /usr/lib/zen-updater/ZenInstaller.exe, process 14076 0x366d8136 in ?? () (gdb) thread apply all bt (gdb) quit (detached gracefully) Uh, no stack ?? What is this thing? file /usr/lib/zen-updater/ZenInstaller.exe /usr/lib/zen-updater/ZenInstaller.exe: PE executable for MS Windows (console) Intel 80386 32-bit, Mono/.Net assembly Sure thing. How am I supposed to debug this? Anyhoo, let's give it at least half an hour to do what ever it's doing. Will let you know if it ever resumes. -- // Janne --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
