Attachments: output of zypper up command

Description Kenneth Corbin 2013-12-14 18:19:14 UTC
Created attachment 571815 [details]
output of zypper up command

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/31.0.1650.11 Safari/537.36 SUSE/31.0.1650.11

This is failing on several levels.  Every time I try to bypass one issue it fails at another.

Original problem.  Selecting the update software from within the KDE notifier fails.  Something about unexpected errors and user cancelled installation.  Don't recall exact details.

Next, run the online software update from within yast.  Fails to launch

Next, run yast2 from command line this still fails, but displays
Run command: /sbin/yast2 online_update &
/usr/lib/YaST2/bin/y2base online_update qt
/sbin/yast2: line 375: 11683 Illegal instruction     $ybindir/y2base $module "$@" "$SELECTED_GUI" $Y2_GEOMETRY $Y2UI_ARGS

Running 
/sbin/Yyast2 online_update
myself gives the same error.

Next I edited /sbin/yast2, found line 375 and added an echo line in front of it.  Now when I run it I get
Run command: /sbin/yast2 online_update &
/usr/lib/YaST2/bin/y2base online_update qt
/sbin/yast2: line 376: 11683 Illegal instruction     $ybindir/y2base $module "$@" "$SELECTED_GUI" $Y2_GEOMETRY $Y2UI_ARGS

That hits my level of incompetence in tracking that down further.

BUT.  I really wanted to update this system, so I tracked down the zypper documentation and entered 

zypper up

which also failed after generating a lot of output 



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open yast2 from command line
2.Launch Online update

Actual Results:  
Nothing happens, yast2 online update fails to run

Expected Results:  
Should have launched yast2

Hi, thanks for reporting the issue, but we would need to see the yast logs, see here how to get them: http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Bugreport_YaST . Thanks.
