YaST error.
Ok, so whenever I need to install something on YaST now, everything seems to be going well.. the downloading pop-up windows, checking repositories and OSS cache and things like that...
Then after a little while suddenly everything stops and a window pops up saying "Error" with a little red sign with a white dash icon. Beneath is a blank white box where details should probably be listed, but they're not. It's always empty. It just says Error and I have no idea why. What's going on? Am I missing something? |
What if you try to install from the command line using zypper? First you can see if you get errors as well (in this case the problem is related to the package management in general and not only to Yast) then most likely it is more verbose about what is going on. You can start from a basic command like
Code:
zypper info coreutils Code:
zypper install <package> |
Quote:
Code:
Information for package coreutils: Code:
package <package> not found |
Well... package <package> obviously is not found! ;) When you see a string embedded in < > signs when you receive instructions, usually you have to choose an item by yourself (in this case you had to specify any package of your choice). Anyway, it looks like there is no problem with the package management itself. Any error message in the log files, after trying with Yast?

I put <package> in place of the actual package I tried to install. No, no error message. There was just the pop-up window itself, no details after that. |

Almost the same thing was happening to me and it ended up being a memory problem. Before getting too carried away run your mem test.
