Not able to update Suse11.
Hey all,
Installed Open Suse11 a week ago. have been using Gutsy till now. When the software updates are available and it shows in the tray, I just left click it and ask it to update system now. But it gives me an error saying " Failed to update system:Authorisation could not be obtained". Any one can help me on this on what suse means about this? |
I haven't seen that problem so I am just guessing. Make yourself a member of the "wheel" group.
Can you run "kdesu yast2 online_update" successfully after entering the root password in the prompt that pops up? |
That should be the issue with normal user but why if I login using root user?
|
Another issue is that I am getting the following error. I can understand basically that repositories are being used by other resource, but how do I get how to find which resources are using them.
The error when I want to do online update "Accessing Package Management Failed:Another process is accessing package database. Package management can not be used now" |
I've never logged into the kde or gnome as the root user.
|
The SUSE updater runs automatically at boot. If you try to run YaST while the updater is running, you will get the error about another process accessing the package database.
|
Hi, You probably shouldn't log in to your desktop as root as a general rule. If you log in as a user do you have any of these problems?
|
I know I should not be logging as root in gnome and I do not. I usually log in as normal user. But because I was having problems updating it, I tried logging in as root.
|
Also, I want to know if there is any way I can skip those updates that need reboot.
