Description Carl Fletcher 2011-02-25 13:21:25 UTC

11.4 RC2 installed from Gnome Live CD


Example:

I get the same error with all zypper actions. But zypper does work.

Comment 1 Duncan Mac-Vicar 2011-03-18 12:20:48 UTC

Can you reproduce it in the final 11.4 release?

Comment 6 Duncan Mac-Vicar 2011-04-26 07:32:54 UTC

As a workaround, use "su -" instead of "su"
