Chris H Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 The blue arrow has reappeared on my desktop today. Clicking it leads me to read that the downloaded files will be around 3.1 Gb is size. :wacko: Shurely some mishtake? Last time I used the blue arrow before it was pulled it only took an hour or two.

adamw Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 Seems high, but it's *possible*. Do you have a lot of packages installed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris H Posted November 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 Left it running overnight, got down this morning to discover an error popup. Clicked ok, can't remember that the error was and it carried on with downloading 106 packages. Made the mistake of trying to open firefox and it basically stopped responding. Pulled the plug and restarted. Blue arrow reappeared but only wanted to install 3 exra packages. Any idea what happened to the other 103? Is there a command line urpmi I can use to force the rest of the update? Ta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris H Posted November 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 The blue arrow has now reappeared and normal service is being resumed, so to speak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 Yes: urpmi --auto-select and then let it update. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamw Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 Did you have to resort to urpmi, or did the graphical tools get it right in the end? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris H Posted November 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 As posted earlier the magic blue arrow reappeared and did the business! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
