Free Software Linux

In rare occasions, especially after a power outage or hardware crash, some files on your file system can get corrupted. So if you have a feeling that you do not receive updates anymore (The Zen-updater icon doesn’t change with the exclamation mark for more than one week even tough some new patches have been issued by the SUSE team), your ZMD database may be corrupted. I witnessed this a couple of times with SLED. Here is the trick to fix this issue : From the command line as a root : # rczmd stop (check it has really stopped with ps -aux | grep zmd) # rm -rf /var/cache/zmd /var/lib/zmd /etc/zmd/deviceid /etc/zmd/secret # rczmd start # yast2 inst_suse_register (redo the activation) # rug sa https://nu.novell.com -t nu # rug sub SLED10-SP1-Updates # rug refEt voilà You should now be able again to do and enjoy your updates !
