When I use the GUI to update OMA (after fresh installation from USB), I first get 30 updates offered. Installing them goes just fine. BUT then 1583 updates are found but the GUI is unable to show the packages - it just keeps loading and loading and loading (I kept it running for almost a day but nothing happens though I can see in top CPU kernels are being used…).

When I go the urpmi route, it fails after a while due to dependency problems (KDE & lib6). I know there are a few posts about a recent bug which is being solved.

Is there a central topic that I can follow so I can test once more to update OMA once that latest build bug is solved?

I’d love to hear how and when I can update OMA with the GUI as it should (for a fresh system). If somehow somewhere could be a central topic so new OMA users know what’s up and when it’s safe to update OMA (currently I’m at my 4th installation in 2 weeks, often ending up with a corrupt desktop manager or even no windows manager, all trying to solve the dependency problems through urpmi…)

Peace!

Maybe this but not really sure it you case. The log you posted doesn’t describe the issue.

I haven’t experienced such issues, but I only tested in VirtualBox. A log is really appreciated.
