Grrrr… openSUSE 10.2

After praising openSUSE 10.2 in my last post, I of course ended up somewhat disappointed today … starting up my PC and lo-and-behold syslogd, klogd and most network connectivity broken. GrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrR! For example, error messages such as the following, when trying to ping an IP address:

Socket: permission denied

However, dig and smart were working in terms of network connectivity so I was able to update my system, in the hopes this would resolve the problem. However, one kernel update and a reboot later still the same problem.

Fortunately, after a more careful read of the boot message I realised the fault is with apparmor and disabled this… rebooted and all is fine. Whether I need apparmor really or not I don’t know but all is fine so far and the system is running fine again.

… well, here’s hoping that all will be ok, but I wonder what is in store with the next update.
