Upgrade & installing new packages seems to be causing a system issue (blocking internet)
by varaonaid from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5G37Q)
Hello,
I'm running OpenSUSE Tumbleweed and tried to do a routine update today. It turned out anything but. I ran the update as usual (using sudo zypper dup) and allowed it to do the updates. I restarted and had a warning that the OS wasn't connected to the internet (even though I checked and made sure it was connected via wired, then also wireless as a secondary method). Though the OS showed it was connected in the taskbar area and gave the IP addresses, I couldn't connect to any webpage or urls for anything either via a browser or via zypper.
I used snapper to roll back and got things working again. I figured I'd wait a couple of days to do the full update again but I needed to install docker because I have been working towards installing Homebridge. I tried via zypper first but got some dependencies that weren't being installed so I didn't install and decided to look at the dependencies via YaST. Things seemed to install OK but I also needed to add git-core and podman. When I tried to add these on, I got a number of errors saying that there were problems connecting to the servers (like I wasn't connected to the internet again). I rebooted and got the same error that I wasn't online (though I was). I did another rollback with snapper but now I don't know what to do. It seems that something odd may be happening with these installs and I'm not quite sure what to do. I've not had any issues like this previously (well, once or twice I've had issues when trying to upgrade but waiting till the packages were updated to the next version has always sorted it out). This seems different since trying to install new packages without the upgrade also seemed to cause issues.
Any advice and help would be amazing. Thanks so much.
