When
I booted up this morning I got this message: "It appears
that ZMD is not running" and the automatic software
updater is not functioning.
I am not an expert
user and would like to know what caused this, what does
this mean to my system, and finally what I need to do to
get things running again?
I
don't know why it just wouldn't start. Have you tried
rebooting? Someone else should be able to use their
expertise here, I just did a simple Google
search.
I have little experience with Zmd, sorry
and good luck!

I
appreciate your answer and of course I re-booted, in
fact a few times.
I tried to manually update zmd
and rug through YAST, however, on the subsequent boot it
still gave me the same message. The software updater
opens a window and tells me that "it appears that zmd is
not running"
If I try and start the software
updater through Applications - System - Configuration -
Software Updater, it also gives me the same
message.
If I try to open a terminal and start
zmd, it gives me that same message.
Sorry,
I have not had time to fool with this the last few days.
As I posted earlier, I tried Bigtom's suggestion
using the su command, and it did not work. I went back
in today and logged in as the root user, then tried it
again. This time the first command yielded an OK or DONE
all the way on the right side of the screen.
The
second command was "chkconfig -s novell-zmd on" I did
not get an error, however, it just returned me to the
prompt on the next line. I assumed that the command was
completed.
I wasn't really sure what to do next
so I re-booted and got the same error message about ZMD
not being
installed
Bigtom,
I am sorry to say that I couldn't figure out when to
press esc to give me what you described. However, I was
able to go to today's zmd log file and get the
following:
05 Sep 2006 17:13:11 INFO Daemon

It
seems ZMD is running (or at least started). Can you
check this by running
Code:
sudo rczmd status
If
it returns 'running' then it is in fact running, and it
may be a bug to report to opensuse.org, otherwise we can
manually start it and see why it is not
running.
The escape thing I spoke about you can
press at any time during boot, all it does is drop the
bootscreen and allow you to see the terminal underneath.
