online Update not working, internet works

http://forums.opensuse.org – Hi there! I'm very new to Linux. I tried to set up my internet connection using the network manager and not the classic iufp method. At first it just didn't work but after deactivating IPv6 I got it working: firefox can connect to the internet. What troubles me is the online update with Update Applet. The following message pops up: "Error: packageKit error repo-not-available: Failed to download /media from http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.2/repo/oss/" Also when I go to Yast->Software->Software repositories I get the msg: Systemadministration is blocked by PID 2459 (/usr/sbin/packagekitd). Close the application and try again. Using the command "sudo zypper refresh" creates the same message. I spent already hours trying to figure out the problem without luck. Any help is appreciated! Thank you. (Distributions)

Hey everybody!

I'm in the process of updating a computer from openSUSE 10.3 to 11.2 KDE4. I did a clean install of 11.2, but kept the /home partition from 10.3. I now have a variety of problems in 11.2, but I will focus on just one here: software management/online update.

1.- sorry if my english is too bad but my native lenguage is spanish(chile) 2.- i need help to resolve this problem, i can't update opensuse 11.2, becouse show me a download error...i tried do it manually but still give me that error. i opened a terminal and they show me this,

#zypper up

I need to install Yum, but does not connect to the server.

Code: baraghost:~ # sudo zypper install yum Loading repository data... Reading installed packages... 'yum' not found. Resolving package dependencies...

Nothing to do. baraghost:~ #

Here is the list of Zypper

Code: baraghost:~ # zypper lr -u

Hi, After I installed opensuse from DVD, I wanted to add KDE and Mozilla repos with priorities like this:

Code: linux-q1du:/home/baris # zypper lr -d

Hmmm - I just checked my repository list to make sure I was keeping extra repositories out of the regular lineup ("enabled"). I noticed something - somehow I have two, and sometimes 3, of what seem to be the same repository - with slight differentiation in the URL.

Example: the OSS repository. Exists as -

Hello all. Quickly; Coming from Fedora, I am new to openSUSE and I am currently trying out 11.2. So far so good until this morning when I encountered this error message.

"PackageKit Error repo-not-available: File '/content' not found on medium 'http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE:/11.2:/NonFree/standard/' "

New install of 11.2 32 bit. Installation went fine, but when I got to update or install new packages, I get this error:

Subprocess failed. Error: RPM failed: error: db4 error(-30987) from dbcursor->c_get: DB_PAGE_NOTFOUND: Requested page not found error: error(-30987) getting "" records from Requireversion index

hi guys,

i have just installed OpenSUSE 11.3, and tried to add software repositories and do online update, but it always failed because of this problem :

File '/repodata/repomd.xml' not found on medium 'http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.3/repo/oss/'

I am using Yast on OpenSuse 12.1.
