Opensuse Main Update Repo

On a fresh install of 10.3, I add the update repo and it still says that repo is not added meaning I can't update. Is something wrong with the server?

I got one security update today (via openSUSE updater) and installed it. But I use a mirror.


I just checked the one from http://download.opensuse.org/update/10.3/ and it seems to work.

online update keeps saying no update repo or something found

type zypper -v sl in a terminal and paste the output here for us to see.

Hi, thanks for the reply I am currently adding the same update repo again and once its done I will post the output.

Here it is

khurrum@linux-97o1:~>

even when I enable the repo it still doesn't work

And when you click on the URL in line 10 above, do you get connection?

(Maybe a silly test, but you never know. I do get the dirctory listing of that URL when I click.)

thanks for the reply, yeah I do get the connection. should I try adding via command line?

no luck so far

Here is zypper's output and it may be of some help:
