.rpm files wont install at all ! URl access error

Sorry if it’s a noobish question, but we are here to help eachother :slight_smile:
The problem : Every time I try to install something, I get an error message saying :
Cannot access installation media
hd:///?device=/dev/sdb1
(Medium 1).
Check whether the server is accessible.
Show details says :
Empty destination in URl: hd:///?device=/dev/sdb1

What I gonna do ? I’m new to Linux.
Is it a NTFS access problem or something like that ?

Hi and welcome to the forums :slight_smile:

Don’t worry I don’t find it a noobish question :wink:

Any way please post output of in the terminal (In kde it is called Konsole):


zypper lr -d

I typed it into Konsole and got this :

| Alias | Name |Enabled | Refresh | Priority | Type | URI | Service

6 | repo-source | openSUSE-11.3-Source |Yes | Yes | 99 | yast2 | http://download.opensuse.org/source/disribution/11.3/repo/oss/ |

Ok in Konsole again become root first like this:


su -
Password:
**Type in your password and press [ENTER]**

If you have become root you should have a prompt similar to this one:


**linux-apns:~ #**

Once you have become root do this:


zypper rr 2

That should fix the problem.

It said this at first :

System management is locked by the application with pid 6632 (/usr/lib/YaST2/bin/y2base).
Close this application before trying again.

Then I closed the software manager and tried again and got this :

Removing repository ‘openSUSE-11.3 11.3-1.82’ [done]
Repository ‘openSUSE-11.3 11.3-1.82’ has been removed.

And it worked !!! THANK YOU SO MUCH !!! GOD BLESS YOU !!!

No Problem :wink:

Have fun :slight_smile:
