Yast Repositories

English Applications
1

I am running Suse 11.1.

I do the following:

Click on Software Repositories
Click Add
Click Community Repositories
Click Next.

I receive an error, “Unable to download list of Repositories or no repositories defined.”

in the /etc/YaST2/control.xml the external repository is:

download.opensuse.org/YaST/Repos/openSUSE_111_Servers.xml

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

11.1 support has ended

What repo do you want?

This is still happening with 11.4. When I try to add the community repositories I get the same error message as the OP got on 11.1. In my 11.4 /etc/YaST2/control.xml the external_sources_link points to:

http://download.opensuse.org/YaST/Repos/openSUSE_114_Servers.xml

But when I try to access that link with a browser it gives a 404 error. If I try to walk to it directory by directory it fails on the initial “YaST2” directory, which in fact does not exist.

Do I need to file a bug on this or is it a temporarily hosed server setup on the suse end?

This is a newly installed system, and I have not done anything with the repositories other than try to add the community ones.

That looks OK
Do you know what repo you want to add?

7

Well, I was hoping the program would work correctly and give me a list to choose from. Packman, Nvidia, Mozilla, etc… would be nice. There is undoubtedly a manual way to add them one by one, but shouldn’t the “add” button work properly?

8

It should work

Lets try the multi-media Oneclick
Choose the gnome or kde to suit you
Multimedia in One Click

If that doesn’t work, let me know

That did work… it installed everything but vlc, which generated an error I did not record because I don’t care about vlc anyway. But all the other stuff installed.

It looks to me like the instruction in the control.xml is wrong or the server is missing some directories.

10

I used that oneclick today and had that error with vlc too

I’m not sure why vlc has been removed from packman, something I have to check on.

Anyway. Make sure your system is updated

su - terminal

zypper up

Yeah, I updated it twice before posting my report. This looks like a bug to me.

I just reported a bug, 690974

Thanks for your help.
