Can't add official repo

[mrbear]

Hi! I'm using YaST2 to add the repository https://download.opensuse.org/reposi...E:Factory.repo, but it keeps failing with the error:

Unable to create repository from URL https://download.opensuse.org/reposi...E:Factory.repo. Does anyone know why this is happening? This URL is from the official documentation.

When I click on that URL, it does not exist.

Maybe you better explain what you need, so people can help you with that. Remember: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html#goal

A repo URL can always be explored using a web browser,
It appears that this URL contains repos and downloadable ISOs to install various Factory packages.

This part of the URL works... Open it in a web browser and explore...

https://download.opensuse.org/reposi...SUSE:/Factory/

I got this URL from https://software.opensuse.org/downlo...SUSE%3AFactory

I'm trying to install Tilix.

Hi
Factory is NOT Tumbleweed....?

The version of tilix in Tumbleweed is 1.9.3 at present... if you have the standard Tumblweed repositories then just `zypper in tilix`

Can you elabore on "Factory is not Tumbleweed"?

I understand that I'm using the rolling release version of Open SUSE - does that mean I can't add Leap repos?

That's the output of `zypper lr`:

Hi
You number 4 repository is the correct one for tilix.

No, Tumbleweed only, no Leap repositories at all... just the ones you have (and packman Tumbleweed if want codecs).
