When I first installed 13.2 on both my laptop and desktop, everything went fine. I could access the installation media on download.opensuse.org, add repositories. Everything went smoothly. Then over a period of time, I could not access the installation media on either. I tried to install 13.2 again on my desktop, but I’m getting most of the same problems. I seem to have access to the standard repositories but cannot add repositories, installation media not found again. When I try to upgrade my standard install, I’m also getting these cannot access installation media messages. This cannot be right.
Could it be my download was corrupted? It seemed to download fine, install on the DVD just fine. Checked the media fine. I ask because the d/l says the the DVD is 4.7GB, but the download file was 4462MB?
But why would my system go from updating normally to not accessing the install media at all.
My system is in a bit of a mess at the moment. Any help would be appreciated.
A good starting point is to display your current repositories which would also indicate whether they are configured for access and/or auto refresh. The following displays that information plus the location of the repo ( the -d )
Simply saying that something does not work, or that you can not do something gives almost nil information. Always explain what you do, what happened and what you thought that should happen. And we prefer computer facts to go with your story when that is possible: prompt, command, output, next prompt copied/pasted from the terminal window in between CODE tags (you gee CODE tags in your post by clicking on the # button in the tool bar of the post editor).
Sorry. I was in quite a hurry last night. I was taking a trip to another country. I took my laptop. There is nothing wrong here. My updates appear to be installing fine. So if there fine from another ISP, but not on my ISP. It suggests to me at least that my ISP is blocking something. What could they be blocking?
Again, saying that something is blocked is a conclusion. It is not the facts you see. Describe the facts as you see them. The story should go something like: I use YaST > Software > Online Update; then … ; and then I get the message: …
We realy are not clairvoyant, nor can we look over your shoulders.

We really need the exact sequence of things you do and actual error
messages, not your recollection of them.

OK. I try to document it better. But it’s not going to be for about 3 weeks because I won’t get home until then. So I cannot replicate the problem from here. But it seems to me that if my laptop is working overseas but not at home, it has to be something with my internet connection, not with openSUSE 13.2? Also. If it’s still happening when I get home I don’t have any easy way to log back in here and provide the description you require, since my desktop/laptop wont be working
WHY? You only reported problems in connecting to the online repos. Not about your laptop not working at all (again a very vague description that could mean anything from no power to fingers frozen to no internet connection to …)

Ok, will wait till you can provide actual data
