I have no idea what to do with this information or how to overcome the problem.
I should also say that I have been living for a week with an error message on system start up with words to the effect of ‘an unexpected error has occurred’. Could this system start-up error have also caused this later problem with YaST?
To me, all errors are unexpected!
Could somebody advise me please?
I’ve had a similar message today. In the meantime I just unsubscribed to the repository until things are sorted. Are you able to access YaST > Software Repositories to do that?
‘Cannot start YaST’. That was what attrackted me to your thread. But you can start YaST. You caa choose Software. It is only when it comes to Software Management that it sucks.
Creating short, but clear headings is difficult isn’t it?
May be there is something with the rep. I simply should try later.
I recieved the same error today. What can I do to fix it? It says
“Package Kit Error” for the title of the window. Then right below it says: “An internal system error has occurred. A problem that we were not expecting has occurred. Please report this bug with the error description.”
More Details: http://www.opensuse-education.org/download/repo/1.0/11.0: Failed to cache repo (4).
what can I do to resolve this? I installed opensuse this weekend and everything else is working fine other than this.
Thank you.
I did not install 11.0 until now, so I do not have that repo myself. But I clicked on tthe link you provided (do it yourself in a browser) and it is definitly not a repo!.
What repo should it be? Something to do with educational software?
I have no idea what repo it should be, but what I do know is that I went into yast, selected software repositories, then looked up the repo. I unselected it, refreshed the list, and finally restarted my computer. To my dismay I received the same error message. So I went back in and deleted the repo, restarted the computer again, and again I got the same error message even though the repo was deleted. I then re-added the repo back to the list but unselected it one more time, then restarted my computer one more time and finally came up without the error message and my computer was able to download some software updates once I did that. That’s how it worked for me, so you might want to un-check it and restart your computer or you can delete that repo, add it back then restart your computer like I did which fixed the problem. I think that repo is for any type of education apps that you might have with suse. I haven’t looked to see what education programs came with the OS. Let me know how it goes.
yes it does stay a riddle, for now. If I can find something that will solve it I will let you know. Thanks for letting me know about restarting the computer. I thought I had to do that every time. I’m somewhat of a newbie to Linux and have used Windows for the last 20 years of my life, hence why I love Linux. It is so much better.
Thanks for this observation - it truly makes a viable argument for replacing Windows with Linux. I was getting more and more p***ed off with that OS - which Gill Bates (I think that is her name) created for the exclusive benefit of herself (money) and criminals (ditto) at our expense. This has really hurt me when one of the foreign students I support asked a friend to rebuild her computer - using less than fully authorised sources to obtain licensed software.
I read today (The Register: Sci/Tech News for the World) that the average life span of an unprotected Win PC on the internet is 4 MINUTES!. She was on my home network all day downloading malware (unknowingly). That stuff got out onto my network, infecting my own (windows) PCs. I have had to change all my passwords (about 200 of them), plus details with all my financial institutions, as well as try to clean up 5 computers. I’m switching to Linux as robustly as I can.
So, thanks Miss Bates and M$ for making such a wonderful criminal-supporting OS. ***k you and all who sail in you.
(I just wish Linux wasn’t so hard to switch to after 25 years of the other!)

Wish you all the best using Linux. The only thing now and then is forgetting what you learned about the other OS. And … when in troubles … ask the forums
I was having the same problem. What i did was go to yast -> software repositories, then delete every single repo. I then went to yast -> online update configuration and did the configuration. I then went to yast -> add-on product selected community repositories and select all the repo’s that i had before, then i clicked finished, and walla, alls good, now only too add the few repos that do not appear in the add-product list.
If your using KDE 4 watch out for the factory repositories!
Simple solution: the Education repository was broken. (Note: the 11.0 repository is still in “Beta” phase and will hopefully get the official “final” status next month.)
The problem is fixed now. Thanks to the one reporting this in the Education-Bugzilla.
