When I try to solve a problem concerning getting my printer to work wireless with my network I use CUPS documentation. Here I am recommended to install a program snmpwalk but the answer is Could not resolve host: ftp.gwdg.de:
louis@linux-g65x:~> snmpwalk -Cc -v1 -cpublic If ‘snmpwalk’ is not a typo you can use command-not-found to lookup the package that contains it, like this: cnf snmpwalk louis@linux-g65x:~> cnf snmpwalk -Cc -v1 -cpublic Programmet “snmpwalk” kan findes i følgende pakke: * net-snmp path: /usr/bin/snmpwalk, softwarekilde: zypp (repo-oss) ] Try installing with: sudo zypper install net-snmp louis@linux-g65x:~> sudo zypper install net-snmp root’s password: Download (curl)-fejl for ‘http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/packman/suse/openSUSE_12.3/repodata/repomd.xml’: Fejlkode: Connection failed Fejlmeddelelse: Could not resolve host: ftp.gwdg.de; Navn eller tjeneste ukendt
Please tell me what to do?
OS-version (danish) Linux 3.7.10-1.1-desktop openSUSE 12.3 (Dartmouth)(i586)
As you found out your layout is very bad. I will learn you the trick.
When you post computer text, do so between CODE tags. You get the CODE tgas by clicking on the # button in the toolbar of the post editor. And then you copy/paste the text from your terminal emulator sraight in between the CODE tags.
The error "Could not resolve host: ftp.gwdg.de: " points to a not functioning DNS service. I can resolve it without any problem:
But when your DNS is not working, you should have much more problems in reaching internet hosts, like forums.opensuse.org here and all others. Did you have those problems?
To check DNS, please thh outputr of
grep -v '^#' /etc/resolv.conf
Second, you seem to think that ftp.gwdg.de is an openSUSE site because you ask “Closed openSUSE?”. This site is an FTP download service of the Gesellschaft für Wissenschaftliche Datenverarbeitung, which is part of the Göttingen (Germany) university. They only are mirroring the openSUSE download site (at download.opensuse.org) to spread bandwidth usage. Thus it could be that installing software through YaST or zypper tries to get it from teher, but there are many more possibilities. Not hat that is important here, but as long as your DNS is not functioning, youwill have problems to connect to every site using their host.domainnames.
BTW, did you try to use YaST > Software > Software managermant, then Search for net-snmp, check it at right and install? When ny assesment (DNS not OK) is correct, that shouldn’t work either, but you never know.
Something completley differnet is: why didn’t you ask here for your printer problem in the first place?
I still wonder if openSUSE has closed some activities since I can get messages like this:
Problem connecting to a software origin
Download (curl) error for 'http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/12.3/repo/non-oss/content':
Error code: Connection failed
Error message: Could not resolve host: download.opensuse.org; Name or service not known
Or what does it mean? Or best of all, how can I get rid of it?
We are running into circles. Last time I posted here I asked you several things. Buit I got no answer. How do you think I acn go on to try to help you when you do not cooperate? I quote from myself:

Qften people ask here for some output from a command to be posted, you either do that or you explain why you can not / will not / do not like to do this. But please do not ignore such a question. as if it is not done.
And you do so complete: the prompt, the command, the output and the next prompt between CODE tags. As I demonstrated in post #3 above with my nslookup command.
And no, telling us what you think the output of such a command means is not enough. You show it as it is without any filtering and we try to find out what it means.
But when your DNS is not working, you should have much more problems in reaching internet hosts, like forums.opensuse.org here and all others. Did you have those problems?
With a real ? at the end.
This will take ages. We are now three days on the road and the first few questions I asked are still not answered. What is the problem? Is there a language barrier? Please tell us so we can try to do something about this difficult conversation.

Please use code tags for printouts and commands. Advanced editor, ‘#’
button. We told you to use code tags several posts before, so please do
not forget it again.

Presumably this is your router - does your router resolve names for you?
Many routers act as a DNS relay, so this would be fairly typical if the
router is getting its DNS information from your ISP and if it’s passing
requests it cannot resolve upstream to the next DNS server.
You can try changing this to (for example):
nameserver 8.8.8.8
and see if that helps - if it does, then you might check your router’s
configuration to see how it’s supposed to be handing DNS requests.
Dear Carlos E. R.and Jim Henderson,
Thank you for your polite answers.
I now know that computer text also may mean *terminal output *confering to Posting in Code Tags - A Guide
I will try to change the DNS.
Best regards
