Download suse 12.2 with error checking using aria2c

English Install/Boot/Login
1

aria2c --check-integrity=true --summary-interval=300 [download address]

Can someone tell me the correct line to use for arIa2c? Thanks.

I used:


cd path/to/directory/where/I/want/the/iso/to/go
aria2c http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/12.2/iso/openSUSE-12.2-DVD-x86_64.iso.meta4

The defaults seemed pretty good already.

To find the path for download, I checked the “Pick mirror” box in the download window. The metalink is near the top of the page listing mirrors. I selected that (copy link location in browser), then entered the command shown above.

Added note: Okay, the man page says that --check-integrity defaults to false, so maybe you should add that option with true. It already gave periodic updates, so I think the default is fine there.

aria2c gives an error. There is a aria2 in yast-software. That is the correct one? Installed aria2. It gives an error on the command line. ‘command not found’

aria2 --check-integrity=true --summary-interval=300 http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/12.2/iso/openSUSE-12.2-DVD-x86_64.iso.meta4

I have “aria2” installed, as shown in Yast software management.

The file list for that package shows that it contains the command “aria2c”. It does not contain a command “aria2” (without the c).

Package aria2? Yes.

Please copy paste everything in the command line, starting with the line where you issue the
command down to the line where you get the line with the empty prompt, inside code tags.

You should know that we need correct and full data to be able to help…

This is the correct command line.

control-c allows me to break and continue later?

This is not exactly what I told you, I do not see the system prompts. I do not know for sure if
the program aborted or it continued. I’ll assume the program is still running, and in that case
the error above is irrelevant.

Yes. Try.

I continued the download for another 10 hours. Using control-c, I did it a few more times. It finished. I did an md5sum, it matched. I installed opensuse 12.2 The installer crashed, it got to green text screen. The screen went black and 10 mins later it was still black. I had to hit the reset button. OPENSUSE booted fine and has since, thanks.

Well, that’s good, after all. :slight_smile:
