English Install/Boot/Login

Hi,

Im beginner with Opensuse and I would have help request regarding repository named ‘update-sle (15.5)’ with my fresh Opensuse Leap 15.5 installation.

There seems to be some kind issue with my installation but im not sure have I caused this or something else.

The problem is visible with Yast in GUI and with multiple commands with zypper.

Error example:
Command: "zypper update " as root.

zypper update
Refreshing service ‘NVIDIA’.
Refreshing service ‘openSUSE’.

Some of the repositories have not been refreshed because of an error.
Loading repository data…
Warning: Repository ‘openSUSE:Backports:SLE-15-SP5’ metadata expired since 2024-03-22 19:13:55 EET.

Warning: Repository metadata expired: Check if 'autorefresh' is turned on (zypper lr), otherwise
manually refresh the repository (zypper ref). If this does not solve the issue, it could be that
you are using a broken mirror or the server has actually discontinued to support the repository.

Reading installed packages…
Nothing to do.

So the main error is:
Repository ‘SUSE:SLE-15-SP5:GA’ is invalid.
[https-download.opensuse.org-441efaf2|https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/SUSE:/SLE-15-SP5:/GA/pool/] Valid metadata not found at specified URL

Can someone help me to identify what is causing this issue and recommend possible fix for this issue?

Kind regards,
-Plakkoon

Unfortunately this is not a “fresh” installation. You used a 1-Click installation to install some stuff which added invalid repositories. Show your repository list via zypper lr -d. Post the output in preformatted text tags </>.

Repository 3 to 16 are invalid repositories. See Package repositories - openSUSE Wiki for the official repo list. You can remove the invalid repos via
sudo zypper rr 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16

Apart from invalid SLE repositories, you have standard openSUSE repositories twice. It does not hurt, but it makes no sense either.

Not really, but one will at least be a bit confused when a listing of packages shows packages twice in that list.

Hi,

Massive thank you!

The problem is now resolved by given guidelines.
And the Yast is working also now super fast not downloading every it will be opened.

Its little bit unfortunately that this kind of issues are even possible to cause by user end with this 1-click installation specially when the newest image is used from official pages openSUSE Leap 15.5 - Get openSUSE

But anyway, thank you for helping me to resolve this.
-Plakkoon.
