Of 3 tumbleweeds here 2 have updated recently without trouble but one is failing both zypper dup and zypper ref.

it hasn’t been updated since april, might that be a cause of trouble? if so how may it be fixed?

i just added the packman repo to it, and packman does its ref just fine, but the other repos complain:

  #  zypper ref
Repository 'packma' is up to date.

There are no files matching /var/tmp/TmpFile* on either the ailing or the working tumbleweeds, and there’s no lack of filespace.

it’s having no trouble reaching the internet, the .repo files are identical to the working ones, i tried replacing the ailing /var/cache/zypp/raw/repo-non-oss/ with the content from a working one, that didn’t change the result. Also tried

  #  zypper removerepo openSUSE-Tumbleweed-Oss                                                          [5/96]

What could this ailing tumbleweed need?

Have either zypper or gpg changed in some way to cause this, and did i miss the window to easily update to those changes? if so how may i fix it?

You are probably being redirected to a bad mirror.

Wait a while, and see if it corrects itself. If not, you can edit the url to change it to a better mirror.

My laptop updated just fine monday but now it’s getting the same problem too!

“mirrors.opensuse.org” doesn’t show “update” for any mirror in the “tumbleweed” column! Does that mean tumbleweed updates are currently broken?

4

I just tried “zypper refresh” on my Tumbleweed system. And all repos refreshed without problems. But other people in your geographic area might be having similar problems.

Tumbleweed is a rolling release distribution and doesn’t use the update directory! That is why it is not listed on the mirrors page. You can check yourself that the update directory for Tumbleweed only contains some dummy packages:
https://download.opensuse.org/update/tumbleweed/x86_64/
The update directory would only be used if there where ultra critical updates which needs to be provided prior the next snapshot.

Surprising that they all fail, as if perhaps specifying the mirror is still usurped by a broken mirror redirect setup.

7

No wonder that these URLs fail. They do not exist. They are not even listed on the mirror page. So you created them yourself (whyever and however :roll_eyes:).

Wrong:
baseurl=http://ftp.uni-erlangen.de/update/tumbleweed/
should be:
baseurl=https://ftp.uni-erlangen.de/opensuse/update/tumbleweed/

Wrong:
baseurl=http://download.opensuse.org/app/server/ftp.halifax.rwth-aachen.de/tumbleweed/repo/oss
Should be:

Yes well, it illustrates the valid original “non-oss” URL failing with the same error as bogus URLs.

And yes thanks for the corrections. After which the original “non-oss” URL still failed, as they have here in saint paul mn usa for 41 hours at least.

Sad to see automatic mirror selection failing for my location. indeed oogling shows the same has happened for others before.

But a couple more hours now and it’s recovered and working.

Sure would be handy if the failure messages would actually inform us of what is or might be happening.

Quick scan of the logs might reveal a 404 error.

I keep this (below) bookmarked, just in case … be sure to tap on the “Mirror Overview” selection. Might also be worth it to investigate the other options :+1:

@gregrwm A “Cheese and Sprinkles” thing… :laughing: (from the Rio movie)…

I would suggest switching to Mirrorcache (MirrorCache - openSUSE Wiki), works fine down here in Mississippi…

I also suspect with a snapshot released some 7 odd hours ago (20231128) and one another hour ago (20231129 ) doesn’t help the Mirror load…

11

sadly eg 12/4 mirrorcache was suffering the same trouble here, i got going by selecting a mirror myself

You may try mirror.leaseweb.net. At Erlangen download.opensuse.org diverts to their servers, which are fast and reliable.

This works (today anyway):

baseurl=https://mirrorcache.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/twotaps:/mediatools/openSUSE_Tumbleweed

but none of these do:

Where could i learn what mirrors are available for twotaps:/mediatools (obs-studio) and how to form a working address?

If you append .mirrorlist to any file name, you get the list of mirrors known to have this file. ftp.gwdg.de is listed there, but if you get closer look, the path is different to what you attempted.
