For some time now I am getting no updates other than Libreoffice that I have refused since just after it was released. Any ideas please. I have II.3.

11.3 is end of life since several weeks, that is the reason you receive
no updates. Consider to update to 11.4 or 12.1.

11.3 is end of life for several weeks now, so no updates since then.
Consider to update to version 11.4 or 12.1.

Further to the posts in this thread, as you have been advised, official openSUSE support for openSUSE-11.3 has stopped. Moving to a newer version of openSUSE, if practical and feasible is good for a number of reasons, where improved security via security patches provided is one of the main reasons to move to a newer openSUSE version.

That does not mean support on this forum has stopped, but it may mean our forum support will not be as good (as it would be with a current openSUSE version) as most of us have moved away from openSUSE-11.3 to a newer version. Hence we may no longer be able to reproduce easily any problem you report.

So along the lines of trying to be helpful, in case you can not immediately move to a newer version of openSUSE (and there could be valid reasons for that), I note the following repositories for openSUSE-11.3 packages:

OSS


ftp://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/discontinued/distribution/11.3/repo/oss/

Non-OSS


ftp://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/discontinued/distribution/11.3/repo/non-oss/

Update (which should have the lastest updates until official support stopped)
