Headless Server under 12.2 - Yast2 trouble

English Install/Boot/Login
1

Hi!

My home server is running 12.2 without a monitor. I administrate it via ssh and so far yast2 did its job.

Now I wanted to install “owncloud”. The packet search (on my desktop machine) supplies me with a one-click-install file for it.

I tried to add the given repository from the downloaded .ymp file manually in the servers’ yast2 repositories dialog:
Name: isv:ownCloud:ee
URL: Index of /repositories/isv:/ownCloud:/ee/openSUSE_12.2

But Yast2 will not accept the URL.

Error message original:
Repository aus URL ‘http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/isv:/ownCloud:/ee/openSUSE_12.2/’ kann nicht erstellt werden.
Bitte ändern Sie die URL und versuchen Sie es erneut.

My translation:
Cannot create repository from URL ‘http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/isv:/ownCloud:/ee/openSUSE_12.2/’
Please change URL and try again

When I use that URL in a browser I get a directory containing the “noarch”, “repodata”, “repocache”, and “src” subdirectories - all of them empty.
When I go up one level, there are a bunch of other distributions like 12.1, 12.2, 12.3_standard, factory and tumbleweed, but they all have the same empty subdirs.

What the heck has happened?

confused,
Christian

For installs from terminal, including adding in repos, look to my bash script blog: Zypper Command - Zypper Package Management Menu System - Version 2.00 - Blogs - openSUSE Forums

Thank You,

That the one click is bad, and that the repos are empty. Ask the repo
owner what happened.
