How to add a Repository from your Terminal/Konsole

We will add packman but any repo can be added this way.

When given code to copy and paste by a forum member or from a guide…Eg:
zypper ar -f http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/misc/packman/suse/openSUSE_12.1/ packman
Use your mouse to copy and paste in to the terminal (not your keyboard)

Once the repo is added, do
zypper ref
accept the key (a) = always

And you are done

Typing in what command? zypper? You must be typing it in wrong. Open up a terminal session and type the following commands:

su -
password:
zypper ref

Then post the exact output from this command sequence. Please include your openSUSE version and desktop that is being used.

Thank You,
