I have been a Fedora user for a few years and wanted something more stable so removed Fedora and installed SUSE on my desktop. I have been trying to run a zypper upgrade be keep getting invalid repository errors. I have tried to remove these repositories via yast, but cannot. Is this expected from a new install? one reason I went with OpenSUSE was to make use of the hypervisor and I have not had any luck with this either. I also tried VirtualBox and again I have not been able to get that installed and working either. It’s been a frustration day to say the least.
Type ‘zypper help’ to get a list of global options and commands.

Hi
More than likely the repository mirror your pointing to is still syncing (common thing for Tumbleweed), be paitient and try again in a few hours, or find a mirror closer to your locale and change your URL from download.opensuse.org;

Hi
Re hypervisor, I use qemu/kvm without issues, assuming your cpu supports this?
malcolmlewis
Thank you for the reply. Does this look correct? My CPU is an Intel e8500 3.16GHz. I do not over clock. Will this support qemu/kvm? I do like to use virtualbox to run GNS3, but would load windoz if I had too.

Hi
I would disable the install media (repo uri #3) then run a zypper ref and see how things go.
Is virtualization enabled in your system BIOS?
If you want to try kvm, install;
zypper in qemu-kvm libvirt virt-manager
modprobe kvm_intel
systemctl start libvirtd
exit
virt-manager
