Today I attempted to install openSUSE on a friends computer and everything went fine… until I had to install codecs.
Seems like packman is having issues but want to ensure I am not alone so I can inquire the packman maintainers.
I see no problem here.
What kind of problems did you have? Dependency conflicts?
No it kept on loosing the medium for some reason, I have no idea why.
I did try another mirror lately and it seemed to have4 worked, I just had to inquire about the primary mirror.
Here’s a list of all mirrors if you need it:
http://packman.links2linux.de/mirrors
I’m using packman.inode.at since years and never had problems.
ell my issue may be from that I use YAST to choose my sources as opposed to manually putting them in, YAST usually points to http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/packman/suse/openSUSE_13.1/
when selecting community repositories
I’ve had problems with that mirror being very slow for me for quite some time so since installing 13.1 I update the URL to a different mirror and problem solved.
Kind of figured it was the mirror, I will contact the maintainers then
Thanks for the confirmation
I can’t access Packman or any of the mirrors; YaST just tells me it’s “Unable to create a repository” from any of the URLs.
you’re probably copying the url from the wrong part of the repository.
This is the url I use
The main Packman repository is working again now, but yeah, you were right about my copying the wrong URL for the mirrors.
