Issue with repositories when online update.

Hi.
Running opensuse 12.3 64bit here.

I get an info about and issue with the repository when I run online update.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/lys6qyr10qn8r5e/repository.png?m

How can I determine what’s wrong ?

/Erik

As t he message does not display the URL it tells you it has a problem with, the meaning is a bit vague. But we could start of course by looking at the repos you have:

zypper lr -d

Many thanks Henk.

Here’s the output of zypper lr -d

Well, a vast list of them.

About #9. What is that. A complete disk partition? When you used that to install from, I would disable it now like I would disbale the install DVD after installation.

Your guess is correct, it’s the install medium. Should be removed since it causes the repo error when the medium is no longer present.

Thanks folks for your help.

I deleted the USB install media, but something persists:

disable and stop refresh for source,debug,vlc repos and dvd. Packman contains vlc packages

su -
zypper mr -d -R 3 9 10 11 12 15

and then clean and force refresh


su -
zypper clean --all
zypper ref -f

https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Zypper_manual_(plain)

@vazhavandan

Thanks for this nice info.

All worked but this:

Forcing raw metadata refresh
Retrieving repository 'Multimedia' metadata ......................................................[error]

What’s this about ?

/Erik

No idea whthere FTP repos are supported
try disabling multimedia,


su - zypper mr -d -R Multimedia

and then add

$ zypper ar -c -n  'Packman  12.3  repo'  http://packman.inode.at/suse/openSUSE_12.3/ packman

Finally

su - zypper clean --all zypper ref -f

I now got this:

zypper clean --all zypper ref -f
Repository 'zypper' not found by its alias, number, or URI.
Repository 'ref' not found by its alias, number, or URI.
Repository '-f' not found by its alias, number, or URI.
Use 'zypper repos' to get the list of defined repositories.
Could not clean the repositories because of errors.

Those are separate commands that need to be run on different lines


zypper clean --all
 zypper ref -f

Many thanks for the help. Now all is working fine rotfl!
