I have just done a full disk installation of suse 11.
now I want to do an online update but it seems that the YaST is not working properly I mean it couldnt fetch the updates from the repos,I am behind a proxy so do i need to configure yast to passby that proxy?
(I dont know if I am posting in the right sub-forum.my apology)
Hi and Welcome
Probably better posted in applications. However, other users appear to
be having issues with the repositories and updating, so may need to
wait awhile until it’s sorted

thanx malcolmlewis…
I will keep that in mind from the next time.
Can you please just drop a post once the matter gets resolved.
Hi
I just tried a refresh here and it’s working ok (no proxy) for me. I’m
assuming you have configured your proxy in YaST -> Network Services?
If not, please post a new thread over in the network/internet forum.

Now whenever I am opening the “software management” from yast it is downloading some packages(often it failed to do so so i had to skip them) then at last its saying:
'repo-oss': Valid metadata not found at specified URL(s)
I have one more problem when I was trying to install gcc the package manager is giving the source as suse DVD.how to make that point towards internet repos?
Hi
Just change the priority for the DVD, or just disable it

just a silly thought, was does yast > software reposetries show ? it should be something like
Main Repo (oss)
Main update Repo
Main Repo (non oss)
all enabled, I removed dvd and remember from a previous install that if the registration after install fails the repositries arn’t added.
I also added packman myself (add, community)
Thanx guys,let me check it out.
