I just completed updating 10.2 to 11.1, and I am going through the
motions of running an on-line update for the operating system. I started
yast2, and I clicked on Online Update. The error message that I am
seeing is the following:
No active update repository available. Exit online update?
I checked the configured software repositories for the system, and here
is what is listed:
I’m not sure if it works like that but when upgradng You get updated
packages from DVD right? Updates are taken from separate repo, if anyone
could correct me but OSS doesn’t get any updates at all, and aren’t all
OSS packages basically the same as in the DVD?

Just suggesting one possibility, verify you have an active and healthy
network connection.
Eg. If you have one network interface but Yast is reporting 2
(typically, one configured for DHCP and another unconfigured), you need
to delete the DHCP configuration (because it has become unbound) and
configure the unconfigured for DHCP (because that is now bound to the
physical interface).
Thanks for your reply. I went through the motions of adding the update
repository to the list, and removed the four existing ones so currently
the only thing in the list is the update repository.
Besides the update URL, are there any other sitesthat should be on the
list? Thanks.
I would definitely keep OSS and non-OSS (say you remove something and
want it back later?), add Packman, add Nvidia, add Videolan
(temporarily, just to install libdvdcss and then immediately remove that
repo) . That is all in my case.
