I formatted my comp im gonna do a fresh install…
SDB:Disabling IPv6 completely - openSUSE
**I followed that 3 days ago and I think it did not disabled my ipv6 at all!
**
Because I checked my ifconfig and there is still ipv6 address
> /sbin/ifconfig
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:22:15:A0:97:E4
inet addr:192.168.1.100 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
inet6 addr: fe80::222:15ff:fea0:97e4/64 Scope:Link

collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
RX bytes:55881638 (53.2 Mb) TX bytes:3322969 (3.1 Mb)
Interrupt:28 Base address:0x8000
In the 1st place, that file /etc/modprobe.conf did not exist in my systems and I created it, and followed the rest of the steps and rebooted. I still have ipv6 addresses and repo for zypper still won’t work.
It is tested in more than 1 opensuse 11.2 machines.
**
TODAY SUDDENLY EVERYTHING WORKS, WITHOUT DISABLING IPV6.rotfl!**
I still believe that was indeed ipv6 that caused troubles.
I think my ISPs routers enabled ipv6 recently and that cause even broswers to need refresh some times to get a page displayed.
I think either SuSE did something on the repo end to disable ipv6 today or my ISP turned off ipv6 today. So every repo works now for me. It may be temporary.
I still believe that disabling ipv6 will help, but I did not succeed in doing that so far.

i do not know why you refuse to read and follow advice–i didn’t point
you to http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Disabling_IPv6_completely, instead i
suggested what works in my post #18 when i wrote “search the forum for
“ipv6.disable=1” for instructions” then, in #20 i gave you this this
search and all you had to do was click on it, and read the first hit
http://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Aopensuse.org+“ipv6.disable%3D1”
the FIRST line of the FIRST hit on that search list is: “Current
versions of openSUSE (11.2, namely 64bit default- and desktop-kernel,
32bit desktop-kernel) will not let you disable IPv6 using YaST.”
cite:
http://forums.opensuse.org/information-new-users/unreviewed-how-faq/433057-howto-disable-ipv6-opensuse-11-2-a.html
and, that posting tells you precisely how to disable IPv6 in openSUSE
11.2 (which is NOT covered in the wiki page you found, yet–but wait
one minute.)
wait is over, now that i know the wiki is wrong, i changed it and now
you may go to the posting i sent you to the first time via
http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Disabling_IPv6_completely
enjoy…but, the fact that it suddenly started working probably means
that the repo you were trying to work with finally got updated/fixed…

Thanks again!
Like I said the problem went away BY ITSELF and then CAME BACK AGAIN also by itself.
I suspect that release of 11.3 is affecting the repository.
My experimental installation of 11.3 have no issue with repositories.
Disabling IPV6 had made some difference but not the crucial ones. Some one is doing something at the repository servers’ end to cause this. I searched and there are many users encountering similar issues here.:
I am reverting back to 11.2 since my nvidia driver has problem in 11.3 that i can not rotate my display on X to 90 degrees. Nvidia’s release 256.35 has problems. It can compile and install but module won’t load.
When I reverted back it was totally new reinstall and fresh, but repository already showed the same problem during the install phase of update.
http://en.opensuse.org/SDBisabling_IPv6_completely This link in your msg is outdated.
The method I tested that worked to disable IPV6 was to add ipv6.disable=1 to the boot parameters, the info is here:

please review all of my post in this thread and you will see i never
gave you that link until AFTER i had updated that wiki page to include
the correct info for 11.2…instead you found it first, after ignoring
what i gave you on 11 June to “(search the forum for “ipv6.disable=1”
for instructions in several threads)”
which, i see from the below you finally did:

i’m happy you finally found the right info…and, by the way when i
gave the edited wiki page to you on 14 June it was where i said it
was…unfortunately, the Wiki Team ‘updated’ the wiki and broke every
link!
the edited wiki i pointed you to last month is now at
http://old-en.opensuse.org/SDB:Disabling_IPv6_completely and it still
points to exactly to the same forum posting you finally found…
congratulations on finding it on your own, finally…

welcome to the forums…
if you did what uyuyuy was told to do and it did not solve your
problem then you do/did not have the “same problem”…
you may have had the same symptom but not the same problem…
because the same solution always works for the same problem (on the
same system, with the same hardware, and same software stack), but may
not work for a different problem with the same (apparent) symptom…
so, start over (begin your own new thread) give it a good clear
subject line which will attract the right helpers…
and tell us your symptoms…if you are getting an error message then
copy/paste it into your post…
and tell us your operating system and version, desktop environment…
are you (for example) also running in a VM (as was the person who
began this “same problem” thread)?
tell us how much linux experience you have, and if this system ever
worked the way you think is ‘right’…and THEN suddenly you had these
symptoms of some problem…

Its a old thread but I post anyway. Singtel uses a forced proxy that causes problems while updating.
I know this is an old thread. But I’ve had a similar problem with all recent versions of openSUSE including my now Leap 42.1 version. Install works fine. Everything works fine for a week or two. Then online update bombs out, cannot find any of the depositories. Message:
Cannot access installation media
http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/leap/42.1/repo/oss/ (Medium 1).
Check whether server is available
I get the same message for every repository configured. After skipping thru all these error messages I get
There was an error in the repository initialization.
SKIP request: User-requested skipping of a file
History:
- Download (curl) error for ‘http://download.opensuse.org/update/leap/42.1/oss/repodata/repomd.xml’:
Error code: Connection failed
Error message: Failed to connect to download.opensuse.org port 80: Network is unreachable
After skipping everything after that. I get
Error: No software repository configured yet
I checked my repositories. They are all there from my install except for having removed the disk repository, which I learned to delete as not required from posts here, and which caused some initial problems to access the repositories initially. deleting that meant I was able to access the online repositories after install (For about 2 weeks at least).
Need a permanent solution.
Indeed, this is a very old thread. And thus not many people will be subscribed to it anymore. And even less will watch it at all. I only found it because, as a mod, I am patroling the forums for odd things.
When you want exposure for your request for help or information, the best is to start a new thread. A new thread will show in lists of new threads, will be signaled in RSS feads, etc.
Thus I invite you to start a new thread in the Install/boot/loggin subforum with a good title containing the keywords of your problem and a good description of your poblem, illustrated with computer facts where possible (e.g. do not say "I checked my repositories…, but show zypper lr -d, thus we can check yoour repositories).
This thread will be CLOSED to avoid answers in this dark corner.
