online update configuration problem

English Install/Boot/Login
#1

I can not enable the updates repository. When I try to use the online update configuration, I get stuck in a loop between a window telling me manual interaction required and another sending me to Novell Customer Center System Registration. When I click on continue from the second screen I get brought back to the first.

#2

Registration is not needed. To update just become su in a terminal
Become su in Terminal - HowTo - openSUSE Forums

then do

zypper up

Thanks for the quick reply. I had tried to do that earlier, yet all I get is

Loading repository data...
Reading installed packages...

Nothing to do.

But when I load the software manager the updates repo shows up in the repositories tab then after about a second it disappears. I would post a screenshot but under the posting rules it says that I cannot post attachments.

zypper lr -d

the updater isn’t really active until final release or at least the release candidates. Afaik you can safely deactivate the update repo until final

Thanks for your reply.

If you want to update 11.3 add these repos

Index of /factory/repo/oss

Index of /factory/repo/non-oss

Then use the switcher in the yast UI
or do zypper dup
