Hello guys.
I am new to the forum, and i need some help.
I cannot use yast applications anymore. For example, i am trying to configure my keyboard again, cause it keeps rolling back to the default cnfg, and i am getting an error. See below:
Cannot execute command ‘/sbin/yast2 keyboard’.
It looks like it started after an update…
here is some information that could help

Why do you have the factory repo configured? That is likely the cause of your problem.
Remove or disable that repo. Then, from a root command line, run “zypper dup” to get everything back to the 13.2 versions.

Hey dude…
I did what you asked and the weirdest thing happened.
After the rollback and the reboot, my opensuse looked like from the 80´s !!! The Desktop had a PURPLE wallpaper, and the icons had a really old style… LOL Seriously… So bad that i could not even take a print screen of it !!!
Anyway, this time i copuld not even recover the system using snapper… The system didnt allowed me to do anything…
Luckily i have my partitions set, so i will go for a fresh install…
I still dont understand much about the REPOs… Could you send me a link explaining which one i should have for a SAFE updates and future upgrades ?
anyway… thank you a lot for your help !!
cheers
If you don’t understand stay away from any repo that has factory in it’s name. Factory is where things are built and may at any time have incompatible packages to your OS in it. If you install things from private/personal repos do not keep them active since that person may add incompatible things at any time which may break your OS.
Could anyone tell me what is this REPO #5 ??
its giving me some errors when i update the system… now i have a fresh install. Should i remove it ?
Thanks in advance

It’s your installation medium.

I hope you are aware that you are using Tumbleweed, the rolling distribution, now? Not 13.2?#1 ’s URL to have “openSUSE_Factory” instead of “openSUSE_13.2” then.

Yes… that first REPO is for a software that i already installed and its working fine, i can disable it. Dont need updates !!
I chose TUmbleweed this time to see how its going… I screw up in the past, because i didnt know abour the REPOs details…
People here are advising me to remove all factory repos, to avoid problems in the future…
thank you
Yes, you should not use Factory repos (and especially the main Factory/Tumbleweed repo) on 13.2.
But now you are in fact using Factory (Tumbleweed is just the name of the published Factory), so you should only use Factory/Tumbleweed repos now, not ones for 13.2 or any other release.
So… i guess i should be fine now, at least regarding the REPOS
