OpenSuse Leap 42.1 can't perform updates, although the computer is connected to internet

English Install/Boot/Login
#1

After restarting the newly upgraded system, I got an error message that online update can not be performed.

http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/leap/42.1/repo/oss/

Download (curl) error for ‘http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/leap/42.1/repo/oss/repodata/repomd.xml’:

Error code: Connection failed

Error message: Failed to connect to download.opensuse.org port 80: Network is unreachable

But I am connected to the internet, I am sending this message from the same computer. I am also able to open the link I provided above.

I was able to start Yast the first time, but after closing it, when I tried launching it, it didn’t want to start anymore (no errors appeared). After restarting the computer, I am able to use again Yast. It seems to me a bit moody.

There is an xconsole with the following information (****, I lost the information: after selecting and pressing Ctrl C on the console, the messages disappeared and I don’t have anything left in clipboard…).
I will restart the computer, maybe I will be able to edit my post and add the message in here.

Question: if the network works, how can I convince the online update to use to the network?

Thanks,
Nick

I was able to copy the messages from xconsole. I had to remember not to use Ctrl C to copy. All I had to do was to select the text in xconsole, then come back here and press the middle button of the mouse…

Hi
Check the actual url of the repos via;


zypper lr -d

It can also be that the mirror your using is not populated…

Click on this link;
http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/leap/42.1/repo/oss/suse/repodata/repomd.xml.mirrorlist

Find a mirror close in the list and add this as a new one and disable the old one. Use YaST software repositories or zypper from the command line.

Hi Malcolm,

I just fixed it. I edited the network interface and I added the IP address for the gateway (previously I selected DHCP and I thought it takes care of the gateway as well? It is strange that the browser was working and Online Update not). I also removed the IP6. Probably that has nothing to do with it

Thanks,
Nick

I’ve just completed a clean install of OpenSuse Leap42.1. After installation, the network still didn’t work (using a NetXtreme BCM5751 Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express network card). Both Firefox and Online Update could not connect. I set the gateway (I left the IP4 and IP6) and I still could not connect. Then I only left IP4 and I was able to PING a website. Mozilla Firefox still didn’t work. After I restarted the computer, Firefox started working. Online Update still reporting errors. I can open the location http://download.opensuse.org/update/leap/42.1/non-oss/ in the browser and I can see the files in there.
To me it looks like there is a need for some improvements in this version of OpenSuse Leap42.1. In the past I installed a few other versions on this computer and I don’t think they had problems with the network. I wonder if it is a leap in the right direction? :slight_smile:

So, since I installed a clean version of OpenSuse Leap 42.1, the system was unable to connect to perform online updates. However, the “Software updates” status informs me that my system is up to date, with the last check performed a few minutes ago. This looks like a bug to me. Just because the system attempted to perform the online updates (and failed), it does not mean that the system is up to date…

I think I figured it out. I had to untick the option “Enable IPv6” under Global Options of the network settings. Now I got into other problem. There is a green shield called “Software updates - Plasma” and it’s been running for about five minutes and nothing happens.
If I start Yast->Online Updates, it informs me that “PackageKit” is blocking software management and it offers to kindly ask PackageKit to quit. But PackageKit is a stubborn son of a bit… and it doesn’t respond. Also, it doesn’t want to quit :slight_smile: There is no abort button for this software. And Ctrl + Shift + Escape does nothing in Linux… Probably it’s time for another computer restart. At least, I’m having fun…

After restarting the computer, the Windows Updates from the tray was able to identify what updates are required and it downloaded and installed them all. This means this software does what it’s supposed to do, but just in ideal conditions. If there is no network available, it will try forever to download. Even if the network gets working in the meantime, if it had no network when it started checking for updates, it won’t do anything. It also does not listen when other software ask it to quit - obviously there could be some improvements done here. At least have an abort button to stop checking for updates. Maybe abort after one minute of failure to get any updates. Allow another software to stop it, if the user decides so.
