packman mirror problem

English Install/Boot/Login

Hello;

While doing installation for opensuse 12.3, I am facing the following error that is related to the packman mirror:

Permission to access ‘http://packman.mirrors.skynet.be/pub/packman/suse/openSUSE_12.3/repodata/repond.xml’ denied

And I see this permission access problem also when I am doing upgrade using zypper refresh. How I can overcome it?

Regards

Apparently that mirror has problems.
You could use a different one, [noparse]http://packman.inode.at/suse/12.3/[/noparse] should work fine.

A list of all mirrors can be found here:
PackMan :: Mirrors

Thanks a lot.

This packman repository is important to do upgrade for the kernel? Because I need to upgrade my kernel from 3.7.10-1.16 to newer one where my opensuse version is 12.3. Is there newer one?

Because I am facing problem related to 3.7.10-1.16 as mentioned in this link: [Bug 826322] New: X server switches to llvmpipe after kernel-desktop sec](http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-bugs/2013-06/msg01968.html)

Appreciate the kindly advise.

Regards
Bilal

Now did you try another mirror of packman as suggested by wolfi323, or didn’t you?

You’re not that clearly stated.

Packman does not do kernels. There is a kernel repo with newer builds look in the community repos
