Problem in Opensuse 11.2 RC1

English Install/Boot/Login
#1

Hi,

I’ve just installed Opensuse11.2 RC1 to see what is new in action lol!

Opensuse 11.2 RC1 is stable and beautiful (at least KDE version). But I’m facing some problems:

1- I can not install flashpalyer. I get this message:
An error occurred while initializing the software repository.
Details:
openSUSE:Factory:NonFree:|] Valid metadata not found at specified URL(s)
History:

  • |] Repository type can’t be determined.

Try again?

2- I can not run Yast web interface. After I install all the required packages as per this page, I get this error message:
Routing Error

No route matches “/” with {:method=>:get}

3- I miss Ubuntu way of installing proprietary codecs.

4- Webpin package search does not work.

openSUSE:Factory:NonFree:|] Valid metadata not found at specified URL(s)

I haven’t seen the NonFree repo before. Flash-player is available at this repo:

http: //download.opensuse.org/factory/repo/non-oss/

Also, there’s usually some updates queued up after the install. Can you run the YaST software installer again and see if these are available?

#3

Yast tries to add this repo:

Index of /factory/repo/non-oss/suse (openSUSE:Factory:NonFree)

Something is wrong !

Well, 11.2 is still in development. The repo I listed above can be added manually.

P.S. I couldn’t find that NonFree repo you referenced. Maybe it’s just not synced up yet.

#5

Actually, when I clicked on your link, it took me to the repo that I posted above.

#6

I know it is in the development. I hope the fix these problems before release the final version.

what about the other problems?

#7

I installed flash player and nsplugin using instructions in another thread on the forum (something like “zypper in flashplayer nsplugin”).

For 11.2-RC1, the software repositiories are at http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.2/repo/oss/
