Question about Software Manager

Hello everybody.

I am new to OpenSUSE and just started dual booting OpenSUSE Xfce and Linux Mint Xfce on my netbook.
I have this error in Yast when opening up the Software manager:

>>
Cannot access installation media
hd:///?device=/dev/disk/by-id/scsi-1ALCOR_ALCOR
(Medium 1).
Check whether the server is accessible.


hd:///?device=/dev/disk/by-id/scsi-1ALCOR_ALCOR


Empty destination in URI: hd:///?device=/dev/disk/by-id/scsi-1ALCOR_ALCOR
<<


I have turned off Firewall. Sometimes it works without error. Sometimes it gives me this message. What does it mean and what do I do to fix it? 

Thank’s a lot.

A comment: When pasting here computer commands and such, please use a

That’s because by default it wants to access the usb stick or dvd that
you used for installation, to save on download time. You can simply
disable it in the repository management module of YaST.

Or connect that device.
Or clone the device internally (ask for more info if you want this).

Don’t disable the firewall, it is not related to the message.
