Repos online?

Can anyone tell me whether the update repos are online?
Have been having issues the last couple of days, and even did a fresh install today, and now can’t update…
Are there alternatives available?
Thanks.

zypper up

zypper lr -d

Edit:
Changed zypper dup to zypper up because of using Leap15.2 by the user.

I do not think that a zypper dup on a just installed Leap 15.2 is applicable.

In any case, I just patched (updated) my Leap 15.2 and had no problems with any of the repos I have.

And of course the OP saying “I can’t update” is next to to infamous “it does not work” :frowning:
No symptoms, no error messages, nothing.

Oops my fault, thought Tumbleweed…
Changed it to up in the Post.

Try as root:

zypper clean -a && zypper ref && zypper up

Does this work?

Just 5 - 10 mins ago I also had a repo that didn’t answer.
Tested again 2 mins ago and it worked.

Bad or not fully synchronized mirror?

Try explicitly setting a different mirror perhaps.

For testing purposes this one is working, although you could try one closer to home.

http://mirror.ox.ac.uk/sites/ftp.opensuse.org/pub/opensuse/update/leap/15.2/oss/

wouldn’t suggest using it permanently though :slight_smile:

Well, Whaddya know! Refresh was pretty slow, but has succeeded.
Fingers crossed for the update!
Thanks.
