Repository Issues

English Install/Boot/Login
#1

Hey, I hope this is the right forum in which to post this but I am currently running SUSE 11.2(I know im a couple versions back, its a long story but this box has been in storage for awhile) but the problem I am having is with updating SUSE and accessing the repositories through the Yast Software Installer. When I open it I get several variations of this message:

Download failed:
File ‘/repodata/repomd.xml’ not found on medium 'http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/X11%3A/Utilities/openSUSE_11.2/

I think this must have something to do with an old repository not being up but im not exactly sure how to fix this.

Thanks!

Because 11.2 support has ended
You need to upgrade

Or read here
openSUSE:Evergreen - openSUSE

Version 11.2 is end of life for some weeks now and most repositories are
simply removed.
I think you should consider to update your machine to a newer openSUSE
version (I would suggest 11.4).

Software and the last updates are available under
<http://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/discontinued/>

As people say though, nothing is being updated now, so you should think
about upgrading.

Thanks for the help guys!

Since around June 11, 2011 I have had intermittent problem getting to download.opensuse.org. This means, that updates cannot be installed. I wonder if others have experienced similar problems?

I am running opensuse 11.4 on one machine and opensuse 11.3 on another. Both have the problem, but the number uninstalled fixes/updates are largest on the 11.4 machine. Are there IP-adresses, which I can use to configure my repositories, to eliminate the possibility of DNS problems? Where can I find these IP-adresses

openSUSE Download Mirrors - 11.4

Ask DNS.

But it will not work for your problem.
