Sorry if it’s a noobish question, but we are here to help eachother
The problem : Every time I try to install something, I get an error message saying :
Cannot access installation media
hd:///?device=/dev/sdb1
(Medium 1).
Check whether the server is accessible.
Show details says :
Empty destination in URl: hd:///?device=/dev/sdb1
What I gonna do ? I’m new to Linux.
Is it a NTFS access problem or something like that ?

Hi and welcome to the forums
Don’t worry I don’t find it a noobish question
Any way please post output of in the terminal (In kde it is called Konsole):
zypper lr -d
I typed it into Konsole and got this :

Ok in Konsole again become root first like this:
su -
Password:
**Type in your password and press [ENTER]**
If you have become root you should have a prompt similar to this one:
**linux-apns:~ #**
Once you have become root do this:
zypper rr 2
That should fix the problem.
It said this at first :
System management is locked by the application with pid 6632 (/usr/lib/YaST2/bin/y2base).
Close this application before trying again.
Then I closed the software manager and tried again and got this :
Removing repository ‘openSUSE-11.3 11.3-1.82’ [done]
Repository ‘openSUSE-11.3 11.3-1.82’ has been removed.
And it worked !!! THANK YOU SO MUCH !!! GOD BLESS YOU !!!
