Software Updation Problem

Hi,

When ever I run software update from "Application > System > Configuration> Software Update:

I see that error:

Download (curl) error for ‘ftp://download.opensuse.org/0.000000distribution/11.2/repo/oss/repodata/repomd.xml’:
Error code: Connection failed
Error message: couldn’t connect to host

Can anybody tell me what’s problem?

Thanks and waiting for reply

Congratulations, 10 repos and 4 times oss, we have a new world record here.

Remove all OSS-repos, except ONE and deactivate the cd/dvd as repo.

Now do this: (Unless you know libdvdcss is installed)

su -c "rpm -Uvh http://download.videolan.org/pub/libdvdcss/1.2.9/rpm/libdvdcss2-1.2.9-1.i386.rpm"

Then do this in a su - terminal

zypper ar -f http://packman.unixheads.com/suse/11.2/ packman

Check this:
Multi-media and Restricted Format Installation Guide - openSUSE Forums

hi

thanks for reply
but there is now anothere problem, when I run “zypper ar -f Index of /suse/11.2 packman” command in terminal

it’s said
“Root privileges are required for modifying system repositories.”

But in my machine I am only user/ root administrator

how can overcome this problem?

Thanks and waiting for reply.

You need to have the root password, if you don’t. See the person that does.

In a terminal become su -
Become su in Terminal - HowTo - openSUSE Forums

Change it to this:


su -c 'zypper ar -f http://packman.unixheads.com/suse/11.2/ packman'

enter your rootpassword when prompted for. It may be your own password, if you did not change the default.

Hi,

I did that and its result below

palash@linux-vfzl:~/Desktop> su -c ‘zypper ar -f Index of /suse/11.2 packman’
Password:
Adding repository ‘packman’ [done]
Repository ‘packman’ successfully added
Enabled: Yes
Autorefresh: Yes
URI: Index of /suse/11.2

but still can not update the software.

Thanks

You have not done as requested.

Delete everything and leave:

7 | packman | packman | Yes | Yes | 99 | rpm-md | Index of /suse/11.2 |
9 | repo-non-oss | openSUSE-11.2-Non-Oss | Yes | Yes | 99 | yast2 | Index of /distribution/11.2/repo/non-oss |
10 | repo-oss | openSUSE-11.2-Oss | Yes | Yes | 99 | yast2 | Index of /distribution/11.2/repo/oss |

Now in a su terminal do this:

zypper ar -f http://download.opensuse.org/update/11.2/ updates

Now open Yast - Software - Online Update

accept any licences.

Hi,

How can I delete those repos
can you please send me commands so
I will run those command in my terminal

Thanks

Hi, I’m having a problem with the Updater Applet, probably because I’ve done something really stupid some time in the past. I wish I knew what I was doing with this OS, but I don’t, and I’m too busy learning chemistry to spend time finding out right now.

So my problem is when I try to install the 2 suggested updates I get:

PackageKit Error cannot-remove-system-package: Subprocess failed. Error: RPM failed: error: package perl-doc-5.10.0-72.5.i586 is not installed

Can anyone help? You might get a good laugh out of the way I have my repositories set up…

Look here
Repository Management - openSUSE Forums

Easier than me giving you a load of zypper commands, just go in there, select them and delete them

Hi,

I do that as per you said, I disable all those repo.

now error are not showing and i got message that my system is uptodate.
but nothing download from opensue.

Is it now ok?

OK, so you seem fairly up to date.

What do you get in a su terminal if you do

zypper up
