system hangs at: YaST2 - Online Update - Refresh System Repositories

sabinun · November 20, 2017, 4:32pm

I hope this is the rigrt forum for my issue. I’m trying to check for updates.
The system hangs at “Refreshing System Repositories”.
Luckily, I can swap to the browser to send this message.

What can I do to overcome this issue ?
If list of repositories is damaged - how to check it and how to repair it ?

Last successful update was 2 days ago.
os-release info:

shmuel@LenovoE530c:~> cat /etc/os-release
NAME=“openSUSE Leap”
VERSION=“42.2”
ID=opensuse
ID_LIKE=“suse”
VERSION_ID=“42.2”
PRETTY_NAME=“openSUSE Leap 42.2”
ANSI_COLOR=“0;32”

BUG_REPORT_URL=“https://bugs.opensuse.org”
HOME_URL=“https://www.opensuse.org/”

Any more information need - please guide me how to get it.

The only way to close “YaST2 - Online Update” window is to reboot.

Please show output of

zypper lr -d

, between CODE tags, the # in the layout ribbon.

I editted your post to add the CODE tags, see the difference ?
Remove the repo #1, unless you have the DVD in the driver all the time

If that doesn’t solve things, get back here and we’ll have to do some more searching. But please post output between CODE tags.

sabinun · November 20, 2017, 8:04pm

Thanks again.
How shall I remove the repo #1 ?
May I guess by:
**zypper rm openSUSE-42.2-0
**
or shall it be done using some yast2 option ?

sabinun · November 20, 2017, 9:00pm

I have just now noticed that I can edit at **YaST2 - Software Repositiries **and disable the DVD repositoery.
It seems that disabling is not enough, as I have same issue as before.
I have deleted that row from list, but still hang at refreshing list of repositories.

Each time it hangs I must reboot. Is there no timeout to release the system ?

After reboot the DVD line does not exist any more in the list, But entering “refresh software repositories” still hangs the system.

Here is the new updated result of zypper lr -d command:
Removing repo #1 did not help.

I had the same issue. So I upgraded Leap from 42.2 to 42.3. Please find the thread reg to the upgrade.https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/528080-Unable-to-upgrade-from-42-2-to-42-3

sabinun · November 22, 2017, 12:36pm

This thread can be closed as I just now finished to upgrade to OpenSUSE Leap 42.3.

Thanks.
