Tumbleweed OSS Repo temporarily unaccessible

What happens if this occurs a dozen times or so? Should I just not bother getting updates for a while? Because this happens whenever I want to install new packages, every time. Such as below a short while later:

Also, how do I install packages in YaST without closing YaST’s Software manager? Because clicking accept closes the software manager once it’s done.

@coldreactive Hi I would suggest switching to mirrorcache… I use https://mirrorcache-us.opensuse.org

Ref: https://en.opensuse.org/MirrorCache

So… how do I install this? All it does it take me to this in firefox: https://software.opensuse.org/ymp/openSUSE:Factory/standard/MirrorCache.ymp

Which is just a bunch of lines of text/code.

Since I can’t edit the message anymore:

I added them as repositories, and it still shows the connection error, because it still tries to download from the normal repos first. I’d rather not disable one or the other in case even the mirrorcache one goes down.

@coldreactive I’ve been using for a long time without issues. All you need to do is use for example <mirrorcache-us.opensuse.org> and add them, disable the old ones.

Clear things out with zypper -vvv refresh -f then do a zypper -vvv dup.

My Aeon setup just autoupdated here, that’s using http://download.opensuse.org

This should be fine then, right?

If you do not want to use the CDN URLs, you need to disable the repos at least. It is logic that you still get the same connection error message, when you don’t disable the affected repos…

If you want to remove the CDN URLS you need to uninstall the package openSUSE-repos-Tumbleweed as this manages a service with the CDN repo definitions.

Wasn’t installed:

Don’t know where they came from, since I didn’t add them.

I think when I installed the distro it added these ones:


I’ll have to manually add the nvidia repo then, since it’s complaining it’ll break if I do this.

These packages contain the CDN repo definitions. And this are btw the wrong ones as can be seen at the package names which contain “MicroOS”. Remove them!

When you only want to add the NVIDIA repos, simply do

zypper addrepo --refresh https://download.nvidia.com/opensuse/tumbleweed NVIDIA

I removed the MicroOS repo packages, and it removed only the opensuse cdn repos, not the NVIDIA one for some reason. Don’t know why. But thanks anyway.
