The tumbleweed repositories seem to have gone away I cannot access them via my internet connection on my computer or the separate one on my phone.

Hi, same for Leap 42.3! Lenwolf

It looks as if the system is alive (can ping it), but it is not listening on port 80 (server program down?)

Have a look at https://status.opensuse.org/ :’(

14:43 < kl_eisbaer> antlarr: a temporary machine is up already, but this one has limited bandwidth, so expect timeouts ....
14:44 < antlarr> kl_eisbaer: ok, thanks
14:44 < kl_eisbaer> antlarr: bringing the old machine up will take quite some hours

It might take a while until they can get it back up, it seems to have been a catastrophic hardware failure.

Who can not wait can change the mirror

Tried the following one and succeeded with a smooth update to Tumbleweed 20170904: Willkommen auf / Welcome to ftp.fau.de (ftp.uni-erlangen.de)

I did not see any Tumbleweed update repo in the German mirror as indicated in the post above.

Looking for same, I only found openSUSE-stable update repo for Leap, in the mirror at the University of Waterloo Computer Science Club in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada.

I can wait for both at the main download.opensuse.org link. Not in a hurry, since I have several other distros on my box.

:wink:

Well, you should be fine without the Tumbleweed update repo for a day or so, I’d just disable it until the problems are solved.

It’s empty most of the time anyway, and it’s unlikely that a critical emergency update is going to be released in the current situation…

And just to be clear: you should not use the openSUSE-stable update repo on Tumbleweed, that’s Leap 42.3 currently and will likely break your TW system.

Hello wolfi323,

Thanks for your advice. I have already known how not to mix repos with the wrong distro. Anyway, it should be a useful warning to newbies.

I have just updated Tumbleweed and Leap on the same PC via “Zypper up”.

Thanks God everything is back to normal.

Cheers!
