So I tried installing Opensuse Tumbleweed both from the Gnome livecd as well as the minimal install disc and it doesn’t work. I’ve put in the error I get in the image below. The installer worked perfectly yesterday. Internet works fine and I have access to download.opensuse.org.
Wait awhile and try again. The repo is possibly being updated or is currently out of sync.
Well I’ve been trying for the last 10 hours. I’ll wait for some more time and retry.
Test the URL in a web browser.

Already did. It works in the browser. Files/folders are visible.
Then zypper should work.
Why are you trying to create that repository anyway?
It should already exist unless you’re upgrading from another version of openSUSE.
Please run the following command in an elevated console and post the results…
zypper lr -d

Another possibility is that the DNS server you are using is redirecting the updater to a different mirror that is not working. I ran into that before. I simply changed my DNS Server settings to point to a different DNS Server and that solved the problem.

The installer does that. I have not tried to change anything manually.
Please run the following command in an elevated console and post the results…
linux@localhost:~> sudo zypper lr -d

Was using Google DNS. Changed to OpenNIC. Still doesn’t work.
From the live cd. As you can see there is no problem in loading up the URL. Installer bug maybe?
I suspect some anomaly during your install.
Recommend
- If you haven’t already, verify the integrity of your install media using checksums.
- Remove partitions for your current install attempt. This is important so that your installation won’t try to use what has already been written to disk. What remains should be free, unpartitioned space for your new install.
- Install again.

Maybe a:
zypper clean -a && zypper ref
will help?
With the User’s last post we learned that this is not an existing, fully installed system.
The error was generated during initial installation.
TSU
I should read carefully…
Okay. Was worth a try, though, because I have personally had that problem and there have been a few others in the forums that turned out to be the solution.
Good luck.
So I did an install with the DVD iso It added the repos fine without any errors. Updating zypper post install worked fine in this case. But I had configured the partitioning wrongly. So I tried reinstalling. The same error came up during the install. It didn’t come up the first time I tried installing with the DVD iso. I could just skip it because the image contained all packages I needed for the install. After the install was done, I can’t update the repos without the same error popping up. My ISP doesn’t have IPv6 enabled, but OpenSUSE was assigning an address for some reason. I disabled IPv6 just in case. Still nothing.
Tried it out. Didn’t work.

>- If you haven’t already, verify the integrity of your install media using checksums.
Well I doubt something is wrong there. I’ve tried with 3 images now. Twice the first time I installed from the image, it worked fine. Then even if I rewrite the image onto the USB stick, it had issues. The problem with checking checksums now is that the snapshots and their checksums are removed after every couple of days by OpenSUSE and I don’t feel like redownloading everything over my 2 Mbps link again. If I have to do it, I’ll do it. I highly doubt anything is wrong there tho.
>- Remove partitions for your current install attempt. This is important so that your installation won’t try to use what has already been written to disk. What remains should be free, unpartitioned space for your new install.
Done.
>- Install again.
Tried that.
This is my Zypper log. See if you can find any anomaly in there:

BTW Main repo refreshes just fine in Yast2. It’s the OSS and Non-OSS repos having issues.
If you’re trying to re-install exactly (or nearly) what was there before, you can’t just remove partitions(this by itself only works once).
When you remove partitions, the data is still on the disk so when your re-install puts those partitions back <exactly> where they were removed… Guess what, your data magically is there again.
So, if you’re going to re-install exactly what was there before, you can’t just remove partitions.
You need to either zero out or re-format the space, or modify your partition boundaries to be different than what was there before.

I had reformatted the drive. Anyways I rewrote the image to the USB stick and did a reinstall and voila it all worked this time. The issue is fixed for me. Thank you so much for helping me out. lol!
