Hello,
“sudo zypper up”

and
sudo zypper in vlc
.
Accessing the software management failed. /etc/zypp/zypp.conf: Section ]: Line 2 contains garbage (no ‘=’ or ',|/' in key)

Well, could you copy paste the first 5 lines of your zypp.conf?
It’s pretty clear there are some extra characters in the configuration file - perhaps you did a :wq or similar and ended up adding some characters to the start of the file.
Thanks for replying Miuku,
Configuration file for software management## /etc/zypp/zypp.conf
Boolean values are 0 1 yes no on off true false
[main]
Override the detected architecture
Valid values: i586, i686, x86_64, ppc, ppc64, ia64, s390, s390x, …
Default value: Autodetected
** CAUTION: Only set if you know what you’re doing !
** Changing this needs a full refresh (incl. download)
** of all repository data.
arch = s390
Path where the caches are kept.
Valid values: A directory
Default value: /var/cache/zypp
cachedir = /var/cache/zypp
Path where the repo metadata is downloaded and kept.
Valid values: A directory
Default value: {cachedir}/raw
Changing this needs a full refresh (incl. download) of all repository data
metadatadir = /var/cache/zypp/raw
Path where the repo solv files are created and kept.
Valid values: A directory
Default value: {cachedir}/solv
solvfilesdir = /var/cache/zypp/solv
Path where the repo packages are downloaded and kept.
Valid values: A directory
Valid values: A directory
Default value: {cachedir}/packages
packagesdir = /var/cache/zypp/packages
Path where the configuration files are kept.
Valid values: A directory
Default value: /etc/zypp
configdir = /etc/zypp
Path where the known repositories .repo files are kept
Valid values: A directory
Default value: {configdir}/repos.d
Changing this invalidates all known repositories
reposdir = /etc/zypp/repos.d
Path where the known services .service files are kept
Valid values: A directory
Default value: {configdir}/services.d
Changing this invalidates all known services
servicesdir = /etc/zypp/services.d
Whether repository urls should be probed when added
Valid values: boolean
Default value: false
If true, accessability of repositories is checked immediately (when added)
(e.g. ‘zypper ar’ will check immediately)
If false, accessability of repositories is checked when refreshed
(e.g. ‘zypper ar’ will delay the check until the next refresh)
repo.add.probe = false
Amount of time in minutes that must pass before another refresh.
Valid values: Integer
Default value: 10
If you have autorefresh enabled for a repository, it is checked for
up-to-date metadata not more often than every <repo.refresh.delay>
minutes. If an automatic request for refresh comes before <repo.refresh.delay>
minutes passed since the last check, the request is ignored.
A value of 0 means the repository will always be checked. To get the oposite
effect, disable autorefresh for your repositories.
This option has no effect for repositories with autorefresh disabled, nor for
user-requested refresh.
repo.refresh.delay = 10
Translated package descriptions to download from repos.
A list of locales for which translated package descriptions should
be downloaded, in case they are availavble and the repo supports this.
Not all repo formats support downloading specific translations only.
Valid values: List of locales like ‘en’, ‘en_US’…
Default value: RequestedLocales
If data for a specific locale are not available, we try to find some
fallback. Translations for ‘en’ are always downloaded.
repo.refresh.locales = en, de
Maximum number of concurrent connections to use per transfer
Valid values: Integer
Default value: 5
This setting is only used if more than one is possible
Setting it to a reasonable number avoids flooding servers
download.max_concurrent_connections = 5
Sets the minimum download speed (bytes per second)
until the connection is dropped
This can be useful to prevent security attacks on hosts by
providing updates at very low speeds.
0 means no limit
download.min_download_speed = 0
Maximum download speed (bytes per second)
0 means no limit
download.max_download_speed = 0
Number of tries per download which will be
done without user interaction
0 means no limit (use with caution)
download.max_silent_tries = 5
Maximum time in seconds that you allow a transfer operation to take.
This is useful for preventing your batch jobs from hanging for hours due
to slow networks or links going down. Limiting operations to less than a
few minutes risk aborting perfectly normal operations.
Valid values: [0,3600]
Default value: 180
download.transfer_timeout = 180
Whether to consider using a .delta.rpm when downloading a package
Valid values: boolean
Default value: true
Using a delta rpm will decrease the download size for package updates
since it does not contain all files of the package but only the binary
diff of changed ones. Recreating the rpm package on the local machine
is an expensive operation (memory,CPU). If your network connection is
not too slow, you benefit from disabling .delta.rpm.
download.use_deltarpm = true
Whether to consider using a deltarpm even when rpm is local
Valid values: boolean
Default value: false
This option has no effect unless download.use_deltarpm is set true.
download.use_deltarpm.always = false
Hint which media to prefer when installing packages (download vs. CD).
Valid values: download, volatile
Default value: download
Note that this just a hint. First of all the solver will choose the ‘best’
package according to its repos priority, version and architecture. But if
there is a choice, we will prefer packages from the desired media.
Packages available locally are always preferred. The question is whether
you prefer packages being downloaded via FTP/HTTP/HTTPS (download), rather
than being prompted to insert a CD/DVD (volatile), in case they are available
on both media.
Name | Priority | URI
openSUSE-11.1 99 dvd:///
In the above example 2 repositories with similar content are used. Rather
than raising the priority of one of them to ‘prefer’ a certain media, you
should use the same priority for both and set download.media_preference
instead.
download.media_preference = download
Commit download policy to use as default.
DownloadOnly, Just download all packages to the local cache.
Do not install. Implies a dry-run.
DownloadInAdvance, First download all packages to the local cache.
Then start to install.
DownloadInHeaps, Similar to DownloadInAdvance, but try to split
the transaction into heaps, where at the end of
each heap a consistent system state is reached.
DownloadAsNeeded Alternating download and install. Packages are
cached just to avid CD/DVD hopping. This is the
traditional behaviour.
<UNSET> If a value is not set, empty or unknown, we pick
some sane default.
commit.downloadMode =
Defining directory which contains vendor description files.
One file in this directory reflects a group of equivalent vendors. e.G.:
(filename is “nvidia” but could be any other name):
------------------------- file contains begin -----------------------
[main]
vendors = nvidia,suse,opensuse
------------------------- file contains end --------------------------

The first few lines clearly contain something that makes zypper choke - mainly line 2.
Make a copy of the zypp.conf and delete the first 3 lines and see if it fixes the issue.
Hi,
I always tell folks to make a backup of anything/everything before they do some modification/editing regardless how/what type of editor you are using. That being said you can compare
Assuming diff is installed you can do this to compare your zypp.conf to my default zypp.conf
diff -u /etc/zypp/zypp.conf <(curl -Lsf http://paste.opensuse.org/view/raw/97198435)
Note that diff has many options, try it without an option as well.
You can replace your zypp.conf also
This needs to be run as root directly and it will replace your zypp.conf at once.
curl -Lsf http://paste.opensuse.org/view/raw/97198435 > /etc/zypp/zypp.conf
If you don’t wan to run curl as root then you can just redirect it to a temp file probably in /tmp.
As a normal user run.
curl -Lsf http://paste.opensuse.org/view/raw/97198435 > /tmp/zypp.conf
Then just copy it to your zypp.conf
cp -v /tmp/zypp.conf /etc/zypp/zypp.conf
