Dear all,

Also I couldn’t get community repositorys list

i already put http_proxy setting in my profile, and it’s work, I could use wget to download file from internet(including wget repomd.xml files from repository) by using both normal user or superuser. So did from YaST control Center -> proxy, the test process was fine

Please help me with this problem, was that related to proxy settings?
Or did I miss something else?

thanks in advance,
teguh

I successfully ran the graphical interface this way:

  • I opened a terminal
  • switched to root
  • typed the ‘magic expression’: export ZYPP_ARIA2C=0
  • typed: yast2
  • from the panel select ‘Software Update’ (or anything else), the proxy left me out on app.

summary:

export ZYPP_ARIA2C=0
