Noob here…
Running TW on an AMD Gnome Wayland laptop. I’m getting the “Warning: Digest verification failed for file” error this morning when I run zypper.
Anyone else getting this error? Should I just try again tomorrow? Or is there something else I should do? Refresh the repos? (a google search suggested that)
I couldn’t find any recent forum posts on this topic.
Show the command you executed and the output you got, in code tags.
As always, this could well just be a matter of the mirrors syncing up, but without seeing the actual output you get and the command you ran, it’s impossible to say what the issue might be.
Also include the execution and output of zypper lr -d.
Whoops. I should have done that first. See below. Anything interesting?

Accepting packages with wrong checksums can lead to a corrupted system and in extreme cases even to a system compromise.
However if you made certain that the file with checksum '701f..' is secure, correct
and should be used within this operation, enter the first 4 characters of the checksum
to unblock using this file on your own risk. Empty input will discard the file.

Yes, my experience is that many of my Linux/TW issues fix themselves in a day or so. But I usually like to post a question in case there’s something important that I need to know. The extra info helps a noob like me understand Linux better.
See below. I’m presuming these are safe commands that are very, very unlikely to cause any problems? I’m a noob so I need to ask this question first.
sudo zypper clean --all
sudo zypper ref
If you are unsure about some basic zypper coomands, you can have a look at man zypper.
But yes, the above commands are safe (in opposite to some arbitrary GDrive links).
clean (cc) [options] [alias|name|#|URI] ...
Clean the local caches for all known or specified repositories. By default,
only caches of downloaded packages are cleaned.
-m, --metadata
Clean repository metadata cache instead of package cache.
-M, --raw-metadata
Clean repository raw metadata cache instead of package cache.
-a, --all
Clean both repository metadata and package caches.
refresh (ref) [alias|name|#|URI] ...
Refresh repositories specified by their alias, name, number, or URI. If no repositories are specified, all enabled repositories will
be refreshed.
See also METADATA REFRESH POLICY section for more details.
OK, I ran the two commands. Output below. The “sudo zypper ref” command triggered the same “Warning: Digest verification failed for file” error. Is the error connected with the Wireguard repo? I searched the forums for “Wireguard” but didn’t find anything relevant.

Maybe wait with update or use a mirror.

Information for package wireguard:
----------------------------------
Repository : wireguard
Name : wireguard
Version : 1.0.20200401-40.2
Arch : x86_64
Vendor : obs://build.opensuse.org/network
Installed Size : 18.0 KiB
Installed : No
Status : not installed
Source package : wireguard-1.0.20200401-40.2.src
Upstream URL : https://www.wireguard.com/
Summary : Fast, modern, secure kernel VPN tunnel
Description :
WireGuard is a novel VPN that runs inside the Linux Kernel and uses
state-of-the-art cryptography (the "Noise" protocol). It aims to be
faster, simpler, leaner, and more useful than IPSec, while avoiding
the massive headache. It intends to be considerably more performant
than OpenVPN. WireGuard is designed as a general purpose VPN for
running on embedded interfaces and super computers alike, fit for
many different circumstances. It runs over UDP.

Obviously you are diverted to a mirror out of sync.
How can I fix this? I’m a noob so specific simple instructions instructions are most helpful. Any good links?
Anyway I can prevent the diversion to a Wireguard mirror?
If I’m being diverted to a mirror, I’m guessing there’s a reason why that’s happening. What’s the reason or the usual reason?
I’ve never worked with repos.
download.opensuse.org is a redirector, maybe your used server is not up to date.
https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Mirrors
You can use a mirror from here:
https://mirrors.opensuse.org/
Can you give me the sudo zypper dup command to use this mirror?
On this side you see all the mirrors and not one. You have to choose one near by you and goto the oprator field and then down to your preferd mirror.
Add it with myrlyn.
Try cdn.opensuse.org first.
Myrlyn says I need to refresh before using Myrlyn. But sudo zypper ref gets error before completing. Catch 22. See below. How to fix this?
Now it appears the “snappy” repo is messed up.
