Yast cannot access online Repositories

English Applications

Yast and zypper are unable to reach any online repositories. I’ve tried switching off IPv6 on YaST2 - Network Settings, which is supposedly responsible for causing this problem, and switching between Ethernet and wireless, with no result. I am running 13.1 in a 64 bit environment.

Try some zypper command in verbose mode, and paste it all here, from
initial command prompt, to last command prompt, in a single mouse sweep,
and please do so inside code tags (the ‘#’ button in the forum editor).

For instance:


Telcontar:~ # zypper -v refresh
Verbosity: 1
Initializing Target
Specified repositories:

Thank you, as an example I took git and mplayer, which seems quite fool proof to me.

user@linux-lufr:~> sudo zypper -v install mplayer
Verbosity: 1
Non-option program arguments: 'mplayer' 
Initializing Target
Checking whether to refresh metadata for VLC
Checking whether to refresh metadata for nVidia Graphics Drivers
Loading repository data...
Reading installed packages...
Force resolution: No
'mplayer' not found in package names. Trying capabilities.
No provider of 'mplayer' found.
Resolving package dependencies...
Force resolution: No

Nothing to do.

user@linux-lufr:~> sudo zypper -v install git
Verbosity: 1
Non-option program arguments: 'git' 
Initializing Target
Checking whether to refresh metadata for VLC
Checking whether to refresh metadata for nVidia Graphics Drivers
Loading repository data...
Reading installed packages...
Force resolution: No
'git' not found in package names. Trying capabilities.
No provider of 'git' found.
Resolving package dependencies...
Force resolution: No

Nothing to do.

What’s the output from ‘zypper lr’?

I don’t see a problem there, except that you don’t have a repo that list
mplayer. Add one.

Look, I suggested “zypper -v refresh” because that would have explained
your problem. Trying to install mplayer does not.

Thank you for the exact command, solved it according to its information.
Some repositories were disabled, after enabling and rebooting, everything works fine.

Why the rebooting???
