Today, I turned my computer on (it’ been off for 1 week) and suddenly, yast was unable to connect to the internet.
Strange : Proxy is set to NO PROXY, KDE network manager works fine (both WiFi & Ethernet), Firefox connects to the Web, KMail too… :-/
curl & wget work great for both user & superuser…
Amarok fetches lyrics on the Web without an issue and so does Plasma to fetch new plasmoids…
I erased the whole list of repos, logged out & back in, got to yast, added the community repos… and tada ! yast worked and told me the repos that were available. So I check the ones I want and clicked “add”… and get an error :
Failed to add repo “xxx”
blablabla…TIMED OUT…
What should I do ?
OpenSUSE 12.1, x86_64, KDE 4.7.2, never added any non official repos.
Thanks !

tell you the truth, i don’t yet know what the problem is, but i might
know more if you do these commands in a terminal, and return the output

When you add a bunch at the same time and then get the error, you will never now which one is the culprit. Thus add them one by one until you got stuck.
BTW, I guess you mean YaST Software Management and not YaST in general. And also, when the standard repos are working, then YaST has no problemss going to the Internet, where do you think those repos are?

It is not YaST that "can access the Internet. When you system can, YaST will use that. And when you can e.g. work with thtse forums from that system, your system can access the Internet.
your *zypper lr -d * shows a lot of rubbish. The OSS, non-OSS and Update repos should NOT have a Packman URL. And of course having four (4) URLs the same is not helping. Look at mine:

I removed extra repos I have from this list so you can see the standard ones. Hence the numbering does not run 1,2,3, …
But important is that you see what the URIs at the end look like. That is completely different from what you have. I do not know what you did to bork thhis completely.
In any case a completely destroyed list of repos does not point to an Intenet access problem at all.

It would show in the log.

yep, but following each URL was one of four different repos…
and, by doing it that way you were able to add repos, which you were
unable to do in yast…however we still have problems with the repos…
it is only a wild guess, but maybe you are running into an IPv6 problem,
so try using the free DNS provided by Google…follow the directions
here carefully:

All the logs in Linux go to “/var/log/”. In this case the most likely path
is “/var/log/YaST2”, file “y2log”.
And yes, IPv6 is a likely culprit. The “http://download.opensuse.org/”
place is really a redirector to mirrors all over the world, and the logs
should show how they resolve in fact.

Check “zypper lr --details”, column “Type”. “rpm-md” types have repodata,
“yast2” types do not. The oss repo is tf the later.

Nope. It is detected when the repo is added, and it fails to detect the
correct type if the connection fails at that moment.
You have to search the y2log, for a string matching the repo name from the
bottom-up. And then search down for the errors. If you don’t know how,
upload the file to our pastebin (time limit a month or so).
