Installation source not refreshed? Huh?
Ok, first of all I'm trying to get Suse 10 to install my nvidia driver. However, first I think I need to get beyond the "Installation source not refreshed" whenever I bring up the Software Management. What in the Sam H E double hockey sticks does that mean? Were it not for my 64 bit and dual core issues, I'd go back to 9.3.
Thanks for any help you can give me. |
You need to enable refreshing of your software repos so that YAST has a fresh list of packages available from your repos. YAST -> Software -> Installation Sources -> select the source and click on enable refresh.
|
Do you have any sources that are on your local computer. I find that directories on my computer always suffer that fate.
|
Hmmm...OK...I'll try that, thanks.
|
Still, when I get into software management, it says that my sources aren't refreshed.
.............. Jongi, I am a big fan of Suse. I've tried Mandriva and a variety of others. It just seems like Suse has a bit more to offer. I'm just pissed because not even M$ has got all it's ducks in a row when it comes to the 64 bit + dual core SLI. Of course with Macro$haft: Personally, I think that even the vendors are getting a bit sick and tired of being jerked about like a bunch of sock puppets during an all night porn fest! |

I find it easy sometimes...to d/l rpms to my home/raf folder..which i have added as a source on prog management.

no..it wont update the source..i use this becouse...i d/l some new rpms..and then one day instal them one by one...so i dont need to constantly re-add this source..
|
I am having the exact same problem... tried deleting the sources and re-adding them, installing from somewhere else, etc, etc.... same problem on 2 PCs now!! anyone found a fix?
|
If it is a web based resource it may be because the server is down or taking too long to respond.
|
No, it is on a local folder..
|
See if u can find a mirror for the source closer to your location...
|
I guess this means that SUSE 10 is unable to handle a local folder as software sourec. I'm pretty sure SUSE 9.3 could though.
|
I always get 'Installation source not refreshed' errors for my local folder installation sources. However it seems the directories still work. I installed the Psi Jabber client from an rpm in my /home/?/bin/ folder and it works fine. It could be the same for you, that the 'installation source not refreshed' has no functional meaning.
|
Schalken: I find that if I add a new rpm to the directory, YaST will not see it. Those that where in the folder when you added the directory will work no problems.
|
did anyone ever find a way to install rpm's form local directories? ive been trying every way possible and couldnt find a way to run them. always got installation not refreshed error. ive tried using the terminal command yast -i \whereverRPMis\something.rpm. i tried deleting the source and re adding it. i tried with refresh on and off. always the same result. im using the suse 10.0 with 64-bit. hoping someone could finally solve this problem. thanks in advance
|
Hopefully fixed in 10.1
|
it is fixed. no more refresh errors
|
Great! Then tell me where the best place is to download 10.1....because I'm getting a bit ticked off at 10.0. Oh, BTW...Thanks everyone for your help. Obviously I still haven't resolved the problem....I just gave up for a bit. My new problem with it is "ERROR: THE FOLLOWING PACKAGES HAVEN'T BEEN FOUND ON THE MEDIA"....Then it lists whatever rpm I'm trying to install. I think I'll do a search and then post a seperate thread if I can't find the answer. Thanks again all!
