10.2 can find repositories?

tlarkin · 12-15-2006, 09:03 AM

I just installed 10.2 on my laptop clean install and I can not get apt or yum to work. They can't find or look up any repositories. Now, I haven't loaded 10.2 on my desktop yet at work, but in 10.1 on my desktop apt and yum still work great no problems.

Anyone else have this problem? I looked through that HUGE thread but didn't find anything specific to the problem I was having so I just made a new thread.

Thanks

Have you added repositories to the Installation sources in YaST? I added a couple of sites (there are non by default) and YaST updates works fine now.

How did you decide which ones to add?

Edit: I see that you have to "configure online updates" in Yast. Novell will hook you up with an update server. Now the updates are available for me.

ROTFLMAO - I like this so much that I put it at the top of my web site's home page (still under heavy construction) and credited you, Adrian. If you are quoting someone else let me know so I can correct my site. If you follow the link, let me know if the flags at the top are waving. I'm having a hard time getting them to work consistently.

Thanks for the laugh!

sorry, I posted the config already on another thread but no one was able to help me so I made a new thread. I know I probably shouldn't have done that, but here is a link to it.

http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...d.php?t=510160

Code:

linux-82qb:/home/tlarkin # installation_sources -s
# | Enabled | Refresh | Type | Name                    | URI                                                  
--+---------+---------+------+-------------------------+----------
1 | No      | Yes     | YaST | 20061213-102814         | http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/10.2/repo/non-oss/
2 | Yes     | Yes     | YUM  | SUSE-Linux-10.2-Updates | http://suse.mirrors.tds.net/pub/suse/update/10.2     
3 | No      | Yes     | YaST | 20061213-084109         | http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/10.2/repo/oss/
4 | Yes     | No      | YaST | 20061212-093148         | cd:///?devices=/dev/sr0

However, when I run YUM i get these results:

Code:

linux-82qb:/home/tlarkin # yum update
Setting up Update Process
Setting up repositories
No Repositories Available to Set Up
Reading repository metadata in from local files
No Packages marked for Update/Obsoletion

I have tried adding urls for repositories by using the installation_source -a nameofurl, but it doesn't seem to work? Is this broken in suse 10.2?

yeah my previous post and your post pretty much prove i was being dumb, for some reason I thought when i installed the packages they already put them in yast. I never once had to configure it in 10.1....

Oh well thanks for everyone who helped

I'd love to have written it....but sadly I found it on the internet.

Oh well. According to http://www.wisdomquotes.com/002259.html the quote comes from Robert Wilensky. I must change my signature and give the guy due credit.
Your webpage wouldn't load at all by the way. It just timed out.

All the best

Grrr... My NAT box is starting to piss me off. Everything works fine, but every few hours it shuts out my web server. Everything else is good, except my web site doesn't work. Reboot the NAT box, and things are pretty again (for a few hours). Piddling with the MTU as the manufacturer suggested has helped nothing.

Keep trying the web site if you want and you'll eventually catch it at a time when it is not down.

Thanks for a name to put on the quote, though.
