[Bug 251320] New: Installation complains about ftp://134.76.11.100/%2fpub/
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=251320 Summary: Installation complains about ftp://134.76.11.100/%2fpub/ Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Final Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: uli.2001@gmx.de QAContact: jsrain@novell.com I boot from the "mini ISO" CD and try to install over FTP. The graphical installation program loads successfully from that FTP, but then it starts looking for installation sources and tries to access "ftp://134.76.11.100/%2fpub/opensuse/..." and fails. Then I cannot continue the installation. In the text mode installation phase, I changed the default path "/" to "/pub/opensuse/...". Should I have typed "pub/opensuse/..."? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=251320 ------- Comment #1 from uli.2001@gmx.de 2007-03-10 03:39 MST ------- I can add the following information: I am not sure whether the default path is "/" or empty. After the setup program complained about not being able to access the path above, I changed it in the "details" window by removing %2f. After that, it worked, but still showed with address with %2f. I am not sure what was going on here. However, it took forever to download all the files from distribution/10.2/repo/oss/suse/setup/descr (several seconds for each file, even though I have a 4 Mbit/s connection which downloads big files from that ftp server at a fast speed). Furthermore, in the beginning of the setup program, it had trouble loading the e1000 driver of my network card (it was loaded automatically, but then the setup program said that I have to load a network driver first). In the end, the setup over ftp did not work (unfortunately, I forgot the exact reason). All in all, trying to install over ftp was a very disappointing and time consuming try that did not work. I ended up downloading the DVD iso. Then the setup worked fine. In the past (with Suse 9.x), I made very good experiences with the ftp installation which I used several times. I am not sure why it does not work so quick and reliable anymore. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

AFAIK there have not been any other reports about this problem. Adding the %2f to the FTP path is essential in some cases (it is important to distinguish between relative and absolute path). It works well for me. Since I don't expect to get the logs from the installation, I'm closing this bug as WORKSFORME. Of course, if you can get them, please, reopen this bug and attach them. It might have been caused by temporary problem of the server (don't know if you tried different mirror). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
