Its important for any version of opensuse that has Nvidia Video Cards to add the Nvidia Repo. Once the Nvidia Repo is in place the correct Nvidia screen drivers are automatically added to online update and there is no guess work. Yes the native kernel works o.k with all my Nvidia Video cards but it works much faster with their drivers...the Repo is located at ftp://download.nvidia.com/opensuse/12.3/ The banshee repo URL is just wrong and has been for the whole of 12.x....can we fix it once at the source to get everything else working please Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Yast>Software Repositories>Add>Scan for Community> 2.then try to add both Nvida and Banshee Repos and the return URL is just plain madness..In the case of Nvidia we get...http:/.download.........is just plain wrong and Banshee URL is just plain wrong 3.

I'm not going to dispute the concept and advantages of using FTP rather that HTTP. Load Balancing traffic I accept but the native spec for FTP File transport is always far more reliable and natively faster and superior. I respect your decision to load balance and use http but would like to offer the following of why we have FTP traffic in the first instance. However the auto urL insertion currently just doesn’t work for the above reasons...its immediately evident when you try to auto accept scan for community repo's... Purely for notation I'd like to offer the following and this is why ftp was innately designed to function for file transportation as it fundamentally does not rely on http:// GET..... RFC's for FTP offers the following advantages and supports the better management of direction of traffic and with a far lower demand on channel control which overall reduces redundancy checks as http uses far more overhead in simple control channel; making it faster. By further constraint ftp observes the limit of 256 Maximum line length in control channel and the max of 20 commands per second. Http allows for far greater, in the former and far less commands consuming more redundancy traffic overhead...The net overal effect is a faster more durable quality and speed. We can also allow or deny site execution and allow for resume in the case of ALG scanning on the TCP data packet. FTP outbound allow 8-bit strings in control channel and Allows the server to use passive mode (unsafe for server) FTP Inbound allows the same 8-bit string control and the client to use active mode (unsafe for client). FTP internal allows for 8-bit control channel but is safe when neither server or client to be either passive or active. FTP passthrough allows for 8-bit control channel and has both server and client to be both passive and active and is not constrained by port and can use the full port range of 1024-65535 -- 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.

Even my developer contacts at NVIDIA would not be able to convince NVIDIA's webteam to go back to ftp I guess. Also AFAIK open ftp connections at the same time are limited, which is the reason NVIDIA recommends to use http instead of ftp. Probably you could push the limit somehow (not sure), but that's something NVIDIA apparently doesn't want. -- 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.

What's wrong with the NVIDIA http URL? http://download.nvidia.com/opensuse/12.3/ is the correct URL. You know that NVIDIA's webserver is not browsable?

Stefan please click on your own URL...It Wont Resolve...File Not Found...Nvida always use FTP. Stefan...The nature of the traffic is a mute point as I have written very clearly about...I just want to be able to click on the community Repo's and have the correct URL be entered auto and have it work...Its that simple

Stefan please click on your own URL...It Wont Resolve...File Not Found

Again. NVIDIA's webserver is *not* browsable. You need to use (as user root) zypper ar http://download.nvidia.com/opensuse/12.3/ NVIDIA-12.3 zypper ref NVIDIA-12.3-test zypper packages NVIDIA-12.3-test

I think a little less caffeine in the day might help logic prevail and the reply being intelligible. I'm sorry to put this one you but restore all our partners developers faith in that you guys know what your fundamentally on about please....Scott - .AU Now may logic prevail go ito Yast>Software Repo>Add>select the Nvida> see output......since when does a browser care who is behind copy and paste. If ANY URL into a browser doesn’t' resolve its incorrect. Copy http:// URL into it and worry if the user behind is root or anyone. 1111111111 If any of these URL doesn’t put a browsable output on the screen it is not resolvable therefore nil response from root server>translates and gets to real serve and the reply back on your screen shows directory hierarchical directory structure 'If the URL is correct and browsable.'

Off course I choose correctly chosen URL work that the logic behind providing a user interface for users...to work! In every instance it auto inserts what we chose and works like a charm >done. Back to Nvida...change your http:// output to be the use Nvida use for transport. copy and past in you your browser and it is resolved for you Now try ftp://download.nvidia.com/opensuse/12.3/ in your browser..Its resolves perfectly....again insert into yast manual repo and it works.

...

The http URL is correct, just NVIDIA messed up the openSUSE 12.2/12.3 repo recently (also the ftp one). NVIDIA is informed. The reason to use http is, that the webservice is a load balanced web cluster. ftp is not.

I understand we have to use web cluster. Nvidia has not messed up and please I hope you haven’t informed them THEY are WRONG...WE look like hacks when we tell other providers 'they are wrong and will be informed'.. Id like to think we treat our partners with sound logic if nothing else. BTW We stuff up the banshee repo auto inserts as its not even browsable in format! -- 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.

Thank you. The only expected reply would be resolution using logic. Jiri has simply known me for longer years and understands the way I use English.
