Can anyone suggest where I am going wrong?
I get the same thing.
For server name enter: ftp.gwdg.de
For the directory enter:
/pub/linux/suse/ftp.suse.com/suse/i386/supplementary/KDE/update_for_8.2/yas t-source
or for SuSE 9.0:
/pub/linux/suse/ftp.suse.com/suse/i386/supplementary/KDE/update_for_9.0/yas t-source
Even using this I have never been able to get YaST2 to accept a new installation source via ftp using SuSE 9.0 i386. In SLP 8.X this worked just great.

Oddly enough, I was experiencing the same problem. Had to nuke with X session twice to kill it. But now, I have a second source, which was the one I tried to add twice. So After re-booting alas it works. Go figure. Sounds like a bug to me. Dee

Those directories have an interposed ftp.suse.com that's probably messing them up. Many folks have had these difficulties -- but the problem is solvable. Here's something pretty foolproof (I hope): 1. Using ftp via Konqeror or otherwise, display on your screen the directory containing the rpms you're looking for. The fact that you can see them ensures that you have determined a correct path to those rpms. 2. If the path does not end in /suse/i586, this directory is not usable for Yast. 3. If it does end in /suse/i586, use the path with these two components truncated, separating out the server, of course, which goes in the first box in the Yast screen. I hope this puts the matter to rest. Paul Abrahams

The path is right. I change to use the host ftp.suse.com. It is missing several files according to the YaST2 log in /var/log/YaST2/y2log One question. Do you have it working under 9.0? It worked great under 8.x/ Best Regards. -- _/_/_/ Bob Pearson gottadoit@mailsnare.net _/_/_/ "The best way to get information on Usenet is not to ask a _/_/_/ question, but to post the wrong information." - Aahz' Law

KDE 3.2 has been a disaster for me, but others have had better experiences. I'm running SuSE 9.0. Paul Abrahams

I left feedback to SuSE. The /var/log/YaST2/y2log file shows it looking for files it cannot find.
