You downloaded a factory snapshot..therefore the only part of that URL you need to follow is the 'Front Scratch' section..it's one line quote: "Download an image, burn it on a DVD or write it to a USB stick and launch the installation from there after a reboot." All the other stuff you followed, is in the 'UPGRADE' section of the wiki page, as you can see by the fact it's under the Upgrade sub header.. So, it looks to me that you installed Factory, and then tried to upgrade Factory to Factory Which is so wrong, I'm not sure if the misbehaviour you report with "zypper ar .." is actually a legitimate problem with zypper in Factory, or just a result of totally unexpected side effects of attempting to upgrade something to itself ;-) Maybe you can just reinstall from the media?
Specifically this bit

Then add the new repos
zypper ar -f -c http://download.opensuse.org/factory/repo/oss repo-oss zypper ar -f -c http://download.opensuse.org/factory/repo/non-oss repo-non-oss zypper ar -f -c http://download.opensuse.org/factory/repo/debug repo-debug
Oh, yea, pigs will fly, senor! :-(
No such repos were added - but invoking each of the above commands produced the "help" screen for zypper.
Then I decided to use YaST to install the above repos - and guess what? The piggies did not even begin to show signs of growing wings! :-( The YaST repository screen was empty and remained empty.
So, is the blurb in http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Factory_installation rubbish or is there something missing in the Factory Snapshot I downloaded last night?
Does anyone have an answer re this, please?
