Hi all,
could someone tell me what the following error message means when I try to configure Online Update on an older OpenSUSE 10.3 that worked before:
Execute curl command failed with '7': curl: (7) couldn't connect to host
When I try to add a repo e.g.: http://download.opensuse.org/update/10.3/, it creates a http://download.opensuse.org/update/10.3/repodata/ link and says that it could not connect to host. I can navigate to http://download.opensuse.org/update/10.3/repodata/ with firefox and see all the patches. The mirrors like gwdg in Germany does not have 10.3 anymore?
Do we have problems with the Nürenberg/German sites again?
TIA
:-)

I was having problems with this on the weekend doing an update from 10.3 to 11.0 on a running system (which was successful, in the end...); the problem was that curl was using my local squid proxy, but squid kept crashing due to zypper having filled up /var with all of the downloaded rpm's. They were already installed but the complete update process hadn't yet finished so they hadn't been removed. Took me ages to figure that one out. Once I ran "zypper clean", then restarted squid with a /var partition that had some room again, everything completed fine.
Thing is, I'm not sure where curl detects its proxy settings from. With Firefox set to connect directly with no proxy I was also able to browse the repositories online (which only served to confirm that the problem was indeed at my end...).
YMMV.
Cheers, Rodney.
sudo "zypper clean" root's password: sudo: zypper clean: command not found
I see no "clean" switch for with zypper -h
I have "zypper-0.8.26.0.1.x86_64-suse-linux" and "Linux Server1 2.6.22.19-0.1-default #1 SMP 2008-10-14 22:17:43 +0200 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux"
I deleted all the repos with yast, but cannot add them any more, not even the "community repos"
TIA

There seems to be an atavistic problem with the update repository that is probably transient. This morning I got this: 11:17 providence~> sudo zypper in opera Refreshing Main Update Repository Repository Main Update Repository is invalid. File ./repodata/patch-OpenOffice_org-5738.xml not found on media: http://download.opensuse.org/update/10.3/ Please, check if the URLs defined for this repository are pointing to a valid repository. Disabling repository Main Update Repository because of the above error. 11:17 is CST time or 17:17 zulu. I then tried again a few minutes ago and all is fine: 12:41 providence~> sudo zypper ref Refreshing 'update.de' * Building repository 'update.de' cache <snip> Refreshing 'Main Update Repository' * Cleaning repository 'Main Update Repository' cache * Building repository 'Main Update Repository' cache Repository 'openSUSE BuildService - X11:XGL' is up to date. All repositories have been refreshed. So whatever problem there was at 11:17 was gone by 12:41. -- David C.
