During installation, in the adding separate media step, there is an option to add a repository. I tried that, set up networking, and accepted the default selection of Main-OSS and Main-nonOSS. Those added fine. I then tried to add ftp://download.nvidia.com/opensuse/12.3/ by using the "Specify URL" option, but the next step to check repository type froze. The only way I got off that screen was crtl+alt+F1, then ctrl+c to kill the process and reboot. There was no problem with the repository; I could access it from another machine while the installation was frozen. This happens with both 32-bit and 64-bit installation. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Start installation of either 32-bit or 64-bit 2.Add Main-OSS and Main-nonOSS repositories 3.Try to add ftp://download.nvidia.com/opensuse/12.3/ Actual Results: Installation sticks at step "check repository type". Have to switch to console and kill process to get out. Expected Results: Add the nvidia repository and let me include the proprietary drivers during installation. For me, including the nvidia proprietary drivers in the initial installation (see https://forums.opensuse.org/english/get-technical-help-here/install-boot-log...) does work around the install or boot issues some people report. -- 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.
