http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1140590 Bug ID: 1140590 Summary: download.opensuse.org appears to be the hard-coded source for packages in the network install images Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Distribution Version: Leap 15.1 Hardware: Other OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation Assignee: yast2-maintainers@suse.de Reporter: ernst@pleiszenburg.de QA Contact: jsrain@suse.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- I recently tried to install openSUSE Leap 15.1 from the 120 MByte network image. It coincided with server issues at download.opensuse.org a couple of weeks ago, which was basically not working at the time. So I tried to switch to another mirror ... # What worked In the network image's Grub menu, I could tell where to download the installer (the 6 parts of it) from. So here I could avoid going through download.opensuse.org just fine. # What did not work Once the installer had started, it attempted to download a package index ... from download.opensuse.org. No matter what I did, I could not motivate the installer to retrieve the package index elsewhere. # What (eventually) worked (again) Once I managed to install the system in very slow motion (I went for a very minimal installation), I could change the repository URLs within the system with YaST/zypper away from download.opensuse.org to another mirror and get the rest of the installation done this way. # Likely workarounds Install entirely offline from DVD(?). # Summary Being unable to configure a package (index) mirror in the installer is a major flaw and turns the resolver download.opensuse.org into a single point of failure.
