In detail: My system is OpenSuse Leap 15.1 beta. My calculator is an Acer Extensa, distribution: openSUSE Leap 15.1 beta, kernel version: 4.12.14-lp150.11-default (or similar), slightly pimped with a 2 core processor
Problem 1: Reinstallation via wlan, Error retrieving the 1st package from the Linux server, the package is faulty. I can not say anything more about this mistake. Maybe the download link points to a wrong path. (my guess) Problem 2: After an update, the touchpad did not work anymore. Problem solved with the following update.
to 1: Loading http: //download.opensuse/distribution (more I could not recognize) Then came the red box with the contents: Installation system does not match your boot medium. Sorry, this will not work. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

This is already better, but: - Which system did you start from? openSUSE 15.0 or some (and which) earlier version? Or some (and which) non-SUSE system? - There is more than one way to start an upgrade with openSUSE. Which exact commands and/or mouseclicks did you use? - Even for openSUSE 15.1 beta, there are several ways to install the system. If you suspect that you got a wrong URL, you could go back (starting with some system including a functioning X11 or even Windows installation and a functioning GUI browser) to the place where all these various methods start from, namely https://software.opensuse.org/distributions/testing . If you choose to do that, please tell us where you went from there. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

(In reply to Tony Mechelynck from comment #19)
I've seen worse Google translations.
In the light of your comment #18, and considering that the openSUSE developers (of which I am not one) seem unable to reproduce your problem (and reproducing it is the first step towards solving it) maybe we could resolve this bug WORKSFORME (possibly after some "reasonable" waiting period) unless someone else comes up with the same problem, what do you think? The alternative, I fear, it to see the bug become inactive and someday long afterward (maybe after the 15.2 release) resolved WONTFIX, INCOMPLETE or even INVALID.
Should we close this bug?
The reason I didn't RESOLVE it immediately is (a) out of a wish to keep the reporter "bugzilla-friendly" and (b) against the case that someone else, maybe more fluent in English, would be affected by the same bug and could help make it a thing of the past before it becomes (who knows?) a plague for people wanting to net-install the final 15.1 release once it comes out. This bug has been open for a little more than a month, but in the beginning it didn't contain enough information for developers to even try reproducing it. Unless someone voices a contrary opinion, I propose to add now the text [CLOSEME WFM 2019-06-01] to the Whiteboard and to close it begin June (a little more than a month from now, and a week or so IIUC after 15.1 final release) if no additional information (and no news of someone other than the reporter being affected, or at least able to reproduce the problem) comes out before then. (_I_ don't feel fluent enough in _German_ to try starting a conversation with the reporter in his own language in order to get -and bring here- a clearer idea of how to reproduce the problem.) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

To reproduce the problem, I can offer to once again push the installation via the USB stick via W-Lan. Is it possible to do the installation via console?
If you have an already functioning system of the immediately preceding version (15.0, no earlier), upgrading via console (even with no X11 running) is rather easy once one gets the hang of it: it means using "zypper dup" and if you're interested I can tell you a few "tips and tricks" to do it really easily over the Net without any risk of losing any part of your choice of packages or of your favorite set of download-and-update repositories. OTOH, if you want (or need) to start from scratch from a non-Linux system (possibly on a machine recently built from separate hardware parts, as we used to do when the PC-XT and IBM PC-DOS 2.5 were "the state of the art"), then it is necessary to find a bootable "installation system" somewhere (nowadays that means booting a DVD or a USB stick) and proceed from there. What _I_ would do in that case is use the 3.6 GiB DVD, which doesn't need a working network until it boots the newly-installed HD system to get the latest updates of everything, because in the past I've had problems trying to install over the Net with an "install system" booted, at the time, from a CD: it couldn't find how to use my network hardware, while the HD system could. YMMV of course. All in all, I consider it doable but much less easy (for me) than zypper dup. If you want to repeat exactly what you did before, I would advise you to get into contact with some German-speaking experienced openSUSE user or developer ready to follow you at every step. Experienced German-speaking users of openSUSE are not a rarity (SUSE Linux GmbH is headquartered in Nuremberg after all); finding one ready to follow you, watch you, help you every step of the way may be harder. If there is a "Linux users club" near your home I would advise you to get someone from there to sit next to you while you repeat the procedure: maybe (s)he will have the "bright idea" that will get the matter moving. And finally, my suggestion to move this bug towards an eventual WFM resolution (i.e., if my Google-translate abilities are acceptable, "nach eine zukünftige WORKSFORME Lösung"), unless it becomes a real nuisance for the whole community, still stands. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

And how do I do that?
Possibility 1 (close it now, which I don't recommend) move the "Status" rolldown below to RESOLVED, this will bring up a second rolldown labeled "Resolution": turn that to WORKSFORME, then click "Save Changes". Possibility 2 (mark it for later resolution): scroll to the top of the page, write "[CLOSEME WFM 2019-06-01]" (without the quotes) into the "Whiteboard" box, and click "Save Changes" -- I see two buttons so named, one at top right and one near bottom center: they are equivalent. In that case, if there is no change until June, I (or someone) will close the bug then. Regardless of which permissions you have in this Bugzilla installation in general, you can always make changes in the bugs you reported yourself (such as this one). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

My laptop only has Opensuse 15.1 beta on the record and I have been doing updates with Zypper dup for years.
Please don't get angry: anything that you don't say I cannot guess. So maybe I said things which you already knew; I believe it is better to say things the other guy knows, than to leave out important things which the other guy might not know.
However, that goes something about my question. The question was, how can I perform a new installation of OpenSUSE 15.1 beta over the console to better understand the error in the USB - Wlan installation.
I never tried that; but AFAIK booting the CD or DVD image means interacting with the "special instances" of X11 and YaST which are part of the "temporary system, for installation". Maybe, as I said, you can find someone to talk to you in German about just that. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
