Factory Media Exception Error
With Beta 6 I could see the Factory repository, even if I couldn't download much (about every third package seemed to be missing when I went to do updates :-( ), but with Beta 8, I can't add the factory repository. I've tried rug and YaST, but with opensuse.org, gwdg.de and uni-heidelberg.de I get a Media Exception error when adding the url :-( I thought at first that I was typing it incorrectly, so I browsed the repository with Firefox and copy and pasted the url across to YaST and rug, but both of them come up with a Media Exception either when creating the repository (YaST) or trying to install a package (rug). Is this a known problem with Beta 8? I did a search, but it didn't show any results for this... (Searching media exception, factory and yast). Can anyone point me to an open bug, or shall I raise a new one? Dave -- "I got to go figure," the tenant said. "We all got to figure. There's some way to stop this.

This is not yet a known bug - file it with component "libzypp", Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, aj@suse.de, http://www.suse.de/~aj/ SUSE Linux Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126

I've added Factory (mirrors.kernel.org) to yast installation sources seemed to work fine - installed a couple of packages from it with YaST sw. Though I was having problems installing with rug but I'll look into that a bit further before deeming it a bug. Perhaps this is not the place to make wishes/feature requests - but I was wondering if it were possible to have a popup message box - perhaps even with a progress bar - when downloading repodata.. In my experience noobs dont understand that package info for thousands of packages is not downloaded in a split second on a 128 kbit connection ;) A lot of times people simply think that YaST has frozen - when it is actually downloading or refreshing repodata. cb400f

I also tried mirrors.kernel.org, that is giving the same "Media Exception" error when I click on Finish (after about 7-8 minutes of processing). Dave -- "I got to go figure," the tenant said.

Makes sense, please file an enhancement for YaST - not sure whether it will be done in time for 10.1 but for 10.2 this should go in.

Logged as bug 159320 with y2logs attached. I'll try using kernel.org like Martin see if that works in the meantime... Dave -- "I got to go figure," the tenant said. "We all got to figure.
