This causes an irritating error when trying to install software: you always get an error report stating that the DVD is not available. Because the DVD is, of course, no longer in the drive.... This is especially confusing for beginners with openSUSE. A bad first - impression. The only way to get rid of this, is by deactivating the DVD - in the repositories list in YaST. It would be much better, if the DVD - would be deactivated *by default*. Still in the list, but not - activated. + impression. + The only way to get rid of this, is by deactivating the DVD in the + repositories list in YaST.

Discussion: #1: Graham Davis (scarlet-jade) (2012-10-09 13:08:09) I'm using openSUSE 12.2 and, by default, the DVD is enabled but not ticked for auto-refresh. This is unchanged from previous releases. I never get any error messages from YAST for the DVD being unavailable. I did try installing 12.3-M0 on a machine via a USB-drive and this drive appeared in the list with auto-refresh enabled. This triggered a warning when the drive was removed but did not recur once I'd disabled auto-refresh. Sorry, but I don't see a problem with CD/DVD installation. + #2: Pjotr K (pjotr123) (2012-10-11 16:16:10) (reply to #1) + The error message is being triggered when you try to run + "Install/Remove software" in the graphical environment or "zypper up" + in the terminal.
