For days I have been trying to find certain software packages via the website https://software.opensuse.org/, but I keep getting the following error message: failed to allocate memory. did you try directly on build.opensuse.org? I didn't know this website. Thanks for the tip. It helps me.

Also the status page of OpenSuse is anything but good. Many services have not been updated since 2017. What 'services' are you talking about? I just received a mail announcing the latest Tumbleweed snapshot...so the 'servicesÄ are running well IMHO.

Why doesn't anyone care about the website? I installed Leap 15 and need some packages and wanted to see where I could find them. I can't get my computer running for days! You cant boot your computer and 'get it running' because software.opensuse.org has a problem? I dont believe that....

I'm really upset and I'm thinking about switching to another Distro. Better approach would be to ask how you can help.

BTW, I just tried s.o.o , and it worked fine for me!

Cheers Axel Thanks for the quick answer. It helped me a lot because I can install

Leap works. I need some packages which are not in the standard repos, unfortunately I don't know in which I find them. That's why I used the OpenSuse software page for searching. You helped me with the tip on the build website. By the way, here is the proof, I have had this error message for three days now. Also sometimes the error message 503 appears, that the page is being maintained. https://ibb.co/fAKGxe the missing packages and complete the installation. Sam

This has been reported already, it seems: https://github.com/openSUSE/software-o-o/issues/364 Sam wrote:

I don't know, I would assume the page is updated manually when there are issues. Perhaps some services did not have issues since 2017? Might even be a good thing. Not that I know anything.

I'm seeing reports of this in the Facebook page's direct messages as well, as well as in the forums and the facebook group.

I was having issues earlier today as well - Right now, I'm getting the "failed to allocate memory issue" - looks like something's leaking memory on that system.

I've also seen very intermittent issues with zypper running updates as well - connection timeouts, generally. Sometimes it fails and when I retry, it works - other times, not.

Something's up with those systems.

has anyone reported the issues to admin@o.o which is the correct place to report infrastructure issues? -- Simon Lees (Simotek) http://simotek.net Emergency Update Team keybase.io/simotek SUSE Linux Adelaide Australia, UTC+10:30 GPG Fingerprint: 5B87 DB9D 88DC F606 E489 CEC5 0922 C246 02F0 014B

I think it means that the status has not changed since then. Ie, that those system did not have a problem in all that time. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.3 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)

Since today the software page works again. :-)

When I see that problem I keep trying, and sometimes I get in.

Okay, so it makes more sense. Maybe it would be better if it were written there: Running since... It's just a small suggestion.

Sure, but has to be made to the people that maintain that. Many things are run by volunteers from the community. Somethings to be done need a new volunteer. I don't know if this is the case.

Thanks for your answer.

The zypper issues are probably unrelated since zypper uses download.o.o (not software.o.o).

Please check your zypper logs if the failures are related to download.o.o or a specific mirror, and then report it to admin@o.o.

Thanks, Christian - I'll keep an eye on it, and if I see it again, I'll check those logs. Didn't even think about that at the time (downside of doing multiple things at the same time).
