SuseWatcher unable to check for updates
Hi all. I'm running SuSE 9.2 pro and have a problem with SuseWatcher not being able to check for updates. SuseWatcher did used to work on my main machine. It is still working on my laptop, and checks for updates there OK. I have checked the update log for my server, and this is the message I get: ERROR(Media:file not found)[HTTP return code: 404 (URL: http://linux.mathematik.tu-darmstadt.de/pub/linux/distributions/ suse/ftp.suse.com/suse/i386/update/9.2/patches/directory.3)] Any suggestions or ideas please. Keith In theory, theory and practice are the same; In practice they are not.

Run YOU and switch to a different mirror server. The one you currently use doesn't have 9.2 for whatever reason. cu Ludwig -- (o_ Ludwig Nussel //\ SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Development V_/_ http://www.suse.de/
Thanks Ludwig and LDB. I selected the mirror that my laptop was pointing to, (The last mirror in the User-Defined Location) ran YOU and SuseWatcher is working now. Regards Keith On Wed, 1 Mar 2006, Ludwig Nussel wrote:

I would manually go into yast online_update and start an online update from a working source, then SuSEWatcher should choose to work from that source in the future. LDB
