hello Folks, I'm having trouble with the SuSE Watcher (SuSE 9.0) who complains it cannot check for updates. YOU Check Log - SuSE Watcher reports (I put returns in the single long line starting with "Error while ..." : online_update -k -s Error while requesting servers: ERROR(You:Error getting youservers file.): HTTP return code: 404 (URL: http://www.suse.de/cgi-bin/ suseservers.cgi?product=SuSE%20 Linux&version=9.0&basearch=i386&arch=i686&lang=de&business=0&check=1& distproduct=SuSE-Linux-FTP-i386-9.0-0&yast2-online-update=2.8.8-71& yast2-packagemanager=2.8.36-1&liby2util=2.8.16-2&timezone=Europe/Brussels) in YAST Online Update I get a "Warning Cannot fetch remote sever list. Only user-defined patch sources will be available. Possible solution: Check network connection." and in a little scrollable window below (again I put returs in a single long line starting "suseservers.cgi ...") : URL: http://www.suse.de/cgi-bin/suseservers.cgi HTTP return code: 404 (URL: http://www.suse.de/cgi-bin/ suseservers.cgi?product=SuSE%20 Linux&version=9.0&basearch=i386&arch=i686&lang=en_US&business=0&check=0& distproduct=SuSE-Linux-FTP-i386-9.0-0&yast2-online-update=2.8.8-71&yast2-packagemanager=2.8.36-1& liby2util=2.8.16-2&timezone=Europe/Brussels) However if I copy/paste "http://www.suse.de ... Europe/Brussels" in a webbrowser I get : http://ftp.uni-kl.de/pub/linux/suse;Germany: University Kaiserslautern (http) http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/suse;Germany: GWD Göttingen (http) ftp://ftp.leo.org/pub/comp/os/unix/linux/suse/suse;Germany: LEO Munich (ftp) ftp://ftp.uni-kl.de/pub/linux/suse;Germany: University Kaiserslautern (ftp) ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/ftp.suse.com/suse;Germany: GWD Göttingen (ftp) ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse;Germany: SUSE LINUX AG ftp://ftp.sunet.se/pub/Linux/distributions/suse/suse;Sweden: SUNET ftp://ftp.rz.uni-ulm.de/pub/mirrors/suse;Germany: University Ulm ftp://gd.tuwien.ac.at/linux/suse.com/suse;Austria: Vienna University of Technology ftp://ftp.suselinux.hu/pub/suse;Hungary: suselinux.hu ftp://fr.rpmfind.net/linux/SuSE-Linux;France: Rpmfind.Net So, my network seems to work. If I then "Ignore" the YAST Online Update message and manually put e.g. ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse in the Location all seems to work correctly. Any ideas on what is happening ? Kind regards, Frederic
