My susewatcher icon is yellow and I have this error:
Error retrieving patches: ERROR(Media:connection failed): Unable to get './i386/update/8.2/patches/directory.3' or to read the directory (socket error: 110).
I have been getting this for several days. If I manually click "check for updates," after a few minutes a dialog box comes up saying simply "unable to retrieve patches." What can I do?
Thank you.
I had this problem, too. I noticed that the mirror at USC has removed its SuSE directories. I think there was some problem at Georgia Tech, too. I just changed the source for updates (through Yast), and I can now do updates through YaST Online Update. But, my YOU icon is yellow and stays that way. Anyway, be sure to browse around and find an FTP site that is working before plugging its IP address into YaST.
