More on YOU!

Hi, Sorry about the length of this :-( This is based on a letter I sent to SuSE support though I sincerely doubt it will qualify within the 90 days installation support that I thought sounded so good when I bought a copy of the distro. As I said earlier I can't get YOU working. I get this error both at work and at home and the one at work particularly is a very standard install so I figure it has to be something others get and not just me. I have tried to get support in both the SuSE Linux E maillist and on line at a number of bulletin boards with no luck. The error message I get is: Connection to YOU server failed. Try to connect to another SuSE server If (as has been suggested on one forum) I change the expert settings to HTTP I get: Cannot get the patches from the server. Try another SuSE FTP/HTTP server. The following is the content of my /var/lib/YaST/update.inf file that one of the SuSE SDB articles hints it might be (though that was aimed at SuSE 7.3): # /var/lib/YaST/update.inf -- (c) 2001 SuSE GmbH # Basesystem: SuSE-Linux-Professional-INT-i386-8.0.0#0 DefaultInstsrcFTP: ftp.suse.com:/pub/suse/i386/current ftp.gwdg.de:/pub/linux/suse/i386/current ftp-suse.ruf.uni-freiburg.de:/pub/suse/i386/current PTFcrstsnItluafed: DefaultSrcPatchFTP: ftp.suse.com:/pub/suse/i386/update/8.0 Distribution_Name: SuSE-Linux-Professional-INT-i386 Distribution_Release: 0 Distribution_Version: 8.0.0 Nobackup: /var/lib/news/history /etc/ld.so.cache /var/spool/atjobs/.SEQ Pukcabon: Notarx: @PKG@ mmcore usr/X11R6/lib/X11/config/Imake.rules usr/X11R6/lib/X11/config/Motif.rules usr/X11R6/lib/X11/config/Motif.tmpl usr/X11R6/lib/X11/config/Project.tmpl usr/X11R6/lib/X11/config/linux.cf var/X11R6/lib/config/Imake.rules var/X11R6/lib/config/Motif.rules var/X11R6/lib/config/Motif.tmpl var/X11R6/lib/config/Project.tmpl var/X11R6/lib/config/linux.cf ./usr/X11R6/lib/X11/config/Imake.rules ./usr/X11R6/lib/X11/config/Motif.rules ./usr/X11R6/lib/X11/config/Motif.tmpl ./usr/X11R6/lib/X11/config/Project.tmpl ./usr/X11R6/lib/X11/config/linux.cf ./var/X11R6/lib/config/Imake.rules ./var/X11R6/lib/config/Motif.rules ./var/X11R6/lib/config/Motif.tmpl ./var/X11R6/lib/config/Project.tmpl ./var/X11R6/lib/config/linux.cf @PKG@ mmcore1 usr/X11R6/lib/X11/config/Imake.rules usr/X11R6/lib/X11/config/Motif.rules usr/X11R6/lib/X11/config/Motif.tmpl usr/X11R6/lib/X11/config/Project.tmpl usr/X11R6/lib/X11/config/linux.cf var/X11R6/lib/config/Imake.rules var/X11R6/lib/config/Motif.rules var/X11R6/lib/config/Motif.tmpl var/X11R6/lib/config/Project.tmpl var/X11R6/lib/config/linux.cf ./usr/X11R6/lib/X11/config/Imake.rules ./usr/X11R6/lib/X11/config/Motif.rules ./usr/X11R6/lib/X11/config/Motif.tmpl ./usr/X11R6/lib/X11/config/Project.tmpl ./usr/X11R6/lib/X11/config/linux.cf ./var/X11R6/lib/config/Imake.rules ./var/X11R6/lib/config/Motif.rules ./var/X11R6/lib/config/Motif.tmpl ./var/X11R6/lib/config/Project.tmpl ./var/X11R6/lib/config/linux.cf @PKG@ mmcore2 usr/X11R6/lib/X11/config/Imake.rules usr/X11R6/lib/X11/config/Motif.rules usr/X11R6/lib/X11/config/Motif.tmpl usr/X11R6/lib/X11/config/Project.tmpl usr/X11R6/lib/X11/config/linux.cf var/X11R6/lib/config/Imake.rules var/X11R6/lib/config/Motif.rules var/X11R6/lib/config/Motif.tmpl var/X11R6/lib/config/Project.tmpl var/X11R6/lib/config/linux.cf ./usr/X11R6/lib/X11/config/Imake.rules ./usr/X11R6/lib/X11/config/Motif.rules ./usr/X11R6/lib/X11/config/Motif.tmpl ./usr/X11R6/lib/X11/config/Project.tmpl ./usr/X11R6/lib/X11/config/linux.cf ./var/X11R6/lib/config/Imake.rules ./var/X11R6/lib/config/Motif.rules ./var/X11R6/lib/config/Motif.tmpl ./var/X11R6/lib/config/Project.tmpl ./var/X11R6/lib/config/linux.cf Xraton: Product_Name: SuSE-Linux Product_Version: 8.0 Prohibited: usr/X11R6/lib/X11 Detibihorp: I have set proxies in several places i.e. in Konqueror/KDE, in YaST2 (System Sysconfig Editor System Proxy) to http://proxycfg.lon.globalone.net/shell-cgi/proxy.pl can successfully reach the Internet using the proxy.
