Hi Andrei, [...]
uhm, in this case, Nvidia seems to have shut down their repo site at all. People wrote, one can't access them with a browser, but with yast or zypper, but here zypper/yast also run into a timeout when trying to refresh the repo. And this is the case for 42.2, not only for 42.3.
I just added nVidia repo for testing and it worked just fine on 42.2. So I have no idea what all this fuss is about. nVidia repo was never provided until final release, and it was true for all past versions, so I do not understand why people suddenly expect it for 42.3 either.
no, I don't *expected* it for 42.3 - it would have been great for testing 42.3, though. But it didn't work for 42.2 - neither with zypper nor with yast. It always ran into a timeout or into an error, when I tried to refresh the repo or remove and add the repo. But this was obviously my fault: ------------------------< snip snip snip >----------------------------- zypper ar -n 'nvidia' -c -f ftp://download.nvidia.com/opensuse/leap/42.2 nvidia Adding repository 'nvidia' [.. Timeout exceeded when accessing 'ftp://download.nvidia.com/opensuse/leap/42.2/repodata/repomd.xml'. ------------------------< snip snip snip >----------------------------- ------------------------< snip snip snip >----------------------------- zypper ar -n 'nvidia' -c -f http://download.nvidia.com/opensuse/leap/42.2 nvidia Adding repository 'nvidia' .......................................................................................[done] Repository 'nvidia' successfully added ------------------------< snip snip snip >----------------------------- So the repo access via ftp is no longer available, access via http and a browser also does not work, but access via http and using zypper or yast works. Sorry, I didn't realize, that ftp has been gone. Bye. Michael. -- Michael Hirmke -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
