[opensuse] Oh where oh where have the updates gone?
I've spent a good hour and an half looking for where ti get updates for my OpenSUSE 10.2, All that I can find is that "The current patches for openSUSE™ are available from an update software catalog. If you have registered your product during the installation, an update catalog is already configured. If you have not registered openSUSE, you can do so by running Software>Online Update Configuration in YaST." http://www.novell.com/documentation/opensuse102/index.html?page=/documentati... I couldn't register when I installed because I wasn't connected to the Internet. Now, I don't have "Software>Online Update Configuration in YaST." Google found me this: http://www.novell.com/documentation/opensuse102/index.html?page=/documentati... but I don't want to add GPhoto, I want to add an updates repo. So, I went to my usual mirrors, planetmirror.com and some less official but more local, and I don't see any updates accessible by HTTP - there didn't seem to be any merit in researching the same mirrors with ftp. Logically, this document should mention the updates repos and where to find their mirrors: http://en.opensuse.org/Package_Repositories Can someone point me to the missing info, and even better, could someone with update access to the wiki add the missing pointers there? Updating the opensuse docs would be good too:-) Thanks for your patience. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

There should be. Just add http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/suse/update/10.2/ as installation source. http://en.opensuse.org/Mirror would be the right page. However the link appears broken.

Not really. It is the same as I remember it :-) http://en.opensuse.org/Mirror#See%20Also However it should be actually shorter like disambiguation page, that will list miscellaneous articles about mirrors. -- Regards, Rajko. http://en.opensuse.org/Portal -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I've shozen one, and now Yast is amusing itself tying up my modem downloading lots of stuff it thinks I want. Yesterday, I took the laptop to work so I could find this stuff and get a full update. Today, all I want is timezone data, because m Internet connexion's through a modem. For some reason copying /etc/localtime from something else that's right didn't work. Consider it fixed for me, I'm sure that when Yast has finished its little games I'll be able to get the one update that matters. I've chose one in .de - while not ideal for the home of Kangaroos, it's better than nothing. However, if anyone else wants to add stuff to the thread for those who use google, I won't object.
