How do I add this? http: //download.opensuse.org/repositories/Printing/openSUSE_13.2/ Thanks

Either you get a message that the repo was added, or you get a detailed error message, that you can past into your mail as it is.

In such cases, replacing "http://download.opensuse.org/" with a known mirror server solves the trouble. (here "http://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/") Gwdg.de is a very good mirror, but like any mirror, it has its own hiccups occasionally. A "permanent" switch to it subjects you to its foibles without opportunity to use another as Mirrorbrain should provide during a time when gwdg.de is having hiccups.

...

Yes, Thanks for that. I ran into this with Ubuntu last year. They call it alternative downloads. I searched opensuse alternative downloads and mirrors appeared second, beneath the Ubuntu. There's only 1 Spanish mirror. Would this also explain why online update failed? A Spanish mirror won't necessarily be faster within Spain than other European mirrors. It might even be routinely slower.

...

Is there a way to choose that ftp5 site permanently, or a quick way of switching? Yes. Each *.repo file in /etc/zypp/repos.d/ is a component of your total repository configuration. Files there with such extensions as .repobak or .repogwdg are ignored. You can create a whole fleet of files there or elsewhere that can be copied to or from valid .repo files according to what repos you want to be active, and as quickly as renaming or copying any small text file. Save Printing.repo to some other name, then edit it to change from download.opensuse.org/ to ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/ if you really want to limit yourself to one single mirror that may or may not be up to date or overloaded when you need to use it. I have this:

Please, do yourself a favor and do NOT delete a *.repo file, but rename it. Yep. I remember now. I can then go back to it. Slapped wrists. Bad file management.

e.g. "mv Printing.repo Printing.repobak" Does this prevent it updating? I mean yast online update. If possible. But, a even more easy and transparent way to stop updateing and installing from a repo is to disable it.

I'm guessing the difficulty with non yast repositories is that they are to be discouraged for newcomers? e.g. the chromium repository can be added with just a few clicks. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

It depends what you mean by "locks". In one sense making the .repo file impermiable (aka undeletabnlle) is one kind of lock :-) BSD has the 'no-unlink' file property and also 'immutable' as both a file and a directory setting. As far as I know Linux only has 'immutable' for files, RTFM CHATTR <quote> A file with the 'i' attribute cannot be modified: it cannot be deleted or renamed, no link can be created to this file and no data can be written to the file </quote> which seems to roll both into the one function. On the other hand, if by 'lock' you mean 'no furhter action, no changes resulting from this repository', once again RTFM for zypper under "Repository Management" <quote> modifyrepo (mr) <options> <alias|name|#|URI> ... modifyrepo (mr) <options> <--all|--remote|--local|--medium-type> Modify properties of repositories specified by alias, name, number, or URI or one of the aggregate options. </quote> That's "zypper mr ..." not "zypper -mr ..." <quote> -d, --disable Disable the repository. </quote> In this sense, disable means 'lock out of use'.

Your posts contains so much extra text that it becomes very difficult to track issues.

I do not have a 13.2 to test the procedure myself. The posts I could see from you did not contain the needed info, or it was so muddled I could not notice it.

My fault. I'm new to all this. There is so much private communication _telling_ me what to do and how to react. It's far too personal. I know my questions are poorly worded. I'll try a few weeks more. Then give up. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Click on the URL(s) you've been given using a browser to determine that the .repo file, for example, is accessible.

Make sure this is not a network problem or a typo problem. You can see it's not a typo. I posted the output from root. Please read

I realise that my saying, Yamaban saying "it works for me" is of no help to you, but we're "elsewhere" with different network connectivity. We can access that server, that file.

So then, do not say it.

Right now I'm thinking that if you don't have (possibly intermittent) network problems then there is a typo somewhere.

Rather than cut-and-paste the whole thing, build up

You can see it's not a typo. I posted the output from root. Please read the thread.

start with

$ firefox <url>

if the url comes up, Ok. If not then you have a typo. This determines you have a correctly typed URL and that the target is accessible.

Then edit that command line to replace "firefox" with "sudo zypper addrepo -n Printing ...." And all the rest.

The man page on the shell explains command line editing, but its not complicated. At a blank command prompt the up arrow key recalls the previous command. Then the left/right arrow keys to move and backspace to delete on the line, and type in what else you need. You can do wondrous things with the CLI that are impossible with a GUI!

One way is to open that URL in a web browser, then click on
