I have just tried to run Yast2 on two different PCs and on both I am getting a failure. It says to check my connection but it is fine. E-mail and Web access are fine on both so the problem appears isolated to Suse. Anyone else seeing this? -- Thanks! & 73, doc kd4e West Central Florida 100% Linux.

I've noticed that www.suse.com is down too.

Yeah, suse.de has been down most of the day from here. Scott -- POPFile, the OpenSource EMail Classifier http://popfile.sourceforge.net/ Linux 2.6.5-7.95-default x86_64

Whew! Thought I had some sort of bizarre local problem here with Verizon blocking Suse or some other problem common to my two PCs. Perhaps Bill Gates mounted a massive denial of service attack on Novell-Suse? Giggle. Guess we are out of business until Monday when folks return to the Suse office and fix whatever is broken. -- Thanks! & 73, doc kd4e West Central Florida 100% Linux.

Hello all-- What you need to do is go to the shell screen and type "ping suse.com" and if you don't get an answer, you then ping something you are pretty sure is there, like your own internet provider, and if you then get an answer, you know that suse.com is down, for some reason, or overloaded. Ping is the way to tell if the net is up or down for some particular entity. You can even ping microsoft. I just tried to ping a whole batch of well-known enterprises, and got no answer, altho the server put up the dot-quad addresses. A few replied, but most didn't. There may be something wrong on the net tonite. To end the test, just hit control-C. --doug On Saturday 31 July 2004 22:16, Scott Leighton wrote:

Hi, I don't think so. ICMP is blocked by many corporate firewalls. Telnet is definetely more reliable for this type of check (checking websites). telnet hostname 80 and if you get an answer you know it's working. Jorge
Saturday night is a good time for maintenance. I tried to
run Yast Online Update and received an error that stated
only user define Update sources would be available.
I want to ask the list if any of you have known update
mirror sites. The update sites are retrieved form a
suse.de site, maybe just that site is not working while the
update mirrors may be working.
If the list can generate some addresses you would be able
to do updates by manually entering the correct address into
YaST's Online Update dialogs.

Well, keep reading this list and use the archives. Somebody has a question, gets an answer (hopefully) and then everybody else has this knowledge as well. In theory that is, of course. Michael BTW: please change your quoting style, http://www.netmeister.org/news/learn2quote.html has a nice writeup on how it's done.
Recently, I've been getting errors trying to do online update. However, I stumbled on this little trick. Try online_update -k -r from the commandline. This does some kind of reset or reload of the servers. Then you can do your online update as usual and everything is fine (until the next error). ;-) Hope that helps.

Well, you used to be able to ping microsoft. Now it seems you cannot telnet them either. How do you get out of telnet? The escape sequence that shows up does not seem to work. ---doug On Saturday 31 July 2004 23:12, Jorge Fábregas wrote:
