[SLE] yast 2 adding url's
Hi I'm still getting big problems with yast2 setting installation sources, using url entry from the add pulldown. Each source I've tried I've checked the url and cut and pasted from the browser, so the url's are valid, leaving out the final directory and trail slash. example http://dg7gt.osth.de/suse-10.1-ham/suse ftp://ftp.heanet.ie/mirrors/ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/ftp.suse.com/suse/i386/current/suse OK the 2nd one is a bit long but . I've worked my way through the list on this site http://www.novell.com/products/suselinux/downloads/ftp/int_mirrors.html and nothing is acceptable However, I was given this url which was accepted, but every time get an invalid signature warning, which if you tick the don't show again box, still gets shown every time. http://packman.iu-bremen.de/suse/10.1 Also on the online update I ticked all the packages and left it running over night, checked it this morning says all packages installed, but it lied. I've trying to get GPREDICT to build its makefile, this package has been compiled many times on different machines, none running suse,without problems. But now its winging over glib2 and gtk being missing. rpm -q shows them installed. I've rebuilt the rpm database I'm using yast2-2.13.54-5, is the version fscked ? OS=10.1,i586 fresh install from dvd I've just come from using Mandrake since it started, and their urpmi is lovely package for package management, it's pity some of their other packages don't work. That's the reason for the move to Suse, as well as joining a sdr group whos s/w is written on Suse.

That warning is Very Misleadinging. It still shows up each time you run Software Management. What it really means is: if you have multiple URLs which have this error, it doesn't show you the error for subsequent sites. i was really frustrated by this behaviour until i added a second site and realized what it *really* means with "do not show again". IMO the checkbox should shut off the error permanently (which is what the dialog suggests that it does). -- ----- stephan@s11n.net http://s11n.net "...pleasure is a grace and is not obedient to the commands of the will." -- Alan W.

Solution :- omit lowest level directory, use http://dg7gt.osth.de/suse-10.1-ham

Well at least I'm not the only one to find it misleading Thanks Richard -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com
