I tried to install 42.3 on a new disk and could my distribution medium says it cannot open http://dow3nloaqde.opensuse.org/leap/42.3/repo.oss. It therefore could not get any updates. I have tried for two days. Is there an explanation for this?

maybe you need to provide the correct url: http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/leap/42.3/

I cannot get the file that failed during install to load. Running Yum I get: Timeout exceeded when accessing 'http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/leap/42.3/repo/oss/suse/setup/desc...
I have tried many times. Is this BS or did I screw up somewhere?

Hi Don,
Is the line with type= in your .repo file containing yast2 as value? If not try that.

42.3 is certainly not EOL yet, but the URL you wrote above is certainly wrong.

The URL was recalled from memory, and sloppy typing late at night. The followup email I sent, which did not appear to be posted, said:

Yum and zipper all try to read this file before proceeding, and therefore I am hung. I sent the followup email to correct the obvious mistakes pointed out by Patrick. I looked at my copy of the followup email and the address is opensuse@opensuse.org. I don't know why it was not posted. I tried to correct the previous mistake.

Why use yum? Are your repos of the type 'rpm-md' ? Output of zypper lr -d ?

Output of zypper lr -d is attached. I hope this helps. Why can't I download the appdata-icons file, all other were downloadable.

Change the type for all repos to rpm-md run zypper clean && zypper ref and try again.

Same sort of problem. 1) All repositories have been cleaned up. 2) Then Retrieving repository 'Main Repository (OSS)' metadata never completes. The Retrieving line just repeats, so I gave ^c.

Removing yast2 as an appropriate type happened months after 42.3 release IIRC. I can't remember type rpm-md for any OSS or Non-OSS repo working when I tried it before TW or 15.0betas.
This seems to be a mirrorbrain problem of not working suitably for your western North America location. Try renaming the current two files for OSS and Non-OSS as backups, and use the two I am attaching (thanks to Patrick for the howto) as the .repo names they contain. At least one of th URLS each contains should solve the hanging. Both the provo http://provo-mirror.opensuse.org/distribution/leap/42.3/repo/oss/suse/x86_64... and gtlib http://www.gtlib.gatech.edu/pub/opensuse/distribution/leap/42.3/repo/oss/sus... mirrors I would expect to work. They both open for me in web browsers, so ought to work normally with zypper.
Same sort of problem.
- All repositories have been cleaned up.
- Then Retrieving repository 'Main Repository (OSS)' metadata never
completes. The Retrieving line just repeats, so I gave ^c.
Leave OSS and Non-OSS set to yast2.

I copied my running system to the new disk and all the problems went away. I will not execute an upgrade from the DVD again, which caused all of the problems. Thanks for all the suggestions.

so problems abound. why yum on a system which defaults to zypper/rpm and/or yast?
to troubleshoot problems, remove variables and use basics, ie: yum????

Sorry, I did mean yast. I have been reading some Redhat documentation and am a bit tired and frustrated. I am also a lousy typist, as you have noted numerous times.
