I'm trying to run Yast Online Update, and every time I do, it tells me it can't download the list of servers. I take the url it lists in the error, and put it in a browser and it gets the list fine. I can get anywhere on the internet from a browser, but it's like yast doesn't know how to get out on the internet. It tells me to check my network connection. I have even FTPd to one of the servers from the console prompt just to test. If I enter a server in to the list manually, it tells me it can't cd in to i386. Once again, I go to a browser and get there fine. Can anyone help before I beat this server to death with a hammer?

Do you happen to be behind a firewall. You may need to set up a proxy server in YaST. YaST/System/Sysconfig editor/Network/Proxy. Then set the appropriate values. If you already know one of the servers, you can turn this off in the Sysconfig Editor under System/Online Update. -- Jerry Feldman <gaf@blu.org> Boston Linux and Unix user group http://www.blu.org PGP key id:C5061EA9 PGP Key fingerprint:053C 73EC 3AC1 5C44 3E14 9245 FB00 3ED5 C506 1EA9

I'm having the same problem here for the last 24 hours. I don't think the problem is with your system. Jerome
Where does YOU go to get the list of servers? Mine just worked. Is there different places YOU will go to get said list depending on version? Or do they all go to same place? The latter seems most likely. B-) On Thursday 17 February 2005 02:34 pm, Susemail wrote:

Count yourself lucky! At least you don't get YOU showing you the list of servers, downloading the list of patches, letting you select the patches you'd like to download, then downloading the patches one by one, ONLY TO BE TOLD THAT YOU CAN'T INSTALL THEM BECAUSE THE SIGNATURE IN THE F*C$1n& RPM PATCH FILE IS INVALID What the smeg is going on with SuSE/YOU/patches etc.....???? I am one frazzled neuron away from jumping up and down on this stupid PC until it's a smoldering heap of scrap. Help - I need valium. Jon. Joe Zitnik wrote:

But they are not deleted, are they? So next try you save download time, I hope.

That problem was discussed long time ago, here. I think it is documented somewhere, U.S.FAQ - or SDB. But I see you got it solved, anyway. Somehow, the installation of the keys got messed up, and reinstall of the involved rpm fails.

I think a punching ball is a much cheaper exercise target :-p But if you want serious smashing, there is a business here that lets you smash a car with a hammer for a cute fee - Mmmm... maybe there is a niche there for PC smashing...

I has some problem like that once. It appeard the rpm database got corrupted somehow, probably my fault. I done an rpm database rebuild. rpm --rebuilddb Art On Sun, 2005-02-20 at 20:03 +0000, Jonathan Brooks wrote:
