Is there a contact person for Nvidia to inform about the opensuse nvidia repos being currently broken or is this a question of faith?
Currently the content of the repo is broken and this "could" be due to the 42.2 update being reorganized badly. Therefore the question. Thank you.
perhaps you might explain "broken" and version ???
Hi Patrick and thank you for the reply. First of all apologies. The machine is a 42.1 and I prepared to update to 42.2. To be able to do so it should be up to date. So it was the repo of Nvidia for 42.1 that had problems. I did express myself so badly that nobody could ever have understood. Happens. As the machine was not booted for some weeks, it comes out that for some reasons the nvidia repos changed something (so you get unreadable file in repodata (and an alphanumeric code). After deactivating the nvidia repo (that had also a wrong signature -apparently due to a date validity and renewal) I received to my surprise a single software stack update from opensuse-updates. I think this update (as I missed it since the machine was offline so long) did renew the correct signature or did fix some issue with the nvidia repodata. I did then erase the nvidia repo and paste the url one more time. This time the repo was accepted and duly refreshed. I was also possible to give trust to the signature without being rejected. Once done this, the update did run through. I should have been accurate and describe the error message and the version. My fault. I will try to update when extra and education repos are online (and packman of course). This because it will be much less work. Is there any date when education will be online? Or this time all repos are there right away? I did not find education nor extra for 42.2 looking within the directories. --- Die Bundesliga hat begonnen!

I would guess that the *only* correct answer in this instance is that they will be ready when they are ready. I know that sounds like a smart-ass answer but only when the *volunteer* packagers find time and not problems and the builds are successful, will they be ready. ps, your email client/editor fails to wrap lines and really makes for poor reading. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
