Unable to Download Patches
Anyone aware of a problem across all of the SuSE sites? Every one of them responds with "Unable to download patches". Thanks! doc -- "And God said, let there be light ...

To further clarify, the message in the pop-up window says "Cannot get the patches from the SuSE server. Try another ftp/http server." And as previously noted, I tried all of the other servers. Some fail outright, some start and fail. The message in the Yast2 text area reads "Starting download of patch descriptions from ftp.gwdg.de Connected ... Cannot get pam_ldap-3453 Disconnected" The download does show progression to 48% before the failure. Help? Thanks! doc On Saturday 28 September 2002 10:06, doc wrote:

Hello, Doc. I had this exact same problem yesterday myself, and it couldn't have come at a worse time. The VAR I work for is finally letting me deploy a Linux file/print server into a client site (I'm so excited !), so I set up a machine yesterday with a clean 8.0 install. When I tried to do the online update I got the same errors as you mention below from all the servers. I pulled down the Yast2 updates from ftp.suse.com (wow, was that ever slow) and tried again, with the same result. I decide to hell with it and went off for lunch. When I came back, I started to cycle through the servers again, and on the second try, I finally got a connection to the .hu server. I suspect that, for whatever reason, the mirrors were all very busy, or that the US-Europe net connections were saturated. Have you tried it again today ? Bear in mind that many of the mirror servers are hosting more than just the SuSE ftp site. Bye for now, Stuart. -----Original Message----- From: doc [mailto:kd4e@arrl.net] Sent: Saturday, September 28, 2002 09:50 To: suse-linux-e@suse.com Subject: Re: [SLE] Unable to Download Patches To further clarify, the message in the pop-up window says "Cannot get the patches from the SuSE server.

Maybe the problem is gone now, as I am getting 146K/s from ftp.gwdg.de (I am in Walnut Creek, CA)

"Let there be light", and there was light "Let there be sound", and there was sound "Let there be drums", and there was drums "Let there be guitar", and there was guitar "Let there be rock" :-) -Kastus

Yes, it seems much better today for me too (in Michigan).

Note that there's a bug in yast online update in 8.0. If one online update fails you need to completely restart the online update module. Just going to another server will fail. That could possibly be why they *all* failed at the same time?! //Anders
