[opensuse] cannot update 12.1
I have just successfully upgraded from 11.4 to 12.1 I cannot update my system any more, because repositories are claimed to be unreachable:. Here is the report: Download (curl) error for 'http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/12.1/repo/oss/content': Error code: Connection failed Error message: Failed to connect to ::1: Network is unreachable Yet network is up an i can update suse 12.1 from other computers of the same local network. It seems that destination download.opensuse.org has not been translated into its IP address. Any ideas? thank you Pol -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Curl is trying to connect to an IPv6 address (that is what the ::1 is). Are you on a network that uses (or tunnels) IPv6? If not, you probably need to disable IPv6 so that it uses IPv4 by default, rather than trying IPv6, timing out and then (supposedly, although maybe not in this case) trying IPv4 as a fallback. Alternatively, it may be that curl is configured to use a proxy server (its configuration is separate from your desktop proxy server settings - I believe it is in /root/.curlrc from memory) and thus the error is actually from attempting to connect to the (unreachable) proxy server rather than opensuse.org. I don't know your network configuration so I might be on completely the wrong path (which is why it woud have been good to have more detail in your question) but I've been caught exactly this way before. -- =================================================== Rodney Baker VK5ZTV rodney.baker@iinet.net.au =================================================== -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

How to disable ipv6? (I have enver enabled such feature)

I do not think curl use a proxy;any way i have never configured curl and is has been working for years. thank you Pol -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Yast2 -> Network Settings -> Global Options -> uncheck "Enable IPv6", apply the change and reboot (yes, the reboot is necessary for this to take effect.

OK. Try the above first. If it still doesn't work, we need more information.

IPv6 was already unchecked. 'Network settings' warns that network is managed by knetworkmanager. I cannot find any options about ipv6 in knetworkmanager. any ideas? Pol -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Nope, sorry, I'm out of ideas on that one. Will Stephenson is the best person to answer re knetworkmanager. Will? Can you post your /root/.curlrc file? Try comparing this file on the machine that doesn't work with one that does. It might not be the problem but check anyway. Also, are you confident with wireshark? Have you tried it to see what is actually happening on the network interface? -- =================================================== Rodney Baker VK5ZTV rodney.baker@iinet.net.au =================================================== -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

The same for /root/.curlrc My access to root is through: 'sudo su' command Pol xPol wrote:

I didn't ask about /etc/curlrc, I asked about /root/.curlrc (since when running zyper for updates, curl is run as root (therefore it reads its configuration file from /root/ which is different to / - the "root" directory). Also, note that there is a period . in front of curlrc (so it is .curlrc in /root/). -- =================================================== Rodney Baker VK5ZTV rodney.baker@iinet.net.au =================================================== -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

It may be something as simple as changing your Network Settings. Have had a similar problem for months until I changed the Server connect timeout to 60 seconds. Now I can get all repos. A friend in another state had the same problem, different repo and found this solution. Always worth a try.
