[opensuse] nVidia repos unavailable?
Hi everyone, what happened to the nVidia repositories? On <http://en.opensuse.org/Additional_package_repositories#NVIDIA_drivers> I read "The nVidia repositories are only browseable via ftp." and the location for the 12.1 version of opensuse should be <ftp://download.nvidia.com/opensuse/12.1/>. This was right yesterday, but today the opensuse tree of the server seems not to exist any more - the alphabetical listing stops at the directory ndemand_emea, followed by 3 files. And the One-Click-Install on <http://opensuse-community.org/nvidia.ymp> suggests the same location. Was there a filesystem crash at nVidia's or did the repos move away (and where)?

Seems the opensuse directory on the nvidia ftp site as gone away. Presumably a mount has failed. No idea where one can report these things to nvidia. It is just to wait, I guess. -- Roger Oberholtzer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Not sure if still valid. I remember the url on openSUSE 12.1 was http://download.nvidia.com/opensuse/12.1/ because some unability to pull from the FTP server. Maybe it was fixed it or not. Just try the url above by editing it.

Richard, thanks for the advice. I forgot to mention that I use the http-URL for several months now. But, as quoted, "The nVidia repositories are only browseable via ftp.", and therefore I used ftp to browse. ---snip--- File '/repodata/repomd.xml' not found on medium 'http://download.nvidia.com/opensuse/12.1' Abort, retry, ignore? [a/r/i/?] (a): Problem retrieving files from 'nVidia'. File '/repodata/repomd.xml' not found on medium 'http://download.nvidia.com/opensuse/12.1' Please see the above error message for a hint. Warning: Disabling repository 'nVidia' because of the above error. ---pins--- This error caused my curiosity what might have happened at nVidia's site...

<del>Richard,</del> SORRY! Ricardo,
I'm so embarrassed :-( not even able to spell your name correctly...
Excuse me please, Werner
Werner, It's OK. You don't have to worry about that. My Mom always calls me Richard despite she had chosen to name me Ricardo, isn't it funny? Anyway, the nVIDIA repo seems to be up again. Maybe someone forgot to switch it on before. :-D Regards, -- Ricardo Chung | Panama Linux Ambassador openSUSE Projects -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
