I use openSuSE 10.3 64 bits version. When I try to add online repos from Yast, I receive always an error message. I have tried several online repos without success. My Internet provider is a mobile phone operator and I use a 3G wireless modem. The Internet connection works fine and I have used the web interface in order to search new packages for openSuSE. However, I would like to update my system using online repos, because is too difficult to solve by hand all issues. Could you give some advises? regards -- Bogdan Cristea -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Did you have updated system? If not open Terminal console and run command: sudo zypper sa http://download.opensuse.org/update/10.3 after that, start Yast>Software>Online update and update your system. And it shoud solve your issues

You should read what he wrote. The URL is: http://download.opensuse.org/update/10.3/update

so use: sudo zypper sa http://download.opensuse.org/update/10.3/update update

Ciao

Yes, me too I have the impression that there is a proxy blocking my requests. Thank you for your help. Bogdan On Thursday 17 April 2008 23:08:05 you wrote:

Urls, http://download.opensuse.org/update/10.3 was good already.

I guess the server you got from us is currently not working correctl, or a proxy is acting up.

Ciao, Marcus
