Ive been trying to follow the guide http://www.thejemreport.com/mambo/content/view/254/42/ for adding more of the missing stuff in suse 10.1, dvd playback xgl etc, and ive googled for the answer and also browsed the forum and looked through the archives of the mailing list, but just cant seem to find the right answer to my problems, so i apologise ahead of time if this has been asked and answered before.

I can get the pacman sources to add correctly, but when i try to add the:

download.opensuse.org/distribution/SL-10.1/inst-source/ download.opensuse.org/distribution/SL-10.1/non-oss-inst-source/

sources it fails with "unable to created installation source" ive read that this might be a bug, but i kinda think that its hard to believe since it was working with 10.0.

how can i get those sources added? i cant seem to find an alternate mirror to try added those as well.

any help would be appreciated.

thanks

Nick

A suggestion: in your browser typed in the URLs you are trying to add and see if you actually get to the entry. I had the same problem and by doing the above I found that the URL given in this forum was incorrect. Found the correct details, put them in and the source was then accepted.
