https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=337410 Summary: on-line update fails due to unavailable server and there is no way to change mirror server Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Final Platform: 32bit OS/Version: openSUSE 10.3 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Update Problems AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: geraldweber@terra.com.br QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: Customer Created an attachment (id=180946) --> (https://bugzilla.novell.com/attachment.cgi?id=180946) Last 1000 lines of y2log I was trying to on-line update my 10.3 installation, but this failed because the server's IP ftp.yz.yamagata-u.ac.jp can not be resolved from my location for whatever reason. My current network domain is veloxzone.com.br. I've retried for several hours without success, so it doesn't look like a transient DNS resolution problem. Yast2 Software Repository module only lists the server name as download.opensuse.org so I guess the server ftp.yz.yamagata-u.ac.jp is somehow automatically assigned. So I think what needs to be done is this: 1) check the mirror server availability before assigning it for the task 2) given that the mirror server may be accessible from the main server location but not from the user's location: a way of getting feedback from the user's on-line update module that the mirror server is not accessible from his/her location for whatever reason 3) provide a list of alternative mirror update servers I'm adding the last 1000 lines of y2log, please let me know if you need the whole file (currently at 3.2 Mb).
