Not running proxy. Looked at YaST proxy module as well to confirm this wasn't enabled.

So it must be a DNS issue then.

Indeed, though not the obvious one. Disabling IPv6 in the Network Settings > Global Options page seems to have done the trick. YaST/Zypper, Konqueror and Firefox all appear to be functioning normally now.

I will see if this is in Bugzilla yet, and proceed accordingly.

Thanks for your help!

Sorry I have tended to turn that off in 11.1-RC1 but never made a connection between that, and the update stuff working. May be that explains flakiness that I've seen, and didn't Ubuntu have to re-release their LTS version a while back because of an IPv6 screw up in IPv4 networks, wonder if it's similar cause. If IPv6 / IPv4 resolver is the cause, using DNS for the proxy out to work (or not) depending. That would explain why I could alter proxy post reboot, but have to use numbers despite DNS set up, prior to that. I'm running the pdns recursor on my Internal LAN, I noticed that's not offered (at least yet) in 11.1, so perhaps it has a problem responding in that situation. Mentioning it in case that's a common factor. Nice catch! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
