If this is the wrong list for this, please let me know.
I tried running an update today. Suddenly I have to 'configure an update repository' which involves registering. I've no problem with that, if the system worked, but it doesn't.
I get as far as it launching a browser from the 'manual interaction required dialog', and I press 'continue', which launches a browser. I click 'continue' on that too. It closes, and I get a brief 'contacting server' progress dialog, then the 'manual interaction' dialog is modal again. From here there are three paths: 1. Continue the above loop ad infinitum. 2. Cancel, in which case I'm not configured, and can't update 3. cut and past the link in the 'manual interaction dialog for a manual registration.
Option 3 doesn't seem to work either. Although the tab in firefox says 'registration completed', the page says I have to complete the registration process by clicking the 'continue' button. So I do, and nothing happens.
I have two questions:
1. where do I go from here?
2. Did no-one learn from the version 10 mess that changing the updating system during the rush to get a new release out is a bad idea?
Thanx
Tony
I had the same exact problem. I just gave up on 'updating' because it was so aggravating. Just another of those major oops's that got through with 11.3. <sigh> -- God and religion - one a figment of an timid psyche and overactive imagination, the other for the simple and weak-minded. Both, nothing but trouble since it 'became' with some moron saying 'jesus'. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
