use the Installation Sources dialog to change the update source. That didn't work for me. Sorry. The choices to Add source are: Scan using SLP FTP HTTP HTTPS SMBCIFS NFS CD DVD Local Directory Specify URL There is NO way to add a "YUM" source. these are media typoes. they can all point to a YUM source. David, you are misunderstanding this dialog. You don't have to specify the source type because the source type will be detected automatically. The choices refer to the protocol, not the type. Do exactly the following: YaST -> Software -> Installation Source -> Add -> Specify URL Copy this URL into the field: http://suse.osuosl.org/suse/update/10.1 That's it. Thanks for the update and solution. My problem was that I search the knownledge base at http://wwww.novell.com first. The knowledge base pointed to me to my answer. thanks again. I don't understand why you are reopening this report. What's the bug here?
The initial report is just wrong (you can invoke the online update configuration module any time manually via "YaST -> Software -> Online Update Configuration" or "/sbin/yast2 inst_suse_register") and there is an alternative way of adding an update source ("YaST -> Software -> Installation source" or "/sbin/yast2 inst_source").
If you look at the wiki item, there is a bug in the update of Suse 10.1. It has to be fixed. OK close it. Never ever say "there is a bug, it has to be fixed, look at the wiki". This is noise and forbidden. The entry at susewiki.org contains zero (0) information. Please look at the good wiki how to report bugs: http://en.opensuse.org/Bugs/YaST In short, always describe the bug within the very report, don't just point to a wiki, and attach logfiles. The resolution is now also incorrect (it's not FIXED, but one of WORKSFORME or INVALID). And stop randomly reopening reports like this one or bug 198531 while just pointing to this susewiki.org. |
