Bug 395130

When did you eject the DVD? before invoking zypper?

I remember a similar bug, when zypper asked for another CD, you inserted it and hit enter to continue, and zypper immediately complained. That seemed to be a problem of mount.

before invoking zypper, yes.  I thought it's possibly because it's registered as autorefresh=no, but that's not the problem. With autorefresh=yes it will fail with a/i/c already during refreshing repos.

this is pretty ugly as people will have to enable and disable the DVD repo all the time on their own, but it might not be _that_ critical.

395327 shows that it's a generic problem.

Isn't it completely unrelated? bug 395327 suggested that zypper should not even try to refresh if there's no network.

it should disable every repo that can't be refreshed. And it should check for cd/dvd if the repo is there at all. If you want to track these two issues in one bug, reopen 395327

Actually, in my case, I'd still like to do "zypper search"... But maybe I should open another bug for this?

What do you mean? If the search fails because of a failed autorefresh, then it is the same issue as here.

BTW, try to disable the autorefresh for a specific run with --no-refresh global option, should help in your case.

coolo was suggesting that the repo should be disabled. I might be mistaken, but I'd guess that a disabled repo will not be used for searches. If I'm mistaken, then just ignore me :-)

Yes, I know about --no-refresh. But when I do "zypper search", I do not think "am I offline? If yes, I should use --no-refresh". I just do "zypper search". Each time I do that offline, I hope zypper could see I'm offline and automatically use --no-refresh.

It still does, but not in the commit phase, only while refreshing.

This is a feature request and a non-trivial thing to do. Put it into FATE please.

------------------

I can reproduce this with plain 'mount':

$ '/bin/mount' '-t' 'iso9660' '-o' 'ro' '/dev/sr0' /mnt/tmp/
mount: No medium found

The medium is there of course, and repeating the command succeeds immediately (as well as hitting 'r' in zypper's prompt). However, mount used to (and should) wait for the medium to be read by the drive.

Matthias?

Yes, you're absolutely right. Your suggestion to ignore the refresh error and NOT disable the repository (as long as there is a previous solv cache available) make sense for query commands (at least some, which don't necessarily need the latest metadata). Please, open an enhancement request for this.
