Where did the installer gets repositories, did you just select default ones, or add it manually? Repositories can be easily changed in yast. Please attach y2logs. Created attachment 232533 [details]
y2log
I was just use the default values. In YaST --> Software --> Community Repositories, I just use: * Main Repository (OSS) * Main Repository (Non OSS) * Main Update Repository I have attached y2logs. Hopefully it is help, because I have just added from YaST --> Software --> Community Repositories: * Packman and http://software.opensuse.org/download/Education:/desktop/openSUSE_10.3/ ( the last repo was also failed. I will report in another bug report) Just a suggestion.... It would be nice if yast has fallback. It will automatically redirect to nearest mirror (like it did now), but if it is fail, it should back to main server. Please next time remove NEEDINFO status by selecting "This comment/attachment provides ..." checkbox after supplying needed information. Reassigning to yast2 maintainers. I'm not sure what we can do, but Peter should have a better idea. See also http://en.opensuse.org/Mirror_Selection Additional information... I need some multimedia codecs. So, I went to http://opensuse-community.org/Multimedia and clicked http://opensuse-community.org/codecs-kde.ymp Since I clicked something from opensuse-community.org, for sure I pretending to dowload from it. Unfortunately, the problem came again.... It has been more than a week, and it not yet finished. It always fail, and I have retry again and again. I do tcpdump, and yes, it is because I am actually downloading from repo.ugm.ac.id. That is why it is much much slower than before, when opensuse automagically slect kambing.vlsm.org as nearest repo server. This eventually is a duplicate of bug 369531. The problem you report here is affecting many people and a common scenario. The plan is to enhance libzypp by using a metalink client to download packages for failover and speed optimization. See also http://en.opensuse.org/Libzypp/Failover Regarding those two mirrors (kambing.ui.edu and repo.ugm.ac.id), I have seen some stability issues with kambing, but does it work better / faster for you than ugm? We are sending much less requests to kambing at this time. On the other hand, I added ugm in July only after I discovered by accident, so we don't have as much experience with it. So it would be most important to know your perspective on this, your location, etc. Thanks. But definitely, YaST needs a way to give users influence on this. Like giving mirrors priorities, giving the choice to prefer a local mirror, and figure out the fastest mirror by itself (which the above mentioned proposal allows). I have just reinstal my opensuse, including opensuse education (wow, opensuse education is nice). And, when I do online update, it is going to kambing.ui.edu. Thank you very much. It is running very fast now. Thank you for the feedback. |
