SuSE Yast question

(1/2) > >>

Ice-9:
This will probably be for RudeCAt7 (or any other SuSE user) :)
I updated my system a few weeks ago with Yast2, and now since 1 week 1/2 every time I try to do another online update it hangs for a while on "Getting server list from www.suse.de" and then I get "Initialization failed, try another ftp/http server".
Problem is, it displays that same message with every different ftp address I enter.
Are you able to do an online update or is Yast broken atm?
I'm using 8.0 btw.

Pantso:
Another SuSE user! Great! Well, Ice9 I too have SuSE 8.0 and I've also been having the same problems for the past week when trying to use YOU (YAST Online Update)! I really don't know what's wrong! I've tried changing ftp servers (ftp.leo.org or ftp.suse.com etc) but nothing  :(  !However, I did manage two days ago to connect to the suse.com ftp server but it froze in the middle of downloading the updates   :mad:  . Now, I'm thinking of contacting SuSE since this is really getting on my nerves  :confused:

Ice-9:
Hah, Pantso, I forgot about you when I thought of the SuSE users on the board ;)
Your nick was Hoochjoons a while ago, wasn't it?
If so you already provided me with help when I couldn't see my ouse cursor a few moths back    ;)  
And if not, hiya!    
Edit : I'mprolly wrong here, think I mixed you up with Panos! Sry about that.
Nice to know I'm not alone having this problem, at least I know the last online update I did didn't screw up    :D    
Or if it did, it did for a lot of people and SuSE are probably aware of it and very busy correcting things.

Pantso:
Yep, that's me! I'm glad you remember    You have a very strong memory and you're also very observing! I decided to stop using my old account which I first renamed "Panos" (and which by the way is my real name  ;)  ) just to make a new start in the boards. So I decided to go under the nickname "Pantso". I'm glad you noticed

  ;)

TheQuirk:
I use SuSe too.
