Cannot Install for OpenSuse 10.3

Postby fatgoth » 08 Jan 2008 10:44

I am trying to do the auto install for OpenSuse 10.3, when i select the option on the web page it seems to start ok but fails when trying to access the files. In the description is the following:

URL: http://download.opensuse.org/repositori ... /standard/

Curl error for 'http://download.opensuse.org/repositori ... repomd.xml':
Error code: HTTP response: 407
Error message: The requested URL returned error: 407


Many thanks

HTTP Error 407 means Proxy Authentication Required.

Are you by any means in a corporate network sitting behind a proxy? Try checking your settings.

Oh...

additionally: did you remark the the URL you posted was not even the VLC Repo failing, but the standard openSUSE Repository? Almost certain an issue with your proxy then.
