I just installed SLED 11 SP3 and the “Update System” utility reports that there are “no updates”. Is that right? Is OpenSSL fixed in SP3? The SP3 ISO is 100% up to date?
Also I have yet to be asked for the code for the 60 day trial. Where do you enter that?
Hi
You need to use YaST → Othher → Customer Center then enter your
activation code and email, then it will add the online repositories so
you can update the system either via YaST online updates or from the
command line using the zypper command.

Great. Thanks again. Registration completed successfully. Now proceeding to “Online Update” in the “Software” category of YaST. That’s the correct place to do updates from? It found many updates and I guess I’ll install all of them.
Ok I found how to select all updates. The wording of the right-click pop-up menu was slightly misleading.
There was over a 100 updates. I don’t know how much out of date the SP3 ISO is, but I did do a little internet browsing with firefox before starting updates. I only visited trusted sites like google, cnn, yahoo and suse. The only site that I logged into was this suse website. If there were no really severe security bugs prior to first update then I guess there is no need to do reinstall of suse? I only visited those well known trusted sites and it was behind the NAT of the broadband router the whole time.
Hi
You should be able to select the first one, then scroll to the end,
hold the shift key and select the last one, it should in theory select
them all. If you use the command line zypper (as root user)
zypper ref
zypper lu
zypper up

Thanks, I managed to select-all with right-click (see “lowest” reply in this tree which I wrote a little earlier). So I guess there were no security updates that were so serious that a some brief browsing of trusted sites like this one prior to update was ok to do from behind NAT?
Cheers, thanks for assistance, updates going smoothly.

Malcolm,
I am facing the same problem as tks1111 and did exactly what you advised.
.
I went through the whole online NCC registration many times and checked online in my account. The system is registered successfully.
However, the only repositories which were added to Yast Software Update were ATI and nVidia. It always kept the source for Suse SLED SP3 Updates to CD-ROM, since I have upgraded to SP3 via DVD image.
I removed the whole SP3 Update repository and started online NCC configuration again because Yast always told me that no update repositories were configured. By deleting the CD repositories entry I hoped that Online registration would add online repositories for SLED SP3 updates.
Unfortunately it did not.
What can I do? I could not find instructions how to manually add the repository URL to Yast. On top, I do not know the URL and the sections which need to be added.
I tried something else: Deleted all repository entries (ATI and nVIDIA) and went through the online NCC registration again.
It re-added the ATI and nVIDIA reps but still no SUSE reps.
My subscription and activation are valid until 2017.

Hi
If you login to the NCC page, under the system → mirror credentials to you see a list of SLED repositories?
For SLED11 SP3 you want some of the ones that are named SLED11-SP3-* and
depending on your requirements perhaps also SLE11-SP3-*.
Note you’ll want to access either the i586 repo or the x86_64 but not
both. Which one will depend on whether your install of SLED11 SP3 is
32-bit (i586) or 64-bit (x86_64). The output from the “arch” command
will tell you.
HTH.

you have to help me out here again!
I cannot create the repositories since it is not accepting my login.
What kind of login do I need? I am using the one which gets me into the NCC page but this on is refused.
Which login can I possibly use?

smflood,
forget my last post.
Reading properly sometimes helps a lot.
I managed to update the repos.
Hello Nadine,
I know that this is a closed threat but I have exactly the same problem that you had. How did you solve this problem? You just added the repos manually? I am using an evaluation version and I registered the system successfully with 60 days support and I have all the repositories such as (just part of the list):
But I can’t add these, It doesn’t even allow me to input my credentials, is this not available as I am using the evaluation version. Please, any advice will be appreciated. Thanks.

First of all note that SLED11 SP4 is still in closed beta so ignore any
of the above SLED11 SP4-related repos.
Where are you seeing the above list of repos? In Novell Customer Center
(NCC), SUSE Customer Center (SCC), or via “zypper lr -u” on your SLED
desktop?

I’m using SLED 11 SP3 and the list of repositories is seen from SUSE Customer Center with the following details: start date:2/11/15 and expiry date:4/12/2015 and Registration Code: xxxxxxxx. Number of registered systems : 1/0 of 1. Zypper command gives me the following two aliases: ATI-Driver-SLE11-SP3 and nVidia-Driver-SLE11-SP3. I can’t do anything even install a package from a source code.
Here is the message that I have after registering my product:
Your subscriptions have been imported from the Novell Customer Center and are now available in the SUSE Customer Center
Please follow this link in order to check your imported subscriptions: http://scc.suse.com/subscriptions
Your SUSE Customer Center Team
Please, let me know what I have to do because I am spending a lot of time to figure out what’s wrong. I just did a fresh install and here is the kernel version: 3.0.76-0.11-default and the current kernel for SP3 is: 3.0.101-0.46, so what am I missing?
