[SOLVED] Parse error: repoindex.xml[1]

[Vikeyev]

Hello again guys,

Every time I open up package search, software repositories or software management (in the YAST Control Center) I get the following error message: There was an error in the repository initialization. Parse error: repoindex.xml[1] Document is empty.

It only started happening this morning and I can't remember what I was doing when it first happened (or more aptly what it was I did prior to this). I have searched on google for this error message and the only things I found had to do with some nexon thing and JAVA.

I searched these forums and couldn't find anything related to this either, I even used the nuatilus search tool to search for repoindex,xml and found an unusual file that just brings up a web browser with some error on the page. So I was wondering if anyone had any idea as to what could possibly be causing this?

Any help you can give is much appreciated, thank you for your time.

What repos ae you using . Sounds like one is non existent or temporarily down.

zypper ls -d

Have I got a bloody virus or something because I keep randomly getting redirected to random search engines. It doesn't matter what page I try to view it just keeps happening randomly.

Remove the first one.

Also add the update repo which you are missing

Yast-Manage Repositories then select community and the update repo

Could not say what is redirecting your browser but I doubt it is a Virus. Unless you are using Windows?

No I'm not using windows, but thank you for helping, removing the first one solved my problem.
