There must be some activation keys somewhere with your organization, if  
not you would need to raise a Support Request from the NCC web page to  
get it resolved.

I’m quite sure that there is an activation key of some kind, the  
problem is, in a company of 108,000 people, it may take me months or  
possibly years to find out what that is. (☹ I have lines of inquiry  
initiated, internally, as well as with Novell.

Ok, I got an eval license and a “code”. I presume that this code will  
allow me to access the kernel-debuginfo pkg. I went to the downloads  
page, not knowing any better method of getting the pkg, and searched for  
kernel-debuginfo and got zero results. I know that there is some way of  
adding repos to my list on the relevant host with zypper, but i haven’t  
been able to find the appropriate URLs. I believe that I need the  
SLE11-SP1-Debuginfo-Pool and SLE11-SP1-Debuginfo-Updates repos if I’m  
going to go that route (which would probably be more convenient).

So, since the pkg search doesn’t find the kernel-debuginfo pkg, I’m not  
convinced that an eval code allows me access to it.

Now that I have the eval code, what is the next step for getting the  
kernel-debuginfo pkg?

This will add all the repositories, you can then enable via YaST →

running the command line version with various standard environment  
variables specifying the corporate proxy, results in:

I’m assuming that some kind of network issue is responsible, but the

Your proxy should should accept Novell domain (or at least selected  
sites used like [nu.novell.com](http://nu.novell.com) and [secure.novell.com](http://secure.novell.com)) without  
authentication.

You need to populate proxy setting in YAST and to add two lines  
with your proxy information to /etc/profile, for example:

export http\_proxy=“[http://10.10.1.1:8081/](http://10.10.1.1:8081/)”  
export https\_proxy=“[https://10.10.1.1:8081/](https://10.10.1.1:8081/)”

As well as the /root/.curlrc

I had various proxy vars in my environment already, like:

export http\_proxy=[http://xyz.oracle.com:80](http://xyz.oracle.com:80)  
export https\_proxy=[https://xyz.oracle.com:80/](https://xyz.oracle.com:80/)

And I added this to yast \> network services \> proxy as well as  
~/.bash\_profile. I tried adding to ~/.curlrc but got errors:  
Warning: /root/.curlrc:1: warning: ‘http\_proxy’ had unsupported  
trailing  
Warning: garbage  
Warning: /root/.curlrc:2: warning: ‘https\_proxy’ had unsupported  
trailing  
Warning: garbage  
Where curl is 7.19.0 and the .curlrc had this:

http\_proxy=[http://xyz.oracle.com:80](http://xyz.oracle.com:80)  
https\_proxy=[https://xyz.oracle.com:80](https://xyz.oracle.com:80)

I searched the internet and it seems that there are some issues with  
setting http proxies in .curlrc. I ran curl with -x $http\_proxy and  
that had the same output as running without -x, which is the html from a  
novell page that included stuff like this:

NOVELL: Novell Login - Error Page

So, it appears that it is working; i.e., it is connecting to novell and  
getting a denial page.

Now, when I run curl, it just sits there, with no output. It has been  
sitting there now for about 14 minutes, which seems kind of long, but  
I’m willing to let it go longer, if that is what is required.

suse\_register finally finished with no message, but an exit code ($?) of  
141. Not sure what that means, but I believe a failure, since:

Hello,

Did anyone find the answer to this one?

I need to install read crash dump on SLES SP1, SP2, and SP3 and want to do it from the same server, I’m assuming if I have the correct kernel-debuginfo\* packages,  
even if the OS is running SP3, it will still read crash dumps taken from SP2 and SP1 kernels?

But where on earth can you get the repos added. I can’t even find out where to download them. Do you really have to have a license subscription to get the packages? and even then where are they located.

Thanks.

Hi  
If you check the Customer Center → My Products → Mirror Credentials  
shows the user name and password, plus the URL’s (which includes the  
debuginfo ones). Yes you need an active subscription to get updates  
etc…

Hi suse986,

> Do you really have to have a license subscription to get the packages?

You need to have your system registered, which can be also be done with a free 60-day trial license. Registering the system will add the repositories to your system - if you ever loose those, i.e. because you delete them manually, simply rerun suse\_register without any parameters to get them re-added.

You may have to configure proxy settings (both in ~root/.curlrc and in /etc/sysconfig/proxy) to reach the registration service and repositories, depending on your setup. If your site is using an SMT server or SUSE Manager as a registration/update focal point, please contact that server’s admin for details.

Regards,  
Jens
