Hi all, I am compiling my kernel driver on top of SLES12 X86-64 3.12.28-4 (more at the bottom). I am using #include in my source code for couple of .h files that located in btrfs filesystem folder. for this i need kernel sources… Where do I find the kernel source package ? I saw [http://kernel.opensuse.org/packages/SLE12](http://kernel.opensuse.org/packages/SLE12) and [http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Kernel:/SLE12/](http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Kernel:/SLE12/) is empty ☹ and when i want to search the package with: “zypper search kernel” I get: Refreshing service ‘SUSE\_Linux\_Enterprise\_Server\_12\_x86\_64’. Problem retrieving the repository index file for service ‘SUSE\_Linux\_Enterprise\_Server\_12\_x86\_64’: Download (curl) error for ‘[https://scc.suse.com/access/services/1106/repo/repoindex.xml?cookies=0&credentials=SUSE\_Linux\_Enterprise\_Server\_12\_x86\_64](https://scc.suse.com/access/services/1106/repo/repoindex.xml?cookies=0&credentials=SUSE_Linux_Enterprise_Server_12_x86_64)’: Error code: Connection failed Error message: Failed to connect to [scc.suse.com](http://scc.suse.com) port 443: Connection refused Where do i download the package for kernel source ?

While there are other ways, getting the matching sources vie the online repos is the easiest and proper way. Not to mention it also seems you should be able to pacth your system once in a while. 😉 ## CU, Massimo Rosen Micro Focus Knowledge Partner No emails please!

Hi, I am working on it, I solved the 443 issue (SSL FW permissions) and now I re-subscribe my partnership. This specific machine is used only to compile my kernel driver. It is not the used to something else - just for compilation and then the driver is used on other places (customers) Where are the online repos that contains the kernel sources ? are they in suse site ? Thanks ---

If you are looking for a source package you can use “zypper search -t srcpackage ” i.e. “zypper search -t srcpackage kernel”. If you then want to install it use “zypper install -t srcpackage ”. ## HTH.

[a/r/i/? shows all options] (a):[/color] There can be a few reasons either at your end or SUSE’s. Is your server registered with SUSE Customer Center (SCC) or a local SUSE Manager/SMT server? Which repositories does your server have configured? What is the output from “zypper lr -u” You should be aware that general support for SLES12 (SP0) ended in June 2016 and ends in May (2017) for SP1 with the current and latest release being SP2. Given your earlier curl error I suspect it’s a server issue. ## HTH.

Hi, output of repository is: 1 | SUSE-Linux-Enterprise-Server-11-SP4 11.4.4-1.109 | SUSE-Linux-Enterprise-Server-11-SP4 11.4.4-1.109 | Yes | No | cd:///?devices=/dev/sr0 Anyway, i have successfully downloaded the packages manually via the website - via the patches url - kernel security patches… But isnt there a possibility to add a repository of old kernels and install via there ? like there is in other distros thanks
