openSUSE install links broken

Post by ozfossil »

I would like to ask if someone has been able to install VB in openSUSE in the last week or so from the VB official sources - and if so how were you able to correct the errors in the instructions and or file locations - is there another page or site that has correct information? I have been following the instructions for the last week at this page : https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads, and apart from simple mistakes or omissions - I could not get past the file errors - see my terminal results below:
peter@localhost:~> sudo rpm --import oracle_vbox.asc
[sudo] password for root: 
peter@localhost:~> wget -q https://www.virtualbox.org/download/oracle_vbox.asc -O- | rpm --import -
error: -: import read failed(0).
peter@localhost:~> zypper refresh
Root privileges are required to run this command.
peter@localhost:~> sudo zypper refresh

On your other, now deleted post, you wrote:
I hope it is OK to post a copy of this in a fresh post (for new eyes to see) as it is not as far as I can see, it is not an issue with my inabilities to get things to work?
A fresh post? Yes. A duplicate? No. According to the forum rules, duplicate posts are not allowed.
Do NOT send me Personal Messages (PMs) for troubleshooting, they are simply deleted.
Do NOT reply with the "QUOTE" button, please use the "POST REPLY", at the bottom of the form.
If you obfuscate any information requested, I will obfuscate my response. These are virtual UUIDs, not real ones.
