If you can't connect to the webserver where the repo is hosted you won't be able to install packages or update your system. Are you able to access that url from your mobile phone using 4G and your home wireless network?linux-tuxedo:~ # curl -I https://download.opensuse.org

My only mobile phone is a dumb Nokia, it has no Internet access; and my fibre modem is connected to my desktop computer via an "ethernet cable" — it may have wifi capability but I never used it and I forgot any password it may have had. So the answer is: no because I don't have the technology.If you can't connect to the webserver where the repo is hosted you won't be able to install packages or update your system.

That makes it hard to troubleshoot because those were ways to test if the problem is your isp connection or that the problem is with your installation. Did you recently update your system?My only mobile phone is a dumb Nokia, it has no Internet access; and my fibre modem is connected to my desktop computer via an "ethernet cable" — it may have wifi capability but I never used it and I forgot any password it may have had.

On openSUSE Tumbleweed (the "rolling release"), a system update arrives up to once or twice per 24 hours, or sometimes less often; and a reboot may or may not be required afterwards (it is required if there is a new version of the kernel, and in some other cases). My current system is datestamped 20231110, as can be seen from the login prompt on the text-type Linux consoles (Ctrl-Alt-F1 etc.). That was several days before it started failing.That makes it hard to troubleshoot because those were ways to test if the problem is your isp connection or that the problem is with your installation.

I know how rolling distributions work.On openSUSE Tumbleweed (the "rolling release"), a system update arrives up to once or twice per 24 hours, or sometimes less often; and a reboot may or may not be required afterwards (it is required if there is a new version of the kernel, and in some other cases).

That doesn't mean much, it could be that they are blocking downloads.opensuse.org on your ISP connection. Since you don't have any other devices to connect to 4G or to your home wireless we can't test either. Can you access google.com from Tumbleweed install?Today I phoned Customer Service at my ISP, they tested the line and tele-installed a modem software upgrade (which took ¼ h, and my computer spontaneously halted or at least went to sleep when they started) then they told me my Internet was "operational".
