Analysis of Network Installation Mirror Source Issues in openEuler-25.03 and openEuler-24.03-LTS-SP2
Based on the provided information, the openEuler-24.03-LTS-SP2-netinst-x86_64-dvd network installation ISO suffers from an inability to automatically or manually fill in mirror sources. This issue also affects the network installation process of openEuler-25.03.
Issue Phenomenon
When using openEuler-24.03-LTS-SP2-netinst-x86_64-dvd or openEuler-25.03 for network installation:
- The installer shows “Error setting up base software repository”
- Cannot automatically detect or fill in network mirror source
- Even after manual configuration, installation source setup fails
- “Software Selection” displays “No installation source configured”
- Despite having a working network connection (e.g.,
eth0connected), the system fails to establish a connection to the software repository
Root Cause Analysis
1. Network Installation Logic Defect (Network Installation Logic)
- Present in the
openEuler-24.03-LTS-SP2-netinst-x86_64-dvdversion. - The installer fails to correctly read or populate the mirror source URL, preventing it from locating the base software repository.
- This is a logic flaw within the installer itself, attributed to the openEuler Development Team.

2. Slow Mirror Identification Algorithm Issue (Slow Mirror Identification)
- The mirror selection mechanism in the installer has a flaw, unable to identify and automatically select the fastest available mirror site.
- As a result, even with network connectivity, the system cannot quickly locate a usable mirror source.
Slow Mirror Identification→openEuler-25.03
3. Base Repository Setup Failure
- In the
openEuler-25.03installation process, despite a stable network connection, the “set up base software repository” step still fails. - This indicates the issue is not network-related but rather that the installer fails to correctly parse or request the target repository metadata (e.g., repomd.xml).

A user named openeuleros tested and provided a viable workaround, pointing to the following Gitee issue tracking link:
https://gitee.com/openeuler/community-issue/issues/IBZV1X
This issue has been recognized by the community as stemming from insufficient installer optimization and limited development resource allocation.
Validation of Similar Issues in Other Versions
This issue is not isolated:
| OS Version | Issue Present? | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| openEuler 22.03 LTS SP3 | Yes (partial) | Users report needing to manually specify Tsinghua or Huawei Cloud mirror sources to complete installation |
| openEuler 24.03 LTS SP2 | Yes | netinst version fails to auto/manual fill source, reproducible by multiple users |
| openEuler-25.03 | Yes | Network installation fails during base repository setup, even manual URL entry fails |

Recommended Solutions and Workarounds
1. Use DVD ISO Instead of Netinst
- Recommended: Use
openEuler-24.03-LTS-SP3-Everything-x86_64-DVDor similar full ISO image - Advantages:
- Contains complete software packages, does not rely on network sources for core system installation
- Allows manual mirror source configuration post-installation for future updates
2. Manually Specify Trusted Mirror Sources (if editable interface available)
If the installer interface allows manual input, try the following URLs (x86_64 architecture example):
OS Source:
https://mirrors.huaweicloud.com/openeuler/openEuler-24.03-LTS/OS/x86_64/
Update Source:
https://mirrors.huaweicloud.com/openeuler/openEuler-24.03-LTS/update/x86_64/
mirrors.huaweicloud.com) is fast and stable.

① First, turn on the network to ensure access to the public internet:
② If automatic mirror source acquisition fails, you can now enter it manually:
Address: https://repo.huaweicloud.com/openeuler/openEuler-25.03/everything/x86_64/
