Well, to be honest I can't get any Linux tools to work with my system. EVERY ONE will not install because of dependence problems. I try to add the missing lib files and end up with not being able to find them. So at the moment I don't have anything at all working.
What dependency problems? Which specific apps? Which 1-Clicks did you dig up? Provides some more details here so that the rest of us know where you're at.
Here are the pages where I tried to use the 1-Clicks:
http://packman.links2linux.org/package/openshot/295964 http://packman.links2linux.org/package/kdenlive/296165 http://packman.links2linux.org/package/cinelerra/296120
This is the error I got on all of them.
The install link or file you opened does not contain instructions for this version of openSUSE.
When I use yast to find and install, it can not find either one.
Do you have the "right" repos configured?
Are there wrong ones? I have not changed the repos since I installed 12.1 when I use Yast to install the three above it says on all of them not found.
SO I go to the 'net and look.
Define "the net"...
You know that big thing everyone is using to download porn and other things from. :)
are you on the openSUSE Software search pages? Someone's blog entry... rpm.pbone.net? Somewhere else?
Normally I first try something like " XXX package SuSE Linux" on google and which will, most times, bring up something useable.
I find the site where it has the "one click" install. I click and guess what, it can't find the instructions for 12.1 even when the site says its for 12.1 so I try by hand, back to dependence hell. I am really really disappoint in Suse over this.
Is it openSUSE? or something else? your disappointed in the way things went, but without details on the failure.... there's nothing anyone can do to assist. "It broke" isn't enough to go on :-P
Sometimes "Its broke" is all you have. The two sites I get most of my software from are Suse and Packman. See the links above.
After the 1-clicks don't work I d/l the rpms and try to install. But then the dependence hell starts. I have to install libs until at some point it either tells me lib not found at all or it will be something like "lib.so.4" installed and the program wants "lib.so.4.1" at which point nothing I do will make the program accept the lib installed. So I give up.
It could be so so so many things... are you using 64 bit install and trying to install an old 32 bit RPM?
I have a 64 bit install and I allway try for 64 before I use 32. I do know that this is possible. I've got 32 bit programs running on my system. For example I believe that Skype is 32 bit and it works fine.
Are you trying to install while the openSUSe servers are still broken (see the message from the past weekend about some RAID drives crashing)... is it possible that you're trying to install from the main server, and it was still offline when you did it?
This again brings up the point if the main servers are still down should not yast etc drop down to the next server? Or is there only one server for this? (I am asking this for info not to start another flame war.) BTW I just tried the 1-clicks on the sites above and get the same error again at 15:15 CET.
Thanks to everyone that has tried to help and if you have anymore helpful ideas please let me know. But at this point I think that I'll wait untill 12.2 comes out in July and hope that some of these problems are fixed.

I think that the problems you are facing are confined just on your system. I have not encountered any dependencies issue so far on my 12.1 and whenever package-manager or zypper found some, they resolve or suggest to the user how to resolve. My last very impressive smooth, succeeded installation have been Cinnamon and KDE4.8 which I installed on my GNOME3 laptop with overall satisfaction. Then, IMHO you have not to wait for 12.2 but try to resolve the issues on your system otherwise there are real possibilities you will face it again on 12.2, 12.3, ...
