http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=954143 Bug ID: 954143 Summary: Leap (KDE5) doesn't know what to do with an .rpm file. Chrome 64bit and Skype tested. Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Distribution Version: Leap 42.1 Hardware: x86-64 OS: openSUSE 42.1 Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 Assignee: yast2-maintainers@suse.de Reporter: jedibeeftrix@ymail.com QA Contact: jsrain@suse.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:41.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/41.0 Build Identifier: Downloaded the rpm from google for 64bit Chrome and tried to click on it. Ark! Yast not even suggested, why? So, I add Yast as the preferred option for .rpm files and click on it again. Little Yast symbol pops up in a 'egg-timer' kind of way, few seconds later it disappears. Nothing. So i load up Yast, select import, and point it at the rpm. Error message. Is the whole problem because Leap is being clever and knows the 'opensuse' .rpm file is incompatible, or is this buggy behaviour? Same thing happens with Skype i586 .rpm from MS. Using 13.2 on my laptop i can open "apper software management" from the start menu. However, on Leap a start menu search for "apper" finds nothing. Likewise, "open with" on file properties cannot locate apper in system or utilities. Opening konsole in su and typing "run apper" gets nothing either... Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. download .rpm with "open with" (Yast) selected 2. open .rpm from download folder using Yast 3. open Yast, and "import" .rpm package from download folder 4. search for apper to use instead of Yast (nowhere to be found) Actual Results: nothing. system does not currently do anything with an .rpm file. Expected Results: .rpm opened with Yast, then proceeds to install using the Yast GUI Vanilla leap install working fine out the box, just can't modify it with new .rpm packages. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=954143 http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=954143#c3 --- Comment #3 from Martin Schlander --- It would definitely be great to have a file association for YaST sw_single for RPMs. Since YaST is the canonical GUI package manager on SUSE. When Apper was used that lead some people to get confused and think Apper was the "recommended" package manager. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

I am using Leap 42.1 with a fresh install. It happens either when rebooting or shutting down. After that I got the following errors on dmesg: [ [ 185.369365] kactivitymanage[1461]: segfault at 7ff42f180d10 ip 00007ff42f3c469a sp 00007ffe3a55a608 error 4 in libQt5Sql.so.5.5.0[7ff42f3af000+3f000] Switching to KDM lets me Reboot and Shutdown fine but the segfault persists. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

Ark is somehow still the default, but at least it's easily to work around by using "Open With -> Install/Remove Software".

This could probably be fixed by adding a "InitialPreference=x" line to the .desktop file. Ark has "InitialPreference=3", so x should be higher than 3. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

Please do not create this direct maintenance fixes. We have infrastructure for it. Simple use git branch at github and after merge, it can be send as maintenance update. Otherwise it cause us trouble to keep it in sync with other maintenance updates. Keeping patches in git is much easier then in build service. 42.1 do not have own branch for packager, so one for SLE12 SP1 is used as documented in http://yastgithubio.readthedocs.io/en/latest/maintenance-branches/#maintenan... https://github.com/yast/yast-packager/tree/SLE-12-SP1 -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

That is about 42.2. AFAICS the change has not been submitted to 42.1 at all (yet?). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

the change was submitted but not approved yet.

Users really wanting to install will find the command on the internet and just enter it, still without being aware of the risks. I think if user safety is a concern, Yast should handle it the whole way and print a warning stating that installing RPM outside from openSUSE repos is risky (and of course, not supported by the community) when opening the RPM. Given that, I'm in strong favour of applying the patch to avoid frustration for users knowing what they are doing. AFAICS, as of today, a fresh install of released Leap 42.2 still prioritise Ark over Yast to open RPMs. Does this mean it is too late for 42.2? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

I'm in favor of a maintenance update here, this was obviously forgotten. However, this is the YaST team's decision. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

We have reorganized the development branches to handle this kind of situations. I will adapt and re-target the pull request to go into Leap 42.2 ISO and to SLE-12-SP2 only as an maintenance update, so no need for SP2 release manager approval.

That change does not affect 42.1. As already said in comment#23, I would leave 42.1 out unless the maintenance team thinks different.

It looks like this got completely forgotten for the master branches, so it is missing in Leap 15.x and Tumbleweed. Please fix. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

If fact it was kind of "put to rest" because it was controversial, both from the implementation point of view and about how advisable would be to offer that "single click" approach. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

Looks like there is a misunderstanding. YaST opens RPMs already, but if other applications can also open RPMs, they get run instead. This applies to file archivers for example. This is obviously wrong so there shouldn't be any controversy around this. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
