Started out on the first item. (This is intended for LEAP and is a little different.)
I did not see "Activate Online Repositories" in my installation setup. I would like to do that now--how? I would like to install all four. Looking at the printer setup stuff: Apparently in the Leap install, there are sections that prompt for printer setup. TW doesn't have that. I am going to try and setup both HP and Epson (all mode) printers, using the information in opensuse leap documentation, but it seems to assume some automation in that system that does not occur in TW. For instance: I am going to have to install a ppd file for the Epson printer.

No, you don't. You already have them. "zypper lr --details" says so.

I'm 99% sure TW also has the same system, with some newer features. Maybe you need to install a missing YaST module. Don't go over internet looking for such a module, it will be listed in yast Software Management module. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.1 x86_64 at Telcontar)

Why write another unit converter? There are plenty of them out there. Well, I couldn't find one that worked quite the way I wanted.
With ConvertAll, you can combine the units any way you want. If you want to convert from inches per decade, that's fine. Or from meter-pounds. Or from cubic nautical miles. The units don't have to make sense to anyone else.

sudo zypper search convertall - did not find anything because you do not have configured any repository containing convertall. Previous poster suggested that convertall lives in ..../Kde:Extra repository. You will need to add that repository for your openSuSE version, refresh repositories and then you should be able to successfully search and install convertall. While there are other ways to go about searching for application not included in default repositories - I propose this: 1. Always check your current repositories: sudo zypper search convertall Or even better, using Yast That did not work for you as explained above. 2. In your browser navigate to: https://software.opensuse.org/search Search in all distributions for convertall 3. If the seach found the package for your version of openSuSE in experimental or community packages - click "1 Click Install" to add relevant repository and install the package. This way, the package should install all dependencies and will be automatically updated when you update your computer. If there is equal choice between experimental and community packages - I would recommend that you choose experimental as it is maintained by openSuSE. So there is probably better chance of getting help. That being said, investing into good openSuSE knowledge foundation by using manuals, as suggested before me, is the best way to become competent user. Good luck, Tomas
