Getting kind of long but I left it all there anyway.
no need :^(
Did you find kfilebox in Yast or ............?
Yast, Appers and File Search [webpin] can't seem to find their arse with both hands, or either hand. File Search keeps coming back with a 404 error for everything. Yast just says "Not Found".
search for "kfilebox" I find 6 listings today.
But, isn't finding and installing software packages the purpose of Yast? When you search for a package that is supplied from openSUSE repos shouldn't Yast be able to find it and install it?
You answered your own question :^)
If you have the proper repos set up that is.
so you now have need of http://software.opensuse.org/search
I'm not sure the purpose of Package Search. That's something "new" since my last foray into SuSE. It says it's supposed to search the web for packages. Maybe it's supposed to search places like the link above. But all it ever returns is a 404 error.
webpin is broken and has been since 11.4, perhaps earlier.
Appers looks to me like a KDE package manager that is a KDE based alternative to Yast.
one of the first apps I removed. I am old and like the keyboard and utilize text for as much as I find handy and zypper is king. But, again zypper will only work with the repos that are configured.
If the only way to find the software you need is to search for it from Firefox, or your favorite browser, why do you need Yast and the rest?
YaST is *not* only about installing packages :^) as far as the "rest", that is somewhat ambiguous. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
