later, from another post, which I can't locate, I was told to get this: imagescan-bundle-opensuse-15.1-3.59.2.x64.rpm.tar.gz so I did tar -xzvf imagescan-bundle-opensuse-15.1-3.59.2.x64.rpm.tar.gz and got an rpm file, as expected, but it has trouble installing:
[CODE] apt-get install imagescan-3.59.2-1epson4opensuse15.1.x86_64.rpm Specified local path does not exist or is not accessible. Problem retrieving the specified RPM file: Malformed URI: Please check whether the file is accessible. Problem with the RPM file specified as 'imagescan-3.59.2-1epson4opensuse15.1.x86_64.rpm', skipping. No valid arguments specified.[/CODE]
which would indicate that the rpm file was not where expected.
zypper -v in /<path>/<to>/<file>.rpm or rpm -Uvhi /<path>/<to>/<file>.rpm
don't know why you want to utilize apt<anything> in openSUSE.
Not getting anywhere fast. Here's the latest, which I hope I've done as requested, but no cigar: In case 'in/home/doug/Downloads/imagescan-bundle-opensuse-15.1-3.59.2.x64.rpm' is not a typo it's probably not a built-in command, but provided as a subcommand or plug-in (see 'zypper help subcommand'). In this case a specific package providing the subcommand needs to be installed first. Those packages are often named 'zypper-in/home/doug/Downloads/imagescan-bundle-opensuse-15.1-3.59.2.x64.rpm' or 'zypper-in/home/doug/Downloads/imagescan-bundle-opensuse-15.1-3.59.2.x64.rpm-plugin'. linux-4qnb: -bash: zypper-in/home/doug/Downloads/imagescan-bundle-opensuse-15.1-3.59.2.x64.rpm: No such file or directory One reply suggests that the file contains further rpms. I don't know how to work with that--it's a new one to me--but if I can't get it to decode the main rpm, then I seem to be stuck.
As I mentioned in another post, AFAIK, apt-get install works in any linux, including Ubuntu and PCLOS. It has worked upt to now in Tumblewweed, perfectly.
Anyway, I tried the suggested routine, and it still doesn't work:
linux-4qnb:/home/doug/Downloads # zypper -
zypper subcommand
imagescan-bundle-opensuse-15.1-3.59.2.x64.rpm Verbosity: 2 Unknown command 'imagescan-bundle-opensuse-15.1-3.59.2.x64.rpm' Type 'zypper help' to get a list of global options and commands.
You had to use:
zypper -v in /<path>/<to>/<file>.rpm ........... **...**********
not "zypper -v imagescan-bundle-opensuse-15.1-3.59.2.x64.rpm"
You did not enter the path, nor the command "in".
Isn't the path "/home/doug/Downloads"? I don't know a path where it should PUT the results--that should be in the rpm itself. Also, it complained about no hyphen in "zypper in" so I put in a hyphen. Tried with and without a space before the/home/doug/Downloads path, but it doesn't like it: linux-4qnb:/home/doug/Downloads # zypper-in /home/doug/Downloads/imagescan-bundle-opensuse-15.1-3.59.2.x64.rpm If 'zypper-in' is not a typo you can use command-not-found to lookup the package that contains it, like this: cnf zypper-in Also tried "zypper in" without the hyphen and it didn't like that either. Do I need to put the word "to" in front of the path, and does it need the /to/ in it? Or is that just an illustration? I'm running out of things to try. If someone may have actually run this, please post the exact command you used and what happened. Thanx, doug
