Reading that, you will find this: "Not sure if this is still relevant to your situation, but for the sake of posterity: At least for Ubuntu, download "Discover" [software center] from the "Ubuntu Software" app. From there, AppStream links should work fine."

Maybe everyone should just stop replying when he opens a new thread. Then maybe he'll get the hint. ;)
Maybe you have a vested animosity towards me.
If that were true, I would not be sending replies to you at all -- ever. And I certainly would not have typed that 'wink' in the previous post. In an earlier reply to Patrick, you wrote this:
Yesterday, when I needed this, that computer which is 30 km from here, just did nothing when clicking on the link. I did not know that I needed Discover, Google did not tell me, the opensuse.org wiki did not tell me, and nobody told me when I asked.
Today, /I/ found in my main machine that Firefox opened the link with Discover. It was me who found out that Discover was needed.
Jesus! You people! 🙁

This nonsense all began because you were looking for "tuner". You failed to do the very first thing when looking for a package: Is it in the repositories? Well, yes it is in the 15.5 repository, as Andrei showed after you claimed a zypper search failed to find it. So all this BS was not necessary in the first place. But never mind, let's go on to finding out how to handle the AppStream mime, because that is clearly going to be an important thing to know, now and in the future. Yesterday, if you had done an effective Google search when you were on Elesar, you would have found the solution almost immediately. I found it within only a few minutes of beginning my search. I posted what I found, but that seems not to have been of interest to you, since you didn't bother to reply. Emphasis on the word "effective". I have usually found it useful to include the word "Linux" in the search phrase, so as to (hopefully) exclude all the Win-doze garbage that Google thinks I need. What you did post to open this thread is very wrong or misleading: That post suggests there is a button labelled "AppStream install" on https://search.opensuse.org/packages/. There is not. Type in "tuner" and do the search, and there is no such button on the result page either. I have no idea why you even bothered to continue the search, because as you said, there is no option here to search in Leap 15.5. Never mind, let's continue. Here is what you get when you have done the search: https://paste.opensuse.org/pastes/b9d5f543d7df Now you still have to click on "View" under "tuner" to get to where you will find the AppStream Install button. All that was missing from your first post, and you expect us to be able to solve your problem for you? Give me a break, Carlos. This is not the first time you have posted incomplete or inaccurate information. We are not mind readers. Finally: You now say that you learned on your own how to handle the AppStream meme. If so, then why in hell did you not post in here, immediately, that you had resolved the issue? Then (maybe???) this thread would have come to an end already, and we could move on to the next of your non-issues. And you have the colossal audacity to suggest that I might have an animosity towards you???????
