The one click install will offer you the option of setting up the VLC repository as well as simply installing VLC. But if you've installed the VLC with the one-click install then the issue of the repository in order to install VLC become a non issue :-)

What do you mean by that? Where did you click on it? If I want to start the software manager and nothing else I don't visit a web page. I click on the start menu, (bottom left of bar), choose 'computer', then 'install/remove software'.

Yes, when I am clicking on this, I think a window should come, where we can search our required s/w. But that window came for me only once 3 days back, though which I installed GVim. But after that lot's of click went on it, that window never came.. so I am depressed... :-)

So, it seems you don't have "yast2-metapackage-handler" installed. That has the one-click install handler code. Please install that with (at the root command prompt) zypper install "yast2-metapackage-handler" The go back to that web page and click on the "one click install" button. -- Nobody will ever win the Battle of the Sexes.

Arup there is a typo on the package name you wrote above. Notice metapackage vs. meta-package Here it is: rpm -qa yast2-metapackage-handler yast2-metapackage-handler-3.0.0-2.1.4.noarch Regards, R.

Point: zypper response, "Nothing to do", does not verify a package is installed. You still must install "yast2-meta-package-handler" to accomplish your intent. You probably do not have a repo active that contains the yast package.

And what does 'still not working' mean now. What isn't working? Are you saying that clicking on a button labelled "one click install" doesn't work? Describe 'not work' in more detail please. What button? Where? What is the URL of the button, THE BUTTON! Not the page the button is on.

Hey! Now I tried YaST -> Software -> Software Management ( clicked on it) It is now working. Once I clicked, the search window opened and something got downloaded. It is now working, means the search window is coming from where we need to search the repository.

Are you saying that the "one click install" doesn't work for you? If that is the case, please make sure you have "yast2-metapackage-handler" installed.

packages from videolan and packman are not necessarily compatible.
