Hi openSUSErs,
Would like to know if somebody else is facing same problem as me
attempting to install a rpm package from Firefox.
For example, trying to install a new version of VirtualBox by clicking
on the rpm link, opens correctly Package Installer but the process fails
to an error message stating that process has been interrupted by the user.
Anybody have same issue?
I am using openSUSE 12.2.
Cheers,

Hi Marco,
What do you mean by "the rpm link"? Has it been specifically packaged
for use on an openSUSE 12.2 system, or is it a generic package?

Carl

More especifically it is the latest VirtualBox RPM package.

'Generic' packages need to be evaluated on a case by case basis. It is
usually much better to obtain one that has been packaged for your exact
distribution and release. Have you tried the openSUSE package search?:

Carl,
Your answer doesn't match with my question which is related to something
wrong inside the configuration of mine, or possibly others openSUSE-12.2
file-type management from FireFox.

Probably due to the language barrier, Marco. I never install 'generic'
rpm packages using Firefox. Not ever. :-)
Have fun!

The <problem> probably stems from ymp files being missing for <generic>
rpms rather than a "configuration" problem of his. I can count the times
I have used firefox to install rpm files on one hand, much simpler to dl
and install locally.

I am using the same package. Download the rpm to a local filesystem.
sudo zypper in /path-to/VirtualBox-4.2-4.2.6_82870_openSUSE114-1.x86_64
works for me
package is labled for 11.4 but works on all > 11.4. Do not know the other
way.

Rajko,
Your several explanations have been useful enough to understand the problem.
Then if the "guilty" is Apper, "we" should have the equivalent
package
manager for Gnome which could be started within Firefox by clicking on
the RPM link or even better "we" should have a corrected Apper.
I use 99,9% Gnome but I have also KDE as alternative desktop and I see
that this mix is not working as expected.
Manual RPM installation also works flawlessly for me, but I would like a
faster way to do the same thing!
Cheers,

It is using Apper and Apper is using PackageKit that has a shim layer to
libzypp (PackageKit-backend-zypp), and that one was source of many
problems. In other words one needs all updates offered trough regular
update channel.
System is updated and KDE is Platform Version 4.9.4 "release 5".
Not sure about Gnome side, though.
For example, trying to install a new version of
VirtualBox by clicking
on the rpm link, opens correctly Package Installer but the process
fails to an error message stating that process has been interrupted
by the user.
No issues here, but I'm patient with Apper and its shim layers :)
It is slow process comparing to zypper.
With only feedback in form of a completion bar indicator that stay at
almost done for a while, users could be tempted to press Continue
button more then once, which may bring "interrupted by the user". I
can't know that as I was waiting for error to appear on its own, and
VBox installation ended with success. With exception of well known
downloads, like VBox, I don't use direct installation from the web, so I
don't have another package to try.
BTW, package is not really generic, it is for few openSUSE releases, but
it is openSUSE, not "for rpm based distros" which usually means based
on Fedora, and likely incompatible with SUSE.
The one that you can find following Carl's suggestion, is OSS version
with support for USB 1.1. In other words external USB drives will be
very slow. I'm not aware of any other differences, and depending on
your use case, that version could be all you need.
