Greetings, One click Install is failing whenever I try to install anything with the error being reported by Firefox: /tmp/whatever_I_try.ymp could not be opened because the helper application does not exist. Change the association in your preferences. What should the preferences be? I presume the preferences are the file association maintained personal desktop settings? Any assistance gratefully received. OpenSuSE 10.3, KDE 3.5 TIA, -- Alister Leask -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Interesting. Is that a KDE specific issue? Because I am in Gnome and I never use anything but FireFox and I can recall at least 2 times that I've done the One-Click-Install in the last two weeks, with no problems.

It seems to work fine here with Firefox. The helper application should be the "YaST Meta Package handler", make sure that the package yast2-metapackage-handler is installed. If you are using KDE, you can go the File Associations section in the Control Center, search for file name pattern "ymp". The MIME type is text/x-suse-ymp. Hope this helps, Lutz -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

It should work with firefox too. Do you have yast2-metapackage-handler installed? Try reinstalling it. -- Benjamin Weber -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
