Previous poster suggested that convertall lives in ..../Kde:Extra repository. You will need to add that repository for your openSuSE version, refresh repositories and then you should be able to successfully search and install convertall. While there are other ways to go about searching for application not included in default repositories - I propose this: 1. Always check your current repositories: sudo zypper search convertall Or even better, using Yast That did not work for you as explained above. 2. In your browser navigate to: https://software.opensuse.org/search Search in all distributions for convertall 3. If the seach found the package for your version of openSuSE in experimental or community packages - click "1 Click Install" to add relevant repository and install the package. This way, the package should install all dependencies and will be automatically updated when you update your computer. If there is equal choice between experimental and community packages - I would recommend that you choose experimental as it is maintained by openSuSE. So there is probably better chance of getting help. That being said, investing into good openSuSE knowledge foundation by using manuals, as suggested before me, is the best way to become competent user. Good luck, Tomas

(This version is 2020-0826) I don't run TW but generally in openSUSE you can 'find' a 'missing' command using cnf (aka command-not-found), like: 'cnf locate' or 'command-not-found locate'.

Sorry, it looks like I replied to your email instead of the list (often do that with lists) It isn't THAT unusual I think, have you been able to launch qjackctl, THEN qsynth, THEN Rosegarden and either load a midi file into rosegarden OR compose a few notes and hear them when you play them? Maybe starting with less would be a first step before adding the keyboard to it all. I can walk you through my little routine (without the keyboard part) to see what comes loose :)

I run Leap 15.1, not TW, but you can get all the current Leap (15.2) documentation at: https://doc.opensuse.org/ Can't help you with Thunderbird as I use Claws Mail.

So you need to substitute 'lv' for 'lgrep'. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-support+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-support+owner(a)opensuse.org
