How to install from essentials for OS 11.1

[josephkk]

I know that this has come up several times, but it has scrolled off the
available window of my news server. I need to install the multimedia
stuff from packman for open suse 11.1 which yast won't install. What was
the tools and method. Or just post a link to a howto.

Tried using the search on the webpage and got nothing looking for packman,
what's up with that? Or is it just more broken than usual with the silly
captcha just for a lousy search.

Ok i will (re)try that. The problem that i seem to keep getting is a MD5
sum error type issue. Therre was another tool to install packman rpms
that would deal with the invalid repo signature issue. That is the tool i
was looking for.

May be back in a while with results, i will have to disable some other
repositories first.

Sorry, still getting this:

Code:
-------------
Subprocess failed. Error: RPM failed: error:
/var/cache/zypp/packages/packman/Essentials/i586/libmpg123-0-1.13.4-1.4.i586.rpm:
Header V4 RSA/SHA1 signature: BAD, key ID 1abd1afb

error:
/var/cache/zypp/packages/packman/Essentials/i586/libmpg123-0-1.13.4-1.4.i586.rpm
cannot be installed
=============

Now what was that other tool?

Hi
What about the 1-click?
PackMan :: Package details for mpg123

Just make sure in the preferences (top by the flags) to 11.1

If not remove the repository and manually download and create a local repo and dump the rpm there, for example as your USER;

mkdir ~/local_rpms
cd ~/local_rpms
wget -c http://packman.mirrors.skynet.be/pub/packman/suse/11.1/Essentials/i586/libmpg123-0-1.13.4-1.4.i586.rpm
su -
zypper ar dir:///home/{username}/local_rpms local_rpms
zypper ref
zypper in libmpg123

Note: {username} is the username you created the repository directory above.

i see just now that you have been working at this update project for
five days....and, no one has yet mentioned that openSUSE 11.1 went past
its end-of-life one year and one day ago <http://en.opensuse.org/Lifetime>

i would suggest that you move to a supported version, 11.4 or 12.1

however if you wish to try to keep it updated and safe to use you should
join the Evergreen project here, http://tinyurl.com/4aflkpy

as far as i know the _only_ repo you should use to prolong the life of
openSUSE 11.1 is as listed on that page...and, if you run into troubles
or need assistance you should seek help from the mailing list linked
from that page..

Well the issues have changed over time. First, KDE4 was totally not ready
for quite a while, not until 11.4 (and still not then), so i could not
move on. Finally KDE3 has been resurrected but now my system is troubled,
i have learned better than to try to upgrade a troubled system. So first
i stabilize my existing system, then migrate to 11.4 with KDE3. The
Akonadi infected kmail2 is not acceptable. I may try a 12.1 with KDE3
though, but it must pass test drive in a VM first. Does this clarify how
things got to be the way they are?

Does anyone remember that alternate package/application manager that would
support the different (and valid) package signatures?
