Hi, I am new to opensuse, but i have experience with ubuntu and kubuntu from before. I am a lot happier with the overall experience on opensuse than on those two, and i would like to continue using it.
A showstopper for me so far has been not being able to install the Ardour DAW. When I search for “ardour” in Yeast2, it does not find anything.
zypper ls -d gives this result:

Also, i have located an .rpm at
http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/4/idpl/12153682/dir/opensuse/com/ardour-2.7.1-1.11.x86_64.rpm.html
. This one gives an error when opened with Kpackagekit:
A problem that we were not expecting has occurred.
Please report this bug with the error description.
Details
[PK_TMP_DIR|dir:///var/tmp/TmpDir.ZOyype] Repository already exists.
When i install with zypper from the downloaded package, the following message appears:
Installing: ardour-2.7.1-1.11 [done]
Additional rpm output:
warning: /var/cache/zypp/packages/_tmpRPMcache_/ardour-2.7.1-1.11.x86_64.rpm: Header V3 DSA/SHA1 Signature, key ID 20f035d8: NOKEY
And yes, Ardour is installed, but it is a slightly old version and will not be automatically updated from repos. I would really appreciate it if anyone knew a repo with the program, or could add it to Packman Multimedia.
