**Step 4** When step 3 is complete: Now close the terminal and open: **Yast > Software > Software Management**
If you are working with a new install
, this may automatically add a list of forced updates. Apply and run those first and then return to Software Manager - Now use the package switcher on Packman.
KDE and Gnome interface look different:
If you encounter dependency errors: Eg: Errors You need to accept changes that allow vendor switch to Packman If you can’t work it out. Ask in the forum. **
Thanks for the guide, but these steps don’t work for me:

This process also works for 12.1 ?? Is it possible to add these directly into the yast repository list (‘add repository’ feature), or is it better to do via the console??
thank you. i am translating this page to Persian for Iranian openSUSE users.
two questions:
**1- **can you add commands to this article for recognizing windows NTFS partitions and allow read/write operation on them in openSUSE? 2- does openSUSE open Zip and RAR format files? if not, is it possible for you to add commands to this article about how install these formats in openSUSE?
For 12.2 KDE I get a lot of problems during install.
ex.
Problem: k3b-codecs-2.0.2-15.44.x86_64 requires k3b = 2.0.2-15.44, but this requirement cannot be provided
