Can't install Apps under Leap 16.0

English Install/Boot/Login
1

KDE Desktop,
Leap 16.0 freshly installed using online installer,
core-i3,
wired connection.

In the task manager I open “Discover”.
Search for “KFind”.

I get “Search: KFind - 1 item”.

I click on the button to download/install KFind.

A small window opens with the Message:
“Update Issue
There was an issue during the update or installation process. Please try again later.”

There is button
“See Technical Details”
which I click.
Result:
“Internal error: Repository unknown”

Zypper doesn’t seem to be present anymore under Leap 16.0.

What makes you think that?
Did you try to install a package via zypper?
sudo zypper in kfind

That is nonsense you could have tested yourself. Just type zypper or which zypper.

  1. Yea, okay, some folks (like me) will [only] use Discover for Flatpak apps.
    However, you should be using Myrlyn (see screenshot) - it’s the “new YaST Software” tool.
  2. Correct: “Zypper” does not exist … it’s “zypper”:
user :~ # zypper in kfind
Refreshing service 'openSUSE'.
Loading repository data...
Reading installed packages...
Resolving package dependencies...

The following NEW package is going to be installed:
  kfind

1 new package to install.

Package download size:   214.9 KiB

Package install size change:
              |     405.2 KiB  required by packages that will be installed
   405.2 KiB  |  -      0 B    released by packages that will be removed

Uups … I think in the terminal I typed “Zypper” with an uppercase ‘Z’ which of cause didn’t work.
One then of course gets
Zypper: command not found.

sudo zypper in kfind
works well, just like
sudo zypper in gparted
(where GParted in “Discover” is written with an uppercase ‘G’, however).

Thanks!

Ah great, I’ll have a look at Myrlyn!

However, why “Discover” (being installed in Leap 16.0 by default) after installation isn’t configured in a way that it would work?
Can this be changed?

8

Discover works here , to include using it on 15.6 … must be a mis-configuartion issue on your system.

Hi again, I was writing about a freshly installed Leap 16.0 without any modifications after install, not about Leap 15.6.

I never used “Discover” under Leap 15.6, because there I didn’t have a need for that.

10

I was merely stating that Discover also exists on 15.6, as well as Leap 16 … I absolutely understand you’re referring to Leap 16.

And again, Discover works as expected here on Leap 16.

If you’re having an issue with Discover on your fresh install, there’s probably a configuration issue :+1:

11

“some folks …” - I surely am among those - but YaST and its section software is gone, so I was looking if there would be any kind of replacement.

And oh yes, it feels really familiar working with Myrlyn !
And it has some advances compared to the section software of YaST.

I wish that one could have access to Myrlyn during the installation of Leap 16 !

Great! Thank you very much!
