I got no errors installing it and I get no errors when I try to load it. It just won’t load. Help a noob out!
Hello and welcome to the openSUSE forums.
Please never assume that people can look over your shoulder or can read minds.
Assuming that you installed the package ksirk using either YaST > Software > Software Management or zypper (please confirm), then explain how you “load” it. When that is from the GUI, then please try from the terminal, that may give you some messages as a clue.
And post that terminal action here using CODE tags.
This is an important, but not easy to find feature on the forums.
Please use CODE tags around copied/pasted computer text in a post. It is the # button in the tool bar of the post editor. When applicable copy/paste complete, that is including the prompt, the command, the output and the next prompt.
An example is here: Using CODE tags Around your paste.
