"One click install" shows only text. Now what?

Right click → open with Yast?

The above is missing almost any factual information. Like:

. What version of openSUSE do you use?

. What are you trying to install and from where?

. What are the exect steps you took.

We are realy not clairvoyant and the fact that these forums are not filled with the same experience you have, should have told you that most of us do not have the same problem as you have. And that thus for your specific problem, the specific details are important.

Sorry for the lack of information. I was trying to install Steam. The issue seems to be with Google Chrome, something on my security setup is preventing it do it’s job (tested with Firefox and everything works.

I’ll re-configure it and post back the results.

Well I have no idea, I even set everything to “allow” on privacy settings and disabled adblock. Can’t get it to work.

It is getting more vague with every one of your posts instead of becoming more clear :frowning:

You did not answer at least two of my questions.

When I read and re-read and re-read what you posted, my conclusion is that it might be that you can install when you use Fx to go to the openSUSE search site, but that you can not when you use Chrome. Is that correct?

Sorry but I’m on such a hurry today I didn’t even read yours correctly. Also, it’s not a system problem itself but something on Chrome, yes.

  • 12.2 x64

  • Anything on openSUSE “1 Click install” doesn’t work, could be NVIDIA drivers, Steam, name it. I already added the repo from nvidia so that’s not a problem. I downloaded Steam and it’s already installed.

  • Usually I update the system (from fresh install. Notice I’m testing openSUSE according to my knowledge). Then install Chrome. I already set my settings to allow everything (from cookies to IP tracing, Java etc).

As your title does not cover your problem (any more), my advice would be to start a new thread. And clearly state you problem is with Chrome only, so you get at least people using Chrome reading your thread.

Second advice is that you never mention there things like “it does not work” as such expressions do not convey any information at all. A problem description contain three things:
. What you did (and not “1-click install”, but every click and where, etc.).
. What you expected that would happen.
. What happened instead (and not “it does not work”, because that is your conclusion, but what you see!).

Third, only start that new thread when you are not in a hurry to do so many other things that you can not adequate read, act and answer to those people that give their spare time trying to help you. They may get frustrated and leave you to your own devices.

confirmed: clicking on “1-Click Install” link on
http://software.opensuse.org/package/steam results in a
<metapackage>
BIG snip
</metapackage>
page displaying in Chrome (software details in sig)

http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Services_help says problems with
software.opensuse.org should be reported to admin@opensuse.org

i’ll leave it to the finder to do that…

Try “CTRL+S” after this appear :slight_smile:
i think chrome is miss understanding the file. Becasue .ymp is builded from “code” on the “text”.

I think you are correct. The web server anounces the file being

Content-type: text/x-suse-ymp

You can find in KDE Systemsettings > file associations that that must be handled by YaST one-click install. Fx (and Konqueror) do honour this setting. But Chrome apparently does not use KDE settings (surprise,surprise) and does not know anything by itself about such a file type (again: surprise, surprise.).

That is not something that openSUSE can cure IMHO. It must be done by the Chrome developers :wink:

The easy way?

Yast - Software - Software repositories
Click Add
Select “Repositories maintained by the community”, Next
Check the Games repo, Next
OK, when prompted for, trust the key

Yast - Software - Softwaremanager
Search for steam
Check for install
Accept
Done.

I had this
But I just waited a few mins and Yast fired up :X

Waited for 10 minutes in Chrome, nothing happens. Only after pressing Ctrl-S, saving the ymp file. Plus, I set it to open this type automatically. There’s too much to find on Chrome and mime-types where it’s stated we cannot change this. Weird.

You’re a MOD, you can’t change the title? :open_mouth:
I PROMISE my posts from next week will be more detailed. I’m really sorry they aren’t right now.

Thanks for your info. Already did.

Can’t we just right click on 1clicks and save the target as a “*.ymp” and double click on that . I did that in the past and it worked for me. Ofcourse mine is a GNOME desktop.

Yes, that is how you have to do it. Instead of double click you can click the little arrow on the chrome download box and select open.

Do you guys also configured your Chrome? Because at the early stages it actually opened YasT for me, think before I log in or something like that, but I’m not sure.

BTW I can’t post attachments, what gives?

Use susepaste if you want us to see something
SUSE Paste

So, being 2 years late to this let me start by saying I hope you found a fix. I recently installed openSUSE and had the same frustration with the way Chrome handled the ymp files by displaying the contents in a tab. So after surfing around, I came upon a Chrome plugin to fix the one-click install.

https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ymp-one-click-installer/chldcpnlaiffaelmcjkeodakmnkomldg?hl=en

Two issues with this fix:

  1. After installation, I had to follow a link to download some files to update the extension. I tried one-click install before and after the extra update and I can verify that it’s necessary for the plugin to work. So not as easy as going to the chrome store and saying “add to chrome” expecting everything to work. But once the update is applied, all good.
  2. It is no longer one click install. There’s one click on the “one click install” link, then a dialog asking to confirm you want to install (another click). So, maybe whoever made this plugin should rename is “two click install”
    :wink:
