I’m trying to install Simplenote. It works well on my Ipad and I can transfer the notes to my Laptop. I try to install the rpm but get n"othing provides ‘libuuid’ needed by the to be installed simplenote-2.27.1-1.x86_64"
Many of the answers say…use another app from the shop.
I have looked on the Open Suse software site and I got a Camel image and it seems there isn’t an rpm for Leap 16.
What can I do?
I think it’s on Snap but when I follow the commands to install it I get lots of red text saying the repo addresses aren’t right or somesuch…and that’s from the suse instructions.

Do I ignore all that?
Repository number 1 is your USB pen drive where you installed Leap from. As the USB drive is not available, any package transaction will complain. So you need to remove it. sudo zypper rr 1
The second problem is, that the URL of repo number 8 is incorrect. You can open Myrlyn->Extras->Configure Repositories. Mark the Snappy repo and hit edit. The URL must end on 16.0 instead of 16
I deleted that USB. Installed Myrlyn but it won’t open because I need to refresh repos. I did that and it repeats…do I need a reboot?
Ah! No, that looks like I wasn’t running it as sudo.
Myrlyn does disable invalid repos for one run. So Myrlyn should open and temporary disable the snappy repo. But you should be able to edit it via the described way.
