Hello,
I need a little help with Tumbleweed.
I don’t know how to uninstall programs.
I mean, I want to uninstall “games”. I remove games + pattern + all libraries I find (patterns-kde-kde_games, libkdegames-lang, libkf5kdegames6, patterns-games-games etc.) but when I write “zypper dup”, games was installed by default.
How can I get rid of “games” or another pattern?
Thank you.
Open Yast software management, search patterns and mark the appropriate pattern(s) to never install. You do this by right clicking .
You can also do
zypper al <appropriate pattern - name in full>
Thank you.
I don’t like to use yast too much. I think that it is one of the greatest tools I ever see in a linux distribution but I am don’t want to forget the command line.
Thank you for al (addlock) command. I am new in Suse and I have some problems with zypper (BTW another great tool).
I have lock games and kde_games.
But games still want to install…
This is my command line:
"aaa:~ # zypper ll
| Name | Type | Repository
–±----------±--------±----------
1 | games | package | (any)
2 | kde_games | package | (any)
aaa:~ # zypper dup

The following 2 NEW patterns are going to be installed:

Thank you.
Well, you locked the packages games and kde_games (which don’t exist), but not the patterns.
Run this instead to lock a pattern:
zypper al -t pattern *name_of_pattern(s)*
I.e. in your case:
zypper al -t pattern games kde_games
Or, as a pattern is actually a package with a name like patterns-openSUSE-name_of_pattern , you could also do something like this instead:
zypper al patterns-openSUSE-games patterns-openSUSE-kde_games
Thank you for the answer.
It is working with “zypper al -t pattern games”. I used “zypper al games”. And I locked a package not a pattern. My mistake.
Thank you all for helping a beginner in Opensuse.
I use
# zypper dup --no-recommends
to dissuade various packages that I have removed from being reloaded.
Thank you.
The more I read I realize that zypper is a very powerful package manager.
Until a few days ago I thought that pacman is the best package manager but now I am starting to think that I was wrong.
You should not be surprised. You should get information from
man zypper
Right now I was reading this:
