   Can and if so how do I get this working with firefox?

2. You just have to set up the association up in firefox, the konqueror one is set up automatically by the package. See http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-project/2007-04/msg00181.html for firefox instructions.

   Hello
   I don know what i’m doing wrong, but i can’t start it.
   I’ve installed yast2-mpp-0.0-0.suse102.noarch.rpm, and than i’m trying to click in konqueror on one of the links.But nothing happen.YaST2 is trying to start on panel, but nothing.
   So, i’ve tried simply run in shell-console ”/sbin/YaST2 PackageSearch”, but note is:

   user@unknown:~> /sbin/YaST2 PackageSearch
   Can’t locate LWP/Simple.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /y2update/modules /home/user/ .yast2/modules /usr/share/YaST2/modules /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/i586-linux-thread-m ulti /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/i586-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_p erl/5.8.8/i586-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl 5/vendor_perl .) at /usr/share/YaST2/modules/SearchClient.pm line 7.

   Sorry my poor english:-)

4. It looks like you’ve installed it with—nodeps and consequently failed to install the perl-xml-simple package it depends on. Try installing it (It’s in the main 10.2 repository)

   I tried this cools simple software installation but it seems an error while trying to install Pidgin plugin (and so with another package).

   I’ve installed perl-xml-simple package and yast2-metapackage-package. If I tried to click one of such package, YAST seems to run out but dissapeared before completing the installation.

   Run “myvavai:~ # /sbin/YaST2 PackageSearch” at konsole will display package search windows, but type in “pidgin” at the search text box will close th windows immediately with error log :

   File does not exist: 500 Can’t connect to benjiweber.co.uk:8080 (Bad hostname ‘benjiweber.co.uk’)
   at /usr/share/YaST2/modules/SearchClient.pm line 26
   http://benjiweber.co.uk:8080/searchservice/SearchService/Search/Simple/openSUSE_102/Can‘t undef active subroutine during global destruction.

   Is there any problem with my OpenSuSE box or is there any missing dependencies ?

6. Try it again later? Perhaps it was a temporary DNS issue? can you access http://benjiweber.co.uk:8080/webpin/ in a web browser? Are you behind an http proxy or something?

   Hello Ben,

   Thanks for your response.

   Yes, I have an internet Access behind the squid proxy server, but I’ve setting up Konqueror proxy setting. I can browse the internet. Is there any different setting for proxy access ?

8. Sorry you won’t be able to use that demo then. You can still try the simple install from pages hosted on standard port eg http://benjiweber.co.uk/installdemo/ but anything consuming the search service won’t work for you.

   Hello
   So, my problem is solved.I’ve missed perl-libwww-perl.rpm package, so i had to install it and now it’s working.
   Btw, something like this is it going to be in new openSUSE 10.3?

   Regards

    Rasto, that’s the plan, yup.

    It works just fine for me.

    A suggestion is to make the login as root pop-up always stay on top as it disappeared for me and I had to find it.

    other than that it works a treat well done.

    Suggestion: will it have an agent in the future to allow you to select multiple software bits to install?

    Thanks

13. It is in 10.3 alpha4 already, there is still some work to do before it’s fully ready, but it should be in 10.3.

    Have you thought about using a more generic URL like install://?
    This URL type could also be used in other distributions.
    Maybe you should contact them to develop a common method of simple software installing.

15. @ Azrael

    It does not require a special URL like install:// it could work in any browser already, with the appropriate association defined. It is just XML over http. We have been working on the design of the XML file served to ensure it is suitable for everyone.

    To do the same on other distributions they would just need to implement a client side handler for the XML and integrate with their own package management. The details are at http://en.opensuse.org/Standards/One_Click_Install , comments to the opensuse-softwaremgmt@opensuse.org mailing list. Any comments regarding the xml schema should be made as soon as possible as it will need to be frozen asap for 10.3.

    firstly – great app, this is really moving towards where we need to be.. However, I’m on SLED10..

    /sbin/YaST2 PackageSearch seems to search 10.2 packages by default – where can I edit this to search the SLED10 packages?

    Also, clicking on the 1-click install links from the opensuse software pages will open the new yast Metapackage module, but it always reports ‘nothing to do’. I have yast2-metapackage-handler-0.5.2-1.1 installed.

    Any suggestions much appreciated!

17. The packagesearch client was just a demo, won’t be included in the final distro. Perhaps we’ll have something in 10.4

    Where did you get the yast2-metapackage-handler from? Have you got xdg-utils and perl-xml-xpath installed?

    Hi Ben,

    I had thought I’d gotten it from OpenSuse – but checking the source, I find there’s a newer package there now;
    http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE:/Tools/SLE_10/repodata/
    – so have just installed that

    I now have the packages;
    perl-XML-XPath-1.13-2.1
    xdg-utils-1.0.1-45.1
    yast2-metapackage-handler-0.5.2-3.1

    ...and looks like it’s working (test installing pidgin now.. thanks!)

    damn – wrote too soon, it’s not adding the data sources;

    An error occurred while creating the installation source.
    Details:
    Unknown source type for http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/SUSE%3a/SLE-10/standard
    Try again?

    ..it seems to be doing this for all the sources it’s trying to add.
