Hi there,

I’m trying install the bluefish editor and having a lotta trouble  
sorting it out. i’m actually new to linux and i’ve just installed the  
following version of openSuse:

SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 11 (i586)  
VERSION = 11

i’ve searched yast and couldn’t find it there.

I am hoping somebody here can help me out with some instructions on how  
to get it done..?

thanks!

Just use the one click as this will add the repository automatically,  
install via YaST and then disable the repository again via YaST. You can  
then check back on occasionally and re-enable if it updates.

It won’t be supported as such with SLE, but there is always here and  
bugzilla for the editor repository version.

Hi there, thanks for that. I’ve unfortunately encountered another  
error.

when i try to install via yast i get the following:

An error occurred while initializing the software repository.  
Details:  
System management is locked by the application with pid 15068  
(/usr/lib/YaST2/bin/y2base).  
Close this application before trying again.  
Try again?

when hit try again..i’m prompted for Server & directory details:

there is a field to enter Repository name

Server name is set as: [download.opensuse.org](http://download.opensuse.org)

directory on server is set to: /repositories/Education/SLE-11/

auth: anonymous

i’m not sure what i need to set the repository name as. no matter i’ve  
tried it loops back to the try again message above.

here is the logs:

Hello hnz linux.  
Close all YaST modules, open terminal and execute command:

`sudo zypper ar --refresh -repo
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Education/SLE-11/Education.repo`  
And if it succeeds, run this command: `sudo zypper install
bluefish`

SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop is not a version of openSUSE. openSUSE  
and SLED share a common base, but they are two different products.

That version information you post looks like part of the content of  
/etc/novell-release. Can you post the full content of that file? There  
should be a line in there that says PATCHLEVEL.

Download the installer: Once you select the appropriate version, you will be redirected to a page where you can download the installer file. Click on the download button or link to start the download.  
Run the installer: After the download is complete, locate the downloaded file on your computer and run the installer. Follow the on-screen instructions to proceed with the installation.  
Configure the installation: During the installation process, you may have the option to customize the installation settings, such as the installation location and additional components. Adjust these settings according to your preferences or keep the default settings.
