Hi Did you add the “SLE-Module-Web-Scripting12” and “SLE-SDK12” repository extensions? If not YaST → Add on product. – Cheers Malcolm °¿° LFCS, SUSE Knowledge Partner (Linux Counter #276890) SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 12 GNOME 3.10.1 Kernel 3.12.28-4-default If you find this post helpful and are logged into the web interface, please show your appreciation and click on the star below… Thanks! ---
