Leave a comment

WIP (Work In progress)…

This is my personal guide for post install OpenSUSE with KDE for developing/hacking, everything as root…

Base:

First step… update your system and allow vendor change policy:

zypper update
sed -i 's/# solver.allowVendorChange = false/solver.allowVendorChange = true/g' /etc/zypp/zypp.conf

Now, install the following repos (depending on your needs):

# for google chrome:
zypper ar --refresh https://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/rpm/stable/x86_64 Google-Chrome
# for google repos:
wget https://dl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub
rpm --import linux_signing_key.pub
# For security software:
zypper ar --refresh https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/security/15.4/security.repo
# Graphics:
zypper ar --refresh https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/graphics/15.4/graphics.repo
# For Snapd:
zypper ar --refresh https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/system:/snappy/openSUSE_Leap_15.4 snappy
# For Codecs...
zypper ar --refresh -cfp 90 -n Packman https://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/misc/packman/suse/openSUSE_Leap_15.4/ packman

Then, you may want to install snapd (many software is available trough snapd), proceed as follows, execute each one by one:

zypper install snapd
systemctl enable --now snapd
systemctl enable --now snapd.apparmor
