OpenSuse Text Editor
Hey everyone,
What is the name of a text editor that comes by default with OpenSuse? I tried pico, nano, both result command not found. Typing 'edit' gives me VIM, but I am not comfortable with VIM. Is there anything more like nano or pico? Thanks for your help Greenie |
Try kwrite for some files you need root privileges to run kwrite
|
OpenSUSE probably has packages for nano and/or pico..

Or even in Fedora I would use yum, so I need to learn what the package manager command is in OpenSuse? |
To be honest, I would just go and read the documentation (and no, I don't know)..
|
yast will help you install the packages you need....

I checked if I could PING across my network, which I can so I know the network is up (eth0). So Yast is not working for me. I was kind of hoping for a nice simple command line based package command like apt-get or yum. That would sure make life easier. |

At the moment my Xserver is playing up, it does not like my ATI video card in my Notebook computer, I managed to VIM the xorg log file and noticed that Xserver is not recognising the model of my video card, it does recognise its an ATI card, but it does not recognise the particular model, so now it just gives a black screen. |

Tried using the command 'zypper' which looks promising, however there are no repos configured for it by default (which is a bit silly not to have the basic OpenSuse repos configured by default). So now I have to discover the URI's for the repos and add them manually using:
Code:
zypper repoadd [URI] Edit: turns out there are some repos configured, but the computer never bothers to refer to the remote repo server to check if the package is available. Even though the network is up and working. |
You can install packages using zypper e.g.
Code:
#zypper install nano |

When I run yast from the CLI, I am presented with a blue screen and a menu. If I select "Software" from the menu, I am then presented with a blue screen divided into four nearly empty quadrants. |

but the average user trying linux for their time would not have found it so easy. Lucky I had some idea of what I was looking for. I know, I know self help blah blah, but the helpful linux community is really what separates Linux from Windows (both O/S have their shortfalls). |

EDIT if I use it than I use from the command line to my knowledge EDIT is not depending on the Xserver You can also run yast or zypper from the command line and install a other editor if you wish |
