I am an utter newbie, so apologies in advance for the inevitable ignorance and faux-pas.
I installed open suse 13.1 KDE desktop on my dell laptop. Most things have gone pretty well - although the getting the wifi running was a chore.
My question is about yast - it seems to have stopped working properly.
Through the yast gui (control center), when I click on Software management, or Software repositories modules - the cursor turns into a watch for a few seconds and then....nothing. I've been working around this by getting a bit more familiar with zypper and OCICLI, but now I've hit a wall.
I am trying to install the nvidia drivers from this page https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:NVIDIA_drivers
There is a one-click install, when I click it I choose yast as the program to open it with, and (I seem to recall this used to install stuff, but now) it simply downloads a ymp file to my /tmp/ directory. I
I have tried OCICLI on the url of the OCI button (and on the downloaded ymp), but the terminal window gives me no feedback, so I have no idea whether or not that has been successful.
Reading the forums I've seen various similar sounding issues, but none of the suggested fixes have worked for me.
Many thanks in advance
