I've recently installed OpenSUSE for the first time and trying to get everything working. Right now, I'm trying to install an Nvidia driver with a filename that looks like this:
NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-340.24.run
When I double-click, I get the following:
> There is no specialized application for files of the type shell script (application/x-shellscript).
The file can be opened in a more generic application as file type plain text document (text/plain), or you can try to install a specialized application for file type shell script (application/x-shellscript).
Do you want to try to install a specialized application?
If I click “Yes”, I get this:
> The software to install could not be found in the currently enabled software repositories.It may be located in other repositories.
See http://help.opensuse.org/ksuseinstall for details.
Do you want to configure your repositories?
...and now I'm stymied. Any suggestions? I read a similar post in which the problem was a Java file with a .sh extension (I think), but I'm not sure whether or not this is the same issue.
Many thanks in advance for any assistance!
