Problem installing on Opensuse Tumbleweed?

[Kreukel]

Hello,
Installing on Opensuse Tumbleweed.
Is the rpm broken? Am I doing something wrong? I downloaded then tried to install following the instructions

Code: Select all

wget https://www.softmaker.net/down/softmaker-office-nx-1415.x86_64.rpm

followed by

Code: Select all

sudo -E zypper install ./softmaker-office-nx-1415.x86_64.rpm

Here is what happens...

Code: Select all

...@localhost:~> sudo -E zypper install ./softmaker-office-nx-1415.x86_64.rpm
'./softmaker-office-nx-1415.x86_64.rpm' looks like an RPM file. Will try to use it.

You can see from the download size of 30 MByte that you have an aborted download. Try downloading again.

It seems you’ve had a problem installing the beta version of SoftMaker Office NX (2026), here’s how I did it on my Tumbleweed:

For the BETA version of NX, add the GPG key (if you haven’t already done):

Code: Select all

sudo rpm --import https://shop.softmaker.com/repo/rpm/softmaker-repo.asc

Creation of a local repository to get the beta RPM file inside (because not yet available in official repository):

Code: Select all

mkdir ~/SoftMaker/beta
sudo zypper ar -f ~/SoftMaker/beta/ SoftMaker-beta
sudo zypper ar -f https://shop.softmaker.com/repo/rpm/ SoftMaker (this one also for official repo!)

Download the current beta version and then install it from command line (or by using YaST or Myrlyn):

Code: Select all

cd ~/SoftMaker/beta
wget https://www.softmaker.net/down/softmaker-office-nx-1415.x86_64.rpm
sudo zypper install softmaker-office-nx

Why did I create a local repo in the SoftMaker folder for this beta version? Because every system update done by Zypper, Myrlyn or Discover tried to reinstall the previous version of NX, as this beta version had not been installed from the official repository.

@martin-k

Perhaps it would be more convenient if SoftMaker offered 2 separate repositories:

- the first one for all stable versions of their softwares.
- and the second, exclusively for new beta versions, when available.

Kind of like what Mullvad does: their stable repository contains their programs and their beta repo offers beta versions of their software when available, these are replaced in the repo by the final version as soon as possible.

I’m not sure if you’re still interested by the beta version of SoftMaker Office NX 2026. If, as I suggested above, you’ve already integrated the GPG key and created the local RPM repository, here’s how to install the last one on Tumbleweed:

Code: Select all

cd ~/SoftMaker/beta
wget https://www.softmaker.net/down/softmaker-office-nx-1417.x86_64.rpm

The latest beta version will be installed automatically by the next system update via Discover or Zypper, otherwise manually by using Myrlyn or YaST Software or with the following command:

Code: Select all

sudo zypper in softmaker-office-nx
