Welcome to SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12

Hi Amit,

have you tried using “zypper search” with substrings of the above packages, to see if they are provided with varying names?

Another question is, which repositories are enabled in your environment, so packages have moved to add-ons with SLES12…

Hi
Try the zypper se option, no need to be root either :wink:

You need to add the SLE-Module-Web-Scripting12 extension and probably
the SDK. In SLE 12 (See release notes) there is mariadb instead of
mysql.

Some are not available tiny-vim, pwgen.

Also packages like ntfs-3g are missing !
Took me a long time to figure out, why my usb disk wasn’t mounting.
