Barrier, inclusion in software centre

Any chance of including Barrier (software that mimics the functionality of a KVM switch) into the software centre?

Welcome @RonO,
you may find it in testing repository.

Hi, I have repositories x86_64 Rock, x86_64 Rock Updates & x86_64 Rock Testing selected.
No Barrier software there unfortunately.

barrier will be published into unsupported repository so you need to enable also x86_64 Rock Unsuppored repository

Thanks Mandian
I’ve enabled x86_64 Rock Unsupported repository
sudo dnf in Barrier returns “No match for argument: Barrier”
Is Barrier yet to be published to the repository?

@RonO try again now.
If still no luck please post the output of

$ sudo dnf clean all;dnf clean all;dnf repolist

No luck yet

rock-x86_64-unsupported                       OpenMandriva Rock - Unsupported - x86_64

non-free is included as I’m working on getting a nvidia graphics adapter working next.

Note: I just published barrier from testing to /unsupported (updates), so /testing enabled should not even be necessary anymore.

Question is also how did you enable the additional repos?

As in your pictures above.

Barrier package successfully installed, configured and running.
It is sooooooooo good to get rid of the multiple keyboards on my desk.
I think I have typed on the wrong keyboard a hundred times today.
Thank you and Mandian very much for your support.
