The SRPM file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the SRPM files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the SRPM file on each system platform.
What is SRPM file?
The SRPM file has been categorized as Data Files. It was designed by Various Linux developers. Data Files consists of 1326 similar files. Linux Source RPM Package appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file. The file will work on Linux systems, unfortunately not on others. The Linux operating systems application is recommended to open the file. It was released by Various Linux developers.
How to open SRPM file?
The main problem with Linux Source RPM Package is that the SRPM file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file SRPM to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the SRPM file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install Linux operating systems
The first step is to check if the computer has the Linux operating systems program installed. This can be achieved by typing Linux operating systems into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open SRPM files.
Programs to open SRPM file
Remember to download programs supporting SRPM files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Linux operating systems with SRPM files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the SRPM file to open in the Linux operating systems application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the SRPM file with the Linux operating systems application.
Step 3. Update Linux operating systems to the latest version
If, however, after binding Linux operating systems with Linux Source RPM Package there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Various Linux developers website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SRPM file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The SRPM file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the SRPM file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our SRPM file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover SRPM files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of SRPM file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair SRPM file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Various Linux developers
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file SRPM except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move SRPM to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the SRPM file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the SRPM file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
