[opensuse-gnome] Why won't vlc install in oS with Gnome?
I simply cannot install vlc in 11.4 with gnome - but it installs, and behaves, perfectly in 11.4 with KDE. I have used the "1-click install" in Packman and also downloaded vlc from videolan - and both are supposed to install in oS 11.4. However, when installing the rpm from videolan I get the error message: nothing provides libvlccore.so.4 needed by vlc-1.1.9-1.pm.2.4.i586 and the one from packman comes up with the error message: nothing provides libvlc-backend-vlc-0.3.2-1.pm.2.2.i586 Anybody know the story on how to get vlc installed and working under gnome in openSUSE 11.4, please? (Frustration plus......... :-( .)

You're not installing the version from videolan (mind the .pm in the release!) The the version from VideoLAN and be happy user of it. Dominique -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help@opensuse.org

Many Thanks for this. vlc now working :-) .

Oy, it's not all gone yet :-) . Now all I have to do is to figure out why the sound in vlc stutters when watching TV (using a dvb card) but works perfectly in xine (and works OK in vlc in KDE).

OK, solved this sound problem - in the usual way <sigh> by getting rid of that curse on sound called pulseaudio. In openSUSE pulseaudio and alsa are inseparable in that you cannot remove pulseaudio because alsa depends on pulseaudio for some unknown reason unlike other distros (wot a marriage of workable with unworkable! :'( .) However, in YaST2's Audio settings you can (in "Other" options, bottom right corner) for the sound card deselect "pulseaudio" - and this did the trick. You will lose the volume control icon on the top bar but who cares as long as the sound works correctly in vlc. "Pulseaudio is a bug, a cockroach, someone please stomp on it!"

I haven't done so because I installed 11.4 KDE on my wife's computer 3 days ago and have spent many hours since trying to figure out how to get sound to work on her system :-( . She's on that computer for most of the day so I have to slot my "fixit" endeavours into those periods when she is doing something else (and then I get hassled, "How long *are* you going to be?!") :-) .
