Multimedia pack information wrong?
by Siegbert Baude 12 Oct '05

12 Oct '05

Hi, on http://www.opensuse.org/Restricted_Formats is written: "However, if you would like to play MP3s on SUSE, you can install a Multimedia Pack from the YaST Online Update Servers." Is this still valid for 10.0? On the opensuse@-list I just read: "One is to install Realplayer and the helix-plugins for amarok and gstreamer. Another one is to install libmad and mad, or just everything from packman, what plays multimedia." Links to external repositories are not allowed, so would it be o.k. to change the text to: "However, if you would like to play MP3s on SUSE, you can install Realplayer and the helix-plugins for amarok and gstreamer. Another possibility would be to use external software repositories as long as you comply with your local laws. They are able to provide you with unrestricted 'mad' and 'libmad' packages, which allow MP3-playback." As I have not upgraded to 10.0 yet, I can't check it myself, but which additional yast-source (official SUSE ones) must I add to get Realplayer and the helix-plugins, if I start with the OSS- or Eval-version? This should then also be noted on the above page with a link to the relevant section in the installation doc. Ciao Siegbert

Hello, I wait for the french wiki being available to write there my french "admin linux baby" course (to be adapted from 9.0). I may have a little set of data files to upload, like pdf or zip files for big docs, or some works. no executable, of course. this is not usually possible on a wiki. it should be usefull to provide us a ftp repository for such thing. but is this list for SUSE LINUX 10.0 internal doc aor for any kind of doc related to it? thanks jdd -- pour m'écrire, aller sur: http://www.dodin.net http://valerie.dodin.net http://arvamip.free.fr

I just created http://www.opensuse.org/Errata_in_the_SUSE_Linux_10.0_Documentation - it is considered to be a replacement for previous SDB or portal errata pages.
