Community docs in SUSE Linux
by Alexey Eremenko 24 Apr '06

24 Apr '06

Hi all ! I am a SUSE Linux community member - and I would like to discuss the possibility of including more documentation in SUSE Linux - and - what most important install those docs by default. Two important things to add: 1) Some "Advanced Installation" topics - this is already exists in openSUSE wiki. 2) "For Windows Users" - this should describe how to work with SUSE Linux - the KDE desktop, installation of MP3 and other codecs - and where to find community help - such as Freenode IRC & Forums. All other Desktop OSes have this section - on Mac OS X & on each Windows there is a section for previous generation Windows users. SUSE Linux lacks here. maybe also add a few Free Linux books as optional rpms - such as "rute" and "maximum RPM". What do you think ?

yast 2 doc
by jdd 12 Apr '06

12 Apr '06

I don't see mails here, I wonder if I'm subscribed :-) If you read this, I am :-) I'm on the way of writing a course about server admin at a low level (level of the course users :-), in french, sorry, look at the fr.opensuse recent pages :-) I come to the page about mail and postfix. I made this last year with suse 9.0 and could hack the main and master.cf files to make my server work (I use it now, so it works :-). but now I adapt this to 10.0 and have two differences. * the computer I setup is not the gateway and as my actual gateway is strongly used, I must make the shift very short, so all must be ready first * Yast seems to have evolved in the good direction. So I didn't use yast, may be I could now. But I don't find any relevant doc. (yast2, mail agent). I simply don't understand the way yast works on this module. it probably lack very few things. I'm ready to share my experience, even document the thing, but I need a starting point. do you have any doc on this topic (very close to yast way of life, doc about postfix I have ton's of them :-) thanks jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://dodin.org/galerie_photo_web/expo/index.html http://lucien.dodin.net http://fr.susewiki.org/index.php?title=Gérer_ses_photos

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
