[opensuse-factory] 11.2m4 live installer does not ask for root password
by Rolf Offermanns 02 Aug '09

02 Aug '09

Hi All, I just did a fresh 11.2m4 install inside VirtualBox using the KDE4 Live CD and I was not asked for a root password. Since I was not 100% focused on the installation I repeated it in a second VM. Same result. Am I missing something? Do the Live CDs have a default password? I tried "root", "linux", <empty> without success...

[opensuse-factory] Making restricted codecs installation easier for 11.2
by Atri 01 Aug '09

It will be really nice if 11.2 implements an easier way of installing restricted multimedia codecs than that exists currently. The current way of doing it via one-click installation is somewhat more complicated than ubuntu's codec installer. In my opinion, the entire process could easily be done via a script that runs a terminal showing a warning about the usage of restricted codecs requiring user-interaction, then calls zypper to add the Packman repo and installs/updates the required multimedia packages from that repo. Of course there may exist several better ways than what I suggest, but it would be worthwhile to explore methods of installing codec support that make it much easier for a complete newcomer. In any case this is probably one of the first things a home user does, so the ease with which it can be done does influence his/her opinion about the distribution somewhat. -- Atri -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org
