[New: openFATE 312241] Some post-installation steps in welcome window
Feature added by: m s (miki100) Feature #312241, revision 1 Title: Some post-installation steps in welcome window openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: m s (miki100) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: I came up with a idea to add two simple steps to SUSEgreeter. These are installing NVIDIA proprietary drivers and multimedia codecs. I have even written it in C++ and libyui. This is my first serious C++ app, so don't blame me if it's crap ;) . My version of SUSEgreeter detects if nouveau drivers are in use and then proposes to install NVIDIA drivers (it downloads & runs http://opensuse-community.org/nvidia.ymp). The same with multimedia-it searches with zypper if any package with "codec" in name is installed, and if not it downloads one-click multimedia installer (it detects whether you are using KDE or not). Comments are really appreciated. We don't need to use my app, somebody can add it to original SUSEgreeter. You can download source here (http://www.mediafire.com/?d5fmf6w6bbrmmfm) and here (http://www.mediafire.com/?h6aonpva1bi6b28) is the compiled i586 rpm. And here is how it looks like: http://img.susepaste.org/56507867 (http://img.susepaste.org/56507867) . One last word: my version is SUSEGreeter (capital G), so it doesn't conflicts with the orginal. (BTW: If you deselect "Show this window at startup" and want to start it again, delete ~/.config/SUSEGreeter) Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: It can help new users to download & install NVIDIA drivers or multimedia codecs. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/312241
