[opensuse-project] Easier installing multimedia codecs in openSUSE

The newest version of Ubuntu does make it simpler to work with proprietary multimedia formats. It includes a new guided wizard for automatically installing multimedia codecs/restricted formats not shipped with Ubuntu, which gives users a safe and easy way to experience proprietary music and videos It could be something like this in new openSUSE.What do you think? It's only my opinion:-) -- Táto správa bola vytvorená integrovaným poštovým klientom prehliadača Opera: http://www.opera.com/mail/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org

Same here. And same opinion has many users of openSUSE, but not the developers and project managers I think :/ KaiSVK On Sunday 22 April 2007 19:22, Krupanský Rastislav wrote:

I don't think the solution proposed by ubuntu can be accepted by Novell due to legal reasons. It's not even clear to me how ubuntu can do that without risks.

I think this would be nice, it would make it easier for people to switch over to openSUSE, but I also wonder how this could be pulled off without legal problems. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with SUSE - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFGK8DIvzjH9vp3ogsRAqerAKDfmAExY439gsieh3VpE99zrM7CnwCdE/GR fqty43fISE4RIH4nLhpGgLQ= =sUrK -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org

Is not this - konvenientSUSE (link below) - the answer for openSUSE (10.2)? So easy to use, have you tried it? Works very well for 32-bit, but not so good on my 64-bit pc ... And what risks are there? License issues? Could anyone explain this for me? http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=43378 Download and try it, if you haven't ;-) Best regards Leif

The problem is that it links to repository which contain potentially not legal software (codecs for example), and, as consequence, it can't be included in the distribution. You've to download it and install it by yourself.

I dont think konvenientSUSE.I know about it and i use it. But http://fosswire.com/2007/04/22/feisty-fawn-and-media-formats/ (what Francis Giannaros has sent) is exactly what i mean. Regards Rasto Dňa Sun, 22 Apr 2007 23:14:19 +0200 <leif@hjerpe.org> napísal(a):

For anyone wondering, http://fosswire.com/2007/04/22/feisty-fawn-and-media-formats/ has a good run-down of these new things. I've just checked very many sites and people keep talking about Ubuntu or Fedora being so very usable etc. Makes it doubly frustrating that we have semi-useless slogans in the running like 'Linux for open minds' which adds virtually nothing new. openSUSE being 'the most usable Linux' really means and tells something, and I really think quite a few people would try it on that grounding alone, even critics, to see if it meets up (I think it does). 'Linux for open minds'... yearh, erm, honestly, I just really can't see that helping us in any way.
