But, all this does raise the question of why are those NOT using KDE or Gnome DEs not catered for in the 1-click install facility?
Yes, but: https://forums.opensuse.org/ --> select multimedia https://forums.opensuse.org/forumdisplay.php/670-Multimedia --> click on the sticky (Multimedia the Easy Way) --> https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/452884-Multimedia-in-One-Click --> click on the "more complicated Multimedia Guide" link --> Seek for 13.1 instructions. --> https://forums.opensuse.org/entry.php/149-openSUSE-13-1-Multi-media-and-Rest... "openSUSE 13.1 Multimedia Guide" That blog has the manual steps, which again, are for KDE/Gnome, but the later is also for xfce/lxde, and you can easily edit out components specific for gnome.
openSUSE, no matter which DE is used with it, uses the RPM package manager. I notice that there is only a 0.4Kb difference between the RPMs for these 2 DEs - which I suspect would be solely due to the icons/widgets/whizzbangs (whoever came up with 'widgets' ought to be tested for IQ!) used in them.
So, the question: what do others who want to use the other available DEs in openSUSE need to do to get their multi-media working?
Thanks & have a nice day, Berny
