Vlc is not on the Packman repository, it's on the videolan repository. If you go here: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-suse.html, it will tell you how to do it. DJO -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

No, vlc is in both places and iirc, you *must* not mix vlc packages between videolan and packman.
If you go here: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-suse.html, it will tell you how to do it.
and there are/were similar instructions on packman (but this may be history as I am long of tooth) and have both booster rockets engaged. -- Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://counter.li.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

You're right that vlc is in both places. However, the vlc beta is only on videolan, which is what I use. I've also heard about not mixing packages between videolan and packman and I haven't had a problem, there isn't anything mixed between the two repositories. Probably lucky as I haven't had to pay attention.

I'm sure they both have instructions on how to install their repository. The problem may occur if using a cli and zypper to install as the OP is. I use yast2 and it seems to not mix things.

This is old FUD: Please stop spreading it. There has been a lot of work between PM and VLC to sort those out and all cases of conflicts that were reported to the VLC repo maintainer (me) have been sorted out.

Tks for the info. Afa "FUD", not having seen an anouncement contrary and having experienced problems in the past, the warning *was* necessary. -- Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://counter.li.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Then also you can delete vlc factoid on IRC, that is telling the same as Patrick did, time and again. -- Regards, Rajko openSUSE Wiki Team: http://en.opensuse.org/Wiki_Team People of openSUSE: http://en.opensuse.org/People_of_openSUSE/About -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
