In this newly installed openSuSE v11.1 system, I find that: 1) I cannot play CDs --when I insert a disk, the expected window for selecting the application that I expect to open it never appears. Even if the application is open before I insert the CD, and if I choose "Play" in its menu, nothing happens. (OpenSuSE v10.3 is still installed in a separate HD in the box; there the app selection box does opwn. and the CD does play.) 2) In viewing the CNN website, when I check on a page that contains a video clip, the clip never loads. Nothing else on the page works either -- thumbnails do not appear, and links although they are selected. All the proper JavaScript are permitted, and cookies are permitted. (In the 10.3 installation, all this works.) 3) When I insert a DVD, a small box appears, containing the name of the film and nothing more, then disappears after about two seconds. Tne application selection window does not appear. Yesterday I did see a website (joost.com) with film clips that I was able to see, but there too there was no sound. (Firefox has many plugins -- Mplayer, Windows Media, Quicktime, Real Player, DivX, and GCJ.) I suppose I have yet to do some configuration tasks to remedy the problems, but I do not see an obvious place to start. -- Stan Goodman Qiryat Tiv'on Israel -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
