Think I have everything needed installed, even the libdvdcss and codecs but still my DVD rom will not play. It still complaints with: This version of Xine (used by Kaffeine) has only a reduced set of supported codecs. It is not able to play DVDs. Please read http://support.novell.com/cgi-bin/search/searchtid.cgi?/en/2003/09/xine_dvd.... for further details. I am running 9.3 with KDE. Have read the not very informative info from Novell and have read close to one hour on Google for a solution. Is there somewhere a complete set of rpm's for Kaffeine available?

Or since (based on another post you've made) you're using Synaptic and apt4suse, you can install the bit you need from there... the Packman packages are avail there too. I don't know the whole Xine/Kaffine thing... not my cuppa. I prefer MPlayer. That plus the Mplayer codec pack (both installed using apt4suse) and all my DVDs play just fine. :-) C.
From the packman site below, you will need to install: libxine1 kaffeine libxine1 will replace the xine-lib package on your system. You will also need libdvdread and libdvdnav if you want the dvd menus to work. You will also need libdvdcss if you want to play encrypted dvd's. http://developers.videolan.org/libdvdcss/ You may need to compile it yourself, or google for it to find the rpm package. For legal reasons I don't believe the packman site has this one. There is a way to setup the packman site as a yast source so that you can just install these packages with yast. Go to Yast->Change Source of Installation, and add a http source. The server name is packman.iu-bremen.de and the directory on the server is suse/9.3. Then you can use Yast->Install and Remove Software to install these packages. Hope that helps. On Friday 08 July 2005 09:50 am, Clayton wrote:

Like the Yast way but ran in trouble. I get the message: Unable to create installation source Details ERROR(InstSrc:E_no_instsrc_on_media) try again Have no idea what this error tries to tell me.

Try again but make sure you don't add a / after the .de and don't put one before the suse just as David had above. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998 "The day Microsoft makes something that doesn't suck is probably the day they start making vacuum cleaners." -Ernst Jan Plugge
Hello list, I have a question regarding a kernel conflict. Since I updated my kernel in yast I get a warning message in the system part of it, that says: kernel-default 2.6.8-24 conflict Required by: kernel-default-nongpl requires kernel-default = 2.6.8-24 Conflict resolution: Downrgade kernel-default-2.6.8-24.16 to Version 2.6.8-24 Remove the Refering Package Delete kernel-default-nongpl Ignore Conflict and Risk System Inconsistencies I have been running fine since the update. Is there any reason to downgrade to please the system or should I just go on with the conflict? I assume this will be resolved in a new update soon? Or am I completly misunderstanding things? If anyone wants to explain this to me, I'd just like to add that I am very new to the Linux world. cheers, Mikael

I would start YOU up again and re-install the kernel update and make sure the nongpl part is upgraded as well. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998 "The day Microsoft makes something that doesn't suck is probably the day they start making vacuum cleaners." -Ernst Jan Plugge
Hello, I did a reinstall of the two packages YOU allowed me to fiddle with. Nothing changed after that really. Is there some way to force reinstalls of the rest of the kernel? Most of the libraries were just greyed out boxes. But I could clarify my previous statement. The conflict appears when I go and look under the system update option in YAST. It does not complain about it when I choose Online Update. I know to little to decide if this is an issue or not. Any insights into further actions? Mikael Ken Schneider wrote:

I have in the past re-installed the package from the install media to force an update with YOU. Make sure the kernel and the nongpl part of the kernel are installed from the install media (kernel sources as well if installed) and re-run YOU to force the update. That should fix it although it should not have happened in the first place. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998 "The day Microsoft makes something that doesn't suck is probably the day they start making vacuum cleaners." -Ernst Jan Plugge

Dear Clayton, After a lot of work at Kaffeine without the hoped success, I remembered your last sentence in which you mentioned Mplayer. Had Mplayer in the 7 and 8 versions and know it played well. (Had no DVD then ;-)) Installed Mplayer, had to remove a not yet functioning Kaffeine and started Mplayer. Do not know why but it does not see the /dev/dvd nor anything useful in the /media. Do not know where and how to start. Could you or somebody else give me the start help?

Try installing the SuSE Multimedia Option Pack 1 through 4. You can get them for 9.3 from via YOU. The dvd then worked for me at least with kaffeine. Steve.
