[opensuse] can't play music from radio station; upgrade
Trying to play music with RealPlayer 10. Don't know whether that is the version of RealPlayer that came with SuSE 9.3, that I'm running. This is an option for the radio station--RealPlayer--at one time I had some kind of music come out of the speakers, but I don't know how I did it, but I did know that they could play. I don't seem to have amarok on the machine, and in any event, the radio station doesn't offer that option. (The radio station plays country music. It is KSEY, in Texas, and it works on a Windows machine in WinAmp and Nero, but when it drops out in Nero, you have to manually reset it; WinAmp resets itself. I don't know how to activate Amarok, which is supposed to be wonderful for Linux. The program says that the music is playing, but nothing comes out of the speakers. The system is not in mute mode. ************************************************************ I'd like to put version 11 on the machine, but I don't know how to preserve /home/doug/documents/ thru the new install. I really want the information in this directory to come thru whole. Presently have Reiser FS and have had no problem with it. I also cannot write to the CD that I installed from, so I can't write the directory to a CD. Please be patient with me. I'm an old man, who has spent most of his life doing hardware, not software. --doug Blessed are the peacemakers ... for they shall be shot at from both sides. --A.M.

Install amarok from packman, then change amarok engine to xine.

I keep the home folder on a different partition than the root partition. In this way all your setting (including application settings) are preserved. You could use rsync for example to backup your data to another PC or USB drive. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
