I spent a miserable few hours over the weekend trying to get an 11.2 box play multimedia. After I realized why I couldn't play anything I discovered http://opensuse-community.org/Restricted_formats/11.2 and clicked on the "codecs-gnome.ymp" link. After that some things started working but others didn't, so I looked at the troubleshooting section. I removed totem with no problem but when I asked it to remove gstreamer it removed lots of things including openoffice and evolution for example before I aborted it. I reenabled the other repositories and appear to have successfully reinstalled the things it deleted but of course my multimedia still doesn't work. When I have just packman and libdvdcss enabled, I can see that there are upgrades available for gstreamer but when I try to apply them, many won't because of broken dependencies on packages that I guess are in the standard repositories. But if I reenable the standard repositories, it no longer offers me the upgrades. Is there some way to tell YaST to do the upgrades? Thanks, Dave PS I wanted to add a note to the troubleshooting section of http://opensuse-community.org/Restricted_formats/11.2 warning about the possibility of damaging your system by following those instructions. But apparently I can't do that without creating yet another online persona - my novell persona soesn't seem to be good enough for example. Is there some way around that? I'm no longer willing to create new identities for every website I visit. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
