But, all this does raise the question of why are those NOT using KDE or Gnome DEs not catered for in the 1-click install facility? Yes, but:

"openSUSE 13.1 Multimedia Guide"
That blog has the manual steps, which again, are for KDE/Gnome, but the later is also for xfce/lxde, and you can easily edit out components specific for gnome.
Thank you Carlos but who ever goes to these fora? A person starts Firefox and sees the entry "openSUSE" under the URL box; Thinks, "Aha, there could be some documentation on how to have multimedia working" and clicks on the entry -- and Behold! there is shown "openSUSE Documentation"! The person is in raptures - until s/he finds that it is virtually impossible to see anything useful re multimedia except - when by accident, or in a drunken or enraged state - s/he stumbles across the words "opensuse-community.org" and then comes across http://opensuse-community.org/ where the 1-click install appears. Now, if you want to be really helpful to all those suffering souls who install openSUSE and then have to go thru hell to get their multimedia working why not add there all the hints about what to do when one is not using KDE or Gnome but one of the other DEs? :-) [pruned] BC -- Using openSUSE Tumbleweed, KDE 4.14.3, kernel 3.18.1-1 with a system- AMD FX 8-core 3.6/4.2GHz processor 16GB PC14900/1866MHz Quad Channel RAM Gigabyte AMD3+ m/board; Gigabyte nVidia GTX660 GPU -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
