I was happy with my 11.0 version of SuSE. After the update to 11.1 SuSE deleted all my multimedia programs: mplayer, VLC, Reaplayer, all codecs and XMMS. Even the virtualbox.
Anybody with similar problems, I hate to reinstall everything.
Simply add packman to your repository list (with OSS, Non-OSS and Update). There is guidance here for that. Repositories/11.1 - openSUSE-Community ONLY add packman, oss, non-oss, and update. No others. None. (You can add others ONLY when you understand the risks, and how to fix any problems that may arise).
Once those are setup, go to YaST > Software > Software Management and select the apps you wish to install. Its very easy and simple to do.
Thanks oldcpu.
I’ll try that, the other problem I have is Yast2 crash every time when runs to add programs or load the repos, I saw other post in the forum with same problems with version 11.1
Even in root, yast2 crash also.
Big mistake to upgrade man. I’ll continue around here for possible solutions.
How did you upgrade? A clean install? Or did you chose the “update” option?
I have 11.1 running on two PCs. I did a clean install. No crashes. It works great.
Well I click on update. Then I got a message saying following changes made to the system, I did check all of them, then after the update all multimedia programs gone. Other problems that I resolved were: compiz and sound.
I reinstalled compiz, but now emerald is not working all window frames gone.
I guess clean option is not a problem, but update may be causing conflicts with old and new programs.
I’m using KDE 3.5.10 release 21.11
I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve recommended users do a clean install.
Having said that, everytime I do, someone with a completely different configuration will chime in and state an “update” worked for them and has always worked for them.
And thats fine, but IMHO if you are seeing these problems, and myself and others that I know who did clean installs are not, then you should do a clean install.
