Hi
Should be libdvdcss2 from videolan? or does libdvdcss from packman
work…?

I just have a downloaded src rpm that I rebuilt from source and use
that;


wget
http://download.videolan.org/pub/libdvdcss/1.2.9/rpm/libdvdcss-1.2.9-1.src.rpm
rpmbuild --rebuild libdvdcss-1.2.9-1.src.rpm
sudo rpm -Uhv /usr/src/packages/RPMS/i586/libdvdcss2-1.2.9-1.i386.rpm

You have done this I take it:
YAST >> Security and Users >> User Management >> “select your user” >> Edit >> Details >> Groups >> check “cdrom” and “disk” and then click on “ACCEPT”.

Hi
Check out caf4926’s post first, else those commands are run from the
console/konsole (CLI).

sudo rpm -Uhv /usr/src/packages/RPMS/i586/libdvdcss2-1.2.9-1.i386.rpm
i have just tried this and on the rpmbuild it says user sam does not exit?

can the whole be copied into the Konsole Terminal Program?

Hi
Each command needs to be run as separate commands. Don’t worry about
the user not existing that is just the original packagers name, it all
changes to root user in the rebuild process.

Hi

Could you expand please - what is gcc?

Thanks

#16

Hi
It’s the system GNU C Compiler? Just add via install software or from a
CLI;


sudo zypper in gcc

error: open of /usr/src/packages/RPMS/i586/libdvdcss2-1.2.9-1.i386.rpm failed: No such file or directory

first

over pckman links libdvdcss2.rpm inkl. source
libdvdcss2-1.2.10-0.pm.0.nosrc.rpm

and ibdvdcss tar.bz2 from videolan org

after download put the fils in
/usr/src/packages/sources
( the source file )
/usr/src/packages/srpms
( the rpm file )
open the console as root
–rebuild libdvdcss2-1.2.10-0.pm.0.nosrc.rpm
you find the finished rpm under
/usr/src/packages/rpms
install it.
also install the VLC from the opensuse 11.1 DVD or the install repositorie.

ps after you can handle all type ov dvd’s
Show, copie usw…

.

Hi
In the final output (assuming it finished with no errors) from the
–rebuild command, whatever in the /usr/src/packages/RPMS directory for
your arch is what you need to install.

I have installed VLC from repositories.

The rest I will have to look at - I am new to all this and most of the above maybe above my head.

I will try and download the files later.

I did read that suse 11 and 11.1 should be able to play DVD and that there is a known bug? Would that be the problem?

I do not know how to open the console as root.

The DVD plays in the dual boot [vista].So the DVD player/writer is ok.

Thanks
