Hi All,
Neo here and I am new to openSUSE but not new to Linux.
I did a quick search on these forums and did find a thread that was related to this topic, but they did not have a solution.
I am hoping that by posting my details here someone will be able to help.
I have eight different distro’s installed on my machine.
My hardware is Nvidia 7900 GT OC, Intel Dual Core D950 3.4GHz Overclocked to 4.08GHz, 2Gb DDR 800 MHz RAM, and a 500Gb hdd.
I have recently installed openSUSE 11.2 on my machine.
I am currently experiencing two problems with openSUSE 11.2
The first problem is with respect to viewing on-line videos in full screen.
The videos are choppy while the sound is fine.
This problem is apparent with any Youtube video.
The second problem is with respect to on-line radio.
Nothing I have tried works.
I have even tried installing Amarok and Rhythem Box.
Some appear to be working but no sound, others simply flash a popup on the screen telling me that the download is complete but no music is played.
In all of my other Linux distro’s I use VLC, however I didn’t find it available in YaST.
I would greatly appreciate any help that you may provide me.
Thanks Caf4926,
I followed the instructions in your link and now have VLC working beautifully.
However the online video appears even worse now.
I have also enabled several repos related to KDE, OpenOffice, Main (contrib), etc.
I actually have duplicates for OSS, Non-OSS and Update.
When I installed the Nvidia driver I then ran a program it installed (Configure X11 System and/or Nvidia Configuration)to set it up. I say and/or because I remember that one of them did something while the other did nothing.
EDIT: I tried re running Nvidia Configuration and it told me that I don’t appear to be running the Nvidia Driver. It said to use a root terminal and to use the following command: “nvidia-xconfig”.
So I opened a root terminal and cut and pasted that command.
Here is the output:
nvidia-xconfig
If ‘nvidia-xconfig’ is not a typo you can use command-not-found to lookup the package that contains it, like this:
cnf nvidia-xconfig
I have noticed that in other distro’s, using FF 3.5.5 I don’t have this problem.
I am not in openSUSE right now so I can’t check which version of FF it is currently using.
VLC suddenly wasn’t working anymore.
Even though I told FF to always use VLC for on-line radio, somehow another program was now automatically being opened up to do this.
I say opened up instead of used because it did not work.
I had to enter the preferences section of FF and manually change over every audio section I could find to use VLC.
I wonder why it changed from VLC to something else to begin with?
If you prefer to use VLC you should uninstall Gecko and make sure the VLC Mozilla plugin is installed from Packman, then check that in the settings of mozilla.
