i’ m just learning open suse most is pretty easy, but when i go into k3b cd/dvd burner it says not torun as root user, to open an account and configure k3b properly. which account is it refering to? and also it says it cant find mp3 decoder, to download mad mp3 decoder library and also k3b mad mp3 dedcoder plugin, i cant seem to find these files anywhere, isnt the mp3 decoder the sme as the one i downloaded for amrok and kaffien? any help would be appreciated, id like to learn the termenology and more about linux so i can contribute instead of just use. thank you
- yeldarbs1,
sounds like you are working as root. Root is the “Administrator” of the system and should never be used for everyday work.
During installation, you probably added a user account. Use that.
If you skipped the user account creation, open Yast, Security and Users, User and Group Management and add a user.
Uwe
Never run in the GUI as root!!!
Please do not see this as an unfriendly welcome. You are WELCOME here on the forums.
But logging in as root, specialy in the GUI is as dangerous as using Windows.
So arange first a normal user. Move all you userdata from the root home dirctory to your own home directory. Then start using openSUSE. When you encounter problems then, com back here for help.
(When not understanding alll of the making of a normal user as per buckesfeld’s advice, also report back here).
thank you it helps a lot
thank ypu this is helpful, i created a ne w user account and opened suse under that but how do i transfer all my info from root to my new account. thanks for the help. " a lost open suse user"
This is the difficult part, as allway when one tries to cure things that went wrong 
This must be done as root because root is now the owner of all those files. I suppose you are a KDE user. Then from the Kmenu (lower left green lizard) look for System > File manager > File manager in Superuser Mode (the precise wording depends on the language used, but you will recognize it. I use Konqueror as file manager and there you can split up the window into two, I do not know about Dolphin or what is the newest. Anyhow startt a second file manager if needed.
In one you navigate to /root/. In the other to your homedir /home/<username>/.
I think most of what you see is your personal data, so move it to the other one. Do not move everything that starts with a . (dot). You will probaly not see them because they re not always shown (depends on several things we will not go into now).
After moving root is still the owner. Can be done with the file manager, but I find it easier to start a terminal and do
su -
(root password asked for, type this, you will see nothing, that is OK, hit Return)
cd /home/<username>
chown -R <username>:users *
exit
Of course <username> must be replaced with whatever your username is.
Hope this helps. Come back again when in doubt (better ask that sorrow).
But I may be gone sleeping, then till tomorrow 
Hi! I believe I made the similar mistake. I reviewed several online forums but I was hard-headed! I did not listen. I hope someone will take pity on me and help me. I repent! I promise I won’t do it again!
I recently just installed the Open Suse 12.2 distribution to my computer. I followed all the instructions on this help forum.
The Perfect Desktop - OpenSUSE 12.2 (GNOME Desktop) | HowtoForge - Linux Howtos and Tutorials. Very helpful site. But I did not completely follow all their instructions. I thought it was easier to install programs from the terminal instead of the Default add-remove programs in Yast.
I installed a lot of programs and I have a list of it as su. When I opened K3b, I was greeted with the error on this page. Also, when I open Yast, I would also read this error.
An Error occurred during the repository initialization
[1] Valid metadata not found at specified URL(S)
History
- [1] Repository type can’t be determined.
When I try to install/remove programs from the terminal, I am greeted with this error message.
Retrieving repository ‘12.2’ metadata …[error]
Repository ‘12.2’ is invalid.
|] Valid metadata not found at specified URL(s)
Please check if the URIs defined for this repository are pointing to a valid repository.
Warning: Disabling repository ‘12.2’ because of the above error.
I think I really messed up my system. 
I definitely learned my lesson the hard way. Is it possible for me to recover from this big mess that I created? Please help. Thank you in advanced!

probably. is this error with the repo the only problem you have?
yes or no, please reply also with the output from
zypper lr -d
copy/paste the in/output back to this thread using the instructions
here: http://goo.gl/i3wnr
oh, and i have not read the perfect desktop guide you were following,
but if it did not tell you to run YaST Online Update right after
finishing the install, it should have.

Thank you for your help. I hope you are right.
I followed all the instructions from the install, updating YAST, adding repositories except I could not add the first one from Index of /distribution/12.2/repo/oss/suse for some reason. It kept telling me that I had more than one argument. After that, I then went into terminal and added programs. I deleted some programs that I thought I didn’t need but when I got to the point of upgrading to KDE to 4.7.2-2.1.2, the programs I deleted all came back. I was trying to follow their list of programs so I deleted some of the programs that were on my computer that was not on the list. I thought maybe I could save space.
Anyway, I thought I’d give you more details to understand my mess. Somehow, the system is not running to bad so maybe it is just a repo problem. Don’t know though.
I will follow your instructions.

You have a mess alright. You just installed and have 39 repos… you
need only 6.

well, a default install would have correctly added that oss repo to your
system without you doing anything…so, that forced me to look at that
guide…
and, before i tell you the bad news, let me first tell you that that
guide is NOT on an openSUSE.org server! and it is in no way officially
supported or recommended by any of the openSUSE Community around here…
AND, on the bottom of the page
http://www.howtoforge.com/the-perfect-desktop-opensuse-12.2-gnome-desktop-p3
i see, in a yellowish box the following:
“Please do not use the comment function to ask for help! If you need
help, please use our forum. http://www.howtoforge.com/forums
Comments will be published after administrator approval.”
now please note that that says if you have questions arise while using
that guide you should ask them at the Howtoforge.com forums…but, you
are at the openSUSE.org forums–and, we did not write that guide…
so, here is the bad news, on page:
http://www.howtoforge.com/the-perfect-desktop-opensuse-12.2-gnome-desktop-p3
in the instructions i see:
-In YaST, select Software Repositories
-Select Community Repositories and hit ENTER
-You will get a list of predefined online repositories. Select them
all to make sure your system can install all available OpenSUSE 12.2
packages if they are needed. Click on OK
and the bad news is this a absolutely 100% WRONG for a new user, and is
a pretty sure way to kill the system without even trying…
so, here is the BEST advice for how new openSUSE users should set up
there repositories: read the paragraph beginning with “IMPORTANT!” in
the post http://tinyurl.com/33qc9vu
i can’t tell you how to fix a system murdered by that guide, but i can
assure you the first step is to NOT use that guide–it is obviously
written by someone who doesn’t know nearly as much as they think they do.
> After
> that, I then went into terminal and added programs.
wow, that guide seems to try to install everything that is possible! it
has stuff i’ve never used with openSUSE (and, i’ve been here a while!!
years…)
> I deleted some
> programs that I thought I didn’t need but when I got to the point of
> upgrading to KDE to 4.7.2-2.1.2, the programs I deleted all came back.
first, if you don’t know for sure what to delete, then leave it
alone…of course you don’t know what you need or you would have never
followed that guide!
why not follow our guide–you will probably need to start over to do
it, do some reading first:
http://doc.opensuse.org/products/opensuse/openSUSE/opensuse-startup/
> Anyway, I thought I’d give you more details to understand my mess.
your mess was caused by a guide written by someone not here…ask
him/her to solve the problem it caused…or start over and use guides we
know are sound, and work.

you did th3 “zypper lr -d” right, but the how-to a perfect desktop guide

Hi, I also wanted to add. I’ve been getting notifications about a repository problem.
A signature trust relationship is not present
Signature verification for repository.opensuse.org-packages failed
What does that mean and is there a fix for this? I’ve really created a mess! Thank you for help in advanced!

Thanks all! I have learned my lesson – the absolutely painful and hard way. I have seen the light. Thank you all and I will follow all your advice. I should have came here in the first place. Oh well, at least, I learned that lesson - well!

any day we learn a valuable lesson is a good day…
read instructions carefully, follow them closely and if/when you have
problems PLEASE return here and ask before you try every way you can
think of to fix it…because, almost all of the things you learned to
do in other operating systems to install, setup and administer another
system might not work here…
