K3b,libburn and mp3

Hi there!
I have a clean install of Leap 42.3.
When I run K3b, System Configuration Problems appears:


Unable to find cdrskin executable
K3b uses cdrskin in place of cdrecord.
*Solution*: Install the libburn package which contains cdrskin
MP3 Audio Decoder plugin not found.
K3b could not load or find the MP3 decoder plugin. This means that you will not be able to create Audio CDs from MP3 files. Many Linux distributions do not include MP3 support for legal reasons.

*Solution*: To enable MP3 support, please install the MAD MP3 decoding library as well as the K3b MAD MP3 decoder plugin (the latter may already be installed but not functional due to the missing libmad). Some distributions allow installation of MP3 support via an online update tool.

I tried to install libburn and libmad from Yast > Software Management, but I didn’t find them. ( I have PACKMAN, “http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/misc/packman/suse/openSUSE_Leap_42.3/”, as a Software Repository.)
However, I can play mp3 files by mean VLC.

Can somebody tell me where can I find those packages?

Thank you, in advance.

hmmm… There is a package called cdrskin, have you tried it?

You are right.
I installed cdrskin, and it resolved the first problem.

But “MP3 Audio Decoder plugin not found” is still present.

Thanks.

Ok. Is the k3b from packman repo?

K3b was intalled with Leap 42.3 installation.


adrian@asia:~> rpm -qa k3b
k3b-17.04.2-2.3.x86_64

Change the vendor to packman in YasT.

Multimedia problems must always first tackled by doing the “Vendor switch to Packman”. When that is not done, mot here will not even start to try to solve a multimedia problem.

To do the Vendor switch:
YaST > Software Management, then from the View menu choose Repositories. Then in the list of repos, select Packman. At right, above the list of Packages there is a line saying something like: Switch system packages to … Click on the underlined part and continue low-right.

Thank you, very much.
Changing k3b vendor to Packman resolved the problem.

Thank you, Moderator. I will follow your advice.

I’d just like to note that cdrskin is not necessary.
k3b can just as well use cdrecord, and in my tests even uses it when cdrskin is installed (i.e. cdrskin seems to be useless for k3b actually).

That message will be removed by an update (and is already removed in the Packman package), even upstream changed it recently to better reflect the reality.
