I can’t play any video files in any of the players, I didn’t find a codec for this version of Opensuse.
Install opi:
zypper in opi
Install the codecs:
opi codecs
Did you add the Packman repo and do the Vendor switch to it?
packman repo is not availible in community repo
To add the Packman repo:
zypper ar https://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/misc/packman/suse/openSUSE_Leap_$releasever/ packman
To switch to Packman:
zypper dup --from packman
(all as root of course)
Then try again your multi-media and post if it does not help.
opi codecs adds the Packman Repo, adds the codecs and switch to Packman.
Packman wants Downgrade some packages for installing codes, Is that safe?
Packman wants to Downgrade some packages for installing codecs, Is that safe?
Yes, thats correct and safe.
Thank you very much for guiding me very quickly and correctly, one of the most illiterate forums is the Ubuntu forum, where you end up having to find a solution to your problem yourself.
Packman wants to Downgrade some packages for installing codecs, Is that safe?
If you look to this, you will see, that this are the same Versions of packages, but only the Build is another.
So as hui has said:
It is safe.
Is it necessary to execute the command sudo zypper dup --from packman --allow-vendor-change after installing the codecs by OPI?
No, but do it and see…
Nothing to do… I have about 18 packages that are not updated normally, do I need to use dup to update them?
What do you mean by this? Please not so vague. Which packages? From where?
ffmpeg-4 gtk3-immodule-amharic gtk3-immodule-inuktitut gtk3-immodule-thai gtk3-immodule-tigrigna gtk3-immodule-vietnamese gtk3-lang libavcodec58_134 libavdevice58_13 libavfilter7_110 libavformat58_76
libavresample4_0 libavutil56_70 libgtk-3-0 libheif1 libpostproc55_9 libswresample3_9 libswscale5_9
Dependency resolution failed: the installed gtk3-branding-openSUSE-15.0-lp154.2.2.1.noarch requires 'libgtk-3-0 = 3.24.31', but this requirement cannot be provided
I see we do nothave your present repository list, so please
zypper lr -d
And you now gave a list, but how did you get that list? Please do not copy/paste only (part of) output, but whenever possible, complete: the line with the prompt and the command, all output and the line with the new prompt. Then everybody can see exact what you saw.
And to see where those 18 are from, let us check one of them:
zypper se -si ffmpeg-4
Also please post:
zypper up
Maybe you mean:
LANG=C zypper up
