Dear all,
I am making an experiment to see whether I will be able to completely ditch windows and use only openSUSE. I have managed so far to resolve some problems but I have some difficulties playing videos with mp4, avi and mpeg extensions. I have googled and came to the conclusion that those are not supported due to some patent issues. Therefore, one has to manage things by installing what is needed. So I did the following:
john@linux-f44g:~/.mozilla/firefox> sudo zypper ar http://download.videolan.org/pub/vlc/SuSE/13.2 VLC
Adding repository 'VLC' .......................................................................................................................[done]
Repository named 'VLC' already exists. Please use another alias.
john@linux-f44g:~/.mozilla/firefox> sudo zypper mr -r VLC
Autorefresh has been enabled for repository 'VLC'.
john@linux-f44g:~/.mozilla/firefox> sudo zypper in vlc

Problem: nothing provides libgcrypt.so.11()(64bit) needed by vlc-2.2.1-285.26.x86_64
Solution 1: do not install vlc-2.2.1-285.26.x86_64
Solution 2: break vlc-2.2.1-285.26.x86_64 by ignoring some of its dependencies
Choose from above solutions by number or cancel [1/2/c] (c): c
Now we come to the problematic point libgcrypt.so.11()(64bit) is missing. To install this I went to
http://rpmfind.net//linux/RPM/opensuse/updates/13.1/x86_64/libgcrypt11-1.5.4-2.4.1.x86_64.html
I nstalled something, however the library was still missing. Then I tried to look for this library via zipper
john@linux-f44g:~/.mozilla/firefox> sudo zypper search --installed-only | grep libgcrypt
i | libgcrypt20 | The GNU Crypto Library | package
i | libgcrypt20-32bit | The GNU Crypto Library | package
Do I have a conflict, because I have libcrypt20 or something else is wrong? In general, why such a simple thing, which takes 5 second on windows has to be so complicated? Come on guys, an os that can not play video, seriously :’(
I would appreciate your help.
