OpenSuSE - Selected Packages and Dependencies (amd64)

Hi everyone

I decided to compile and archive with multimedia packages as there was a request for the same. I hadn’t done so before as I thought there would not be any demand (and I think there still isn’t), anyway, for the sake of completion.

I have changed my approach a little when compared to previous compilations. This is a part of my ongoing effort to try and improve the ease of installation.

  • This time I installed test systems using KDE live and GNOME live CDs.This ensures that users who install from live CDs are not left out,unlike previous releases of mine where having the Open SuSE DVD was a prerequisite.
  • Another change I have implemented is incorporating libxine (for KDE) and gstreamer plugins (for GNOME).

Packages:

  • kchmviewer

  • a program to view CHM files

    • mplayer
  • a multimedia player

    • mplayer-plugin
  • firefox plugin for mplayer

    • audacious
  • a winamp look-alike

    • k3b
  • CD/DVD writing

    • k3b-codecs
  • multimedia plugins for K3b

    • k3b-lang
  • K3b language pack

    • sox

    • devede

  • DVD authoring

    • audacity
  • A sound file editor

    • avidemux
  • A demuxer, similar to VirtualDub

    • ffmpeg
  • CLI video encoding tool

    • transcode
  • CLI video encoding tool

    • ntfs-config
  • mount ntfs partitions easily

    • vlc
  • a multimedia player

    • libdvdcss
  • dvd decryption

    • w32
  • win 32 codecs for mplayer and kaffeine

    • libxine
      (KDE users only) - xine (unrestricted) for kaffeine

    • gstreamer010-plugins-moodbar
      (GNOME users only) - plugins for totem

    • gstreamer-0_10-plugins-ugly-lang
      (GNOME users only) - plugins for totem

    • gstreamer-0_10-plugins-ugly
      (GNOME users only) - plugins for totem

Download the archive SuSE_11.0_amd64.zip from here

Mirror 1: Rapidshare

Mirror 2: FTP Download

Extract the archive to a folder called August2008 in your home folder.

Note: KDE4 ark seems to have some issues??? The Extract function of the gui in Ark does not seem to work, at least for me. You can work around this by clicking on the archive to open it in a window, press Ctrl and A on your keyboard to select all the rpms, minimise this window, open your home folder, create the August2008 folder, and paste the contents into it; then it works fine.

Steps:

  1. Press Alt and F2 and type the following
    if you are a KDE user

  1. GNOME users click Software->Software repositories

    KDE users click Software management
    http://img410.imageshack.us/img410/1827/s3hl1.th.png](http://img410.imageshack.us/my.php?image=s3hl1.png)

  2. Click Finish when youŕe done
    http://img385.imageshack.us/img385/9140/g8iq7.th.png](http://img385.imageshack.us/my.php?image=g8iq7.png) http://img410.imageshack.us/img410/4420/s7pd5.th.png](http://img410.imageshack.us/my.php?image=s7pd5.png)

  2. In GNOME type the package name in the filters box and see the package automatically come up as you type.
    http://img57.imageshack.us/img57/2594/g10dx3.th.png](http://img57.imageshack.us/my.php?image=g10dx3.png)
    Select the package and click install. Repeat this step with all the packages listed above till you have finished all, then click Apply in that window.

KDE users - type the name of package you are looking for in the search box and click search
http://img516.imageshack.us/img516/217/s9hm8.th.png](http://img516.imageshack.us/my.php?image=s9hm8.png) http://img517.imageshack.us/img517/1050/s10ov0.th.png](http://img517.imageshack.us/my.php?image=s10ov0.png) http://img116.imageshack.us/img116/9500/s11fk5.th.png](http://img116.imageshack.us/my.php?image=s11fk5.png)
When you find the package you want check it. The dependencies will automatically get selected.
Do this till you cover all the above packages. Click Apply

any new updates? :stuck_out_tongue:

Do these contain any of the older version of transcode? As far as I know the newest version of transcode (1.1.0-0.pm.2) won’t work with K3b to rip DVD’s.

Sorry for the late reply. Well I really do not know as I haven’t tried this.

so, any updates?

Hopefully in a week’s time, definitely by May 1st. Have been extremely busy of late, moving house. My main system where I do this work was offline.
