I am running kde 4.7 under OpenSUSE 11.4. I am new to KDE/OpenSUSE having migrated from Gnome2/Ubuntu about 4 weeks ago. When I first installed OpenSUSE it was running KDE 4.65 and then it was automatically upgraded to KDE 4.7 sometimes thereafter during a software update. I am unsure if this problem was present in KDE 4.65 or if this is related to the upgrade to 4.7.
I would appreciate any help that anybody can offer for fixing this.
[size=2]I resolved this issue on my installation. I was using the KDE:Release:47 repo in OpenSUSE and I discovered that several of the kde packages had been installed from another repo. I have no idea why this occurred and I don’t remember what the name of the other repo was. So, I removed the other repo and I changed the repo management so that the KDE:Release:47 repo is used for all kde 4.7 packages and then updated all of the packages. Subsequently, phonon started working.
