At first I used graphical Yast, later I tried Konsole with command I found on forum.

 sudo zypper dup --from "Packman Repository" --allow-vendor-change

What did I do wrong? Can you give me some advice, please?

hcvv · February 6, 2021, 4:40pm

I do not think you did anything wrong. Did the switch install packages or not?

larryr · February 6, 2021, 4:52pm

It shouldn’t matter. There are several packman mirrors. You are just using a different mirror. You should be seeing the same packages.

makradenk · February 6, 2021, 5:19pm

Yes, some. I can’t remember exactly.

IMHO, may be I caused problem with Game repos I added before. Now I both game repositories erased, but video does’t work. One more strange things exist. When I look to Yast, It looks like I didn’t switch package to packman version, no change there.

Some people prefer to use “opi” to install codecs:

zypper in opi
opi codecs

Or else, install these media players in flatpak format.

makradenk · February 6, 2021, 5:50pm

You are right, I tried removed my Packman repo, make update and added new one that larryr has. Than I switch again. Problem remains :’(

Packages which were added: http://pepa254.sweb.cz/obrazky/index.html

makradenk · February 6, 2021, 6:06pm

Well, it works! Idon’t know what I actually did, but it works. I used “opi”, 32 packages was installed. It is all.
Thank you all!

makradenk · February 7, 2021, 4:10pm

I quite wonder, why usual way of switching and using codecs from Packman repo didn’t work. What actually is “opi” and what it does another way that all codecs was installed than.

Only installed packages will do an vendor change.

If you need a codec with licences (h264 f.e) you have to install this codec expilizt because openSUSE does not have it in their repos:

zypper se -s h264
Loading repository data...
Reading installed packages...

Aha, than why I wasn’t able to change vendor by command ?

  sudo zypper dup --from "Packman Repository" --allow-vendor-change

I thought that it should be the same result?

Sauerland · February 7, 2021, 6:56pm

That will only switch installed packages.

If you need a not installed package, you must install them.

Thats what opi does, it has installed some special codecs by an script.

hcvv · February 7, 2021, 7:24pm

This is clear to me, but why isn’t that codec installed by default in the first place?

I use the switch mechanism after installation already for years. Never added something extra (either first from OSS before the switch, or after the switch direct from Packman). I never missed something with respect to multi-media. Always though that the basic installation has all (without the full functionality).

nrickert · February 7, 2021, 7:44pm

I think some of the codecs are pulled in via recommends. People who disable recommends may miss some of those codecs.

hcvv · February 7, 2021, 7:55pm

Could be an explanation.

makradenk · February 7, 2021, 11:12pm

OK guys. I don’t know anything special what could cause this. I tried allow nonfree codecs as usually, but…
Never mind, now everything is ok, thank you.

awerlang · February 8, 2021, 3:33am

Here’s what opi does: https://github.com/openSUSE/opi/blob/master/opi#L532-L572

It does a dup, then installs a set of codecs that seem to not be pulled by a default installation, even with recommends. I took the dup route and don’t have some of these additional codecs, but don’t recall experiencing codec problems. OP must be needing a very odd codec that’s being provided by one of these additional codecs installed by opi.

Recently updates from Packman repo have been failing, and http://packman.inode.at replies with error 403 - Forbidden.
I selected a different mirror from http://packman.links2linux.org/mirrors and it works.
I don’t know why the nicely-named Austrian mirror is disabled.
I was shocked by the small number of mirrors available, with none in the Americas.

makradenk · March 4, 2021, 6:13pm

The same experience, thanks for hint.
