Using 11.1 Packman repos for 11.2 Milestone 4?

Hi All,

So far, 11.2 Milestone 4 is SWEET! However, how do I get the audio/video codecs for 11.1 to install under the 11.2 Milestone 4 release? Every time I click on them from the Packman site, it tells me there no version for my installation. Is there a temporary workaround? Thanks.

In the YaST software install tool, go to configuration > repositories and click on the add tab near the bottom. Select community and add the packman repo from the list.

And to think I’ve been doing it the hard way adding Packman and VLC manually! Too much using SLED11 lately.
Must agree though. From what I’ve played with 11.2M4, it’s great so far.

You da man! I’ll see if I can get this rolling soon. Outsanding.

Additionally in an unrelated development, I was able to compile the Nvidia 190.18 video driver so I can now process GPUGrid work units now. before on Suse 11.1 I was stuck with the 180.60 driver as the 185 and 190 series wouldn’t work properly.

Coolness!!

Thanks for your help.
