I’m new to here and to linux, having changed over about 2 weeks ago. I’ve had a lot of trouble installing a variety of software and am really starting to despair and regret changing over. I appreciate that it’s not the right way to go about things, but would be really grateful if anyone could help me out with a walkthrough for the installation processes of any of the following software on opensuse11.4 64-bit (I have tried everything I can to no avail):
Next time, please read first (from top to botom and from left to right) before you post. It is in your own interest that your question goes into the (sub)forum where people that know about you subject are looking. Asking in the wrong place would imho be a guarantee for no answers at all. I hope you undestand that.
Your sound drivers are included with the basic openSUSE installation. The sound driver is called the ‘alsa’ sound driver. openSUSE-11.4 also has a ‘layer’ between the alsa sound driver and one’s multimedia application called ‘pulse audio’ which provides control over directing the audio to different applications/devices and also control of volume on a per-application basis.
If you have any specific audio problems, please read our multimedia stickie and also post for help in our multimedia area.
iTunes ? Is that not the proprietary apple software ? There is no GNU/Linux version to the best of my knowledge. You could try gtkpod instead.
Take a look at my blog: Interfacing iPod Touch 3G to openSUSE-11.3 - Blogs - openSUSE Forums … yes it was for an iPod Touch 3G and not an iPhone nor an iPad, but you do not state what Apple hardware you need the iTunes app for and there may be something in there of interest.

skins, in the future please put each individual problem in its own
thread, with a descriptive title–because some of us look for (say)
posts with printer problems–which is not me, and who knows if any of
the printer gurus will want to look in on “Various software
problems”…see how that goes?

again THANKS for that…as you know it is the only way we can
participate with moved thread…
Apologies for causing problems. I realise that I would have benefited from looking into how to post properly etc. but I am growing enormously frustrated by this situation and really just want a way out.
Thanks for all your help so far and I hope we can eventually sort this out.
I’ve just followed the instructions at SDB:Skype - openSUSE again, as before. The install didn’t start automatically when the download finished so I used package installer. Skype appears to start normally, before promptly closing itself after about 3-5 seconds. When running it from terminal, I get the message:
(because i can’t help you more with this) for the Skype problem i’d
suggest you start a new thread with a descriptivesubject …
be sure and mention your operating system/version, 32/64 bit, and your
desktop environment and version…
and, the version/bit of the Skype downloaded as well as the error you
received…oh, and confirm you did follow the special instructions for
64 bit, if you installed that…
Did you previous try to install google-talk ? Because the error you noted previous has me puzzled.
Hmmm … I confess, I did not install skype the wiki guide way.
Try it instead the way I used to install skyp.
To do that, try these commands with root permissions and your pc connected to the internet:
rpm -e skype
zypper ar http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/Lord_LT/openSUSE_11.4/ skype1
# note there is a space between /openSUSE_11.4/ and skype1 in previous line
zypper in skype
zypper rr skype1
