Summary        : HEIF/AVIF file format decoder and encoder 
Description    :  
    libheif is an ISO/IEC 23008-12:2017 HEIF and AVIF (AV1 Image File Format) file 
    format decoder and encoder. 

    HEIF and AVIF are new image file formats employing HEVC (H.265) or AV1 image 
    coding, respectively, for the best compression ratios currently possible. 

    For AVIF libaom, dav1d, or rav1e are used as codecs. HEIF support is not 
    provided.

So I must install all the packages (discord, libavcodec, libheif, vlc, etc) manually ?

Is there a command to replace all system packages with those from the Packman Repository, like in the YaST2 GUI ?

Nope.

Sure! Use zypper dup --from … https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/540572-Installing-Packman-Codecs

@karl, I did this command, but when I check if all the packages from Packman are installed, I see they’re not :

Why doesn’t this command install all the packages that are listed in YaST2, in View/Repositories/Packman Repository? I can’t replace system packages with Packman ones from YaST2 because it crashes when I commit, and the command doesn’t replace them either and doesn’t add the ones that are checked in YaST2 like libheif :frowning:

Hi

@karlmistelberger: I like how you set up your repositories. I’ve set mine up as follows, plus I had to lock the conky packages from packman, only because they will update almost daily if I don’t. Does this look correct to you?

You’re welcome!

Thanks for the link, I’ve been thinking about changing the default columns, now I know how easy it is. For some reason, conky is rebuilt regularly on packman. Check out the current version numbers:


> sudo zypper se -sx conky.x86_64
Loading repository data...
Reading installed packages...

S  | Name  | Type    | Version      | Arch   | Repository
---+-------+---------+--------------+--------+----------------------
vl | conky | package | 1.12.2-8.186 | x86_64 | packman
i+ | conky | package | 1.12.2-1.9   | x86_64 | Main Repository (OSS)

That 186 tag changes way too often. Without those locks, using --allow-vendor-change switches them to packman since it has a higher priority than the openSUSE repositories. The other driver locks are just to keep those AMD drivers off my system, I don’t need them, and one of them caused an update issue a few months ago, so I just removed and locked them to avoid future problems.

Regards,

Gene

It’s a simple language package for pipewire it doesn’t care in 90% of the cases. So you can do whatever you want, I have removed it.
