Open KDE Control Centre, go to Login and disable Automatic login

I dunno much about the GUI way but CLI way is

su
nano -w /etc/resolv.conf

Now type in your DNS servers here in following format

nameserver 202.88.130.15
nameserver 202.88.130.5

replace 202.88.130.15 and 202.88.130.5 with whatever you have.

rpm -ivh <path to file>
It's better to use package manager rather.

A) If its like 10.1 than the name server settings are in the Yast-->Network Cards-->Traditional method with ifup--->Address-->
Where you give the ip and subnet mask, below that you will see a hostname and nameserver button, click on that and enter it there

B) Otherwise,
1. Open a shell, by pressing alt and F2, and typing konsole or xterm and clicking ok.
2. Type su, press enter, feed your root password and press enter.
3. Then type at the prompt

vi /etc/resolv.conf

and press enter

4. Press the insert key once
and type the following if it isn't already there, otherwise simply go to the appropriate line with the arrow keys and edit

nameserver 125.22.47.125
nameserver 202.56.250.5

where the ip addresses are of your primary and secondary dns lookup addresses. I have used mine as an example here.

5. Then press the escape key once and type

:wq

and press enter

6. now type

service network restart

and press enter

7. press ctrl and D twice in succession to exit

@NucleusKore
Thank you Sir, Thanks a lot for your nice help....as I know you are dedicated Suse user.
Yes my problem solve with GUI way which you described.

@tech_your_future

Where is the KDE Control Center ?
I found Configure Desktop/Personal Settings, where System Administration--->Login Manger--->(After enabling Administrator Mode)--->Convenience

It display the Auto Login Disabled.

here is the screenshot

What I do now ? I want every time it ask me for user name and password and also give me the option like choosing desktop environment.....like a proper linux behaviour.

^^Here is how you do it. Go to yastmodules->security and users->user management->choose the user u want to disable autologin->expert options->login settings and disable autologin.

I don't know if you really went through till the last post. Even after installing the w32codec, mp3s and videos didn't work on my system either. You need to have all the xine libraries installed. Go to YaST and type xine in Software Management. Check all that shows up as xine. You also need your CDs/DVD handy, so keep it ready. Just install and you will be able to play your audio and video. Coming to the VLC part, I had to play around a bit with the repo link before it finally installed on my system. Since you have got the repo right and ON, go back to Software Management and type vlc. You should see the dependencies there. Check all of 'em and install. You might be interested with this site as well

Try installing GDM(gnome desktop manager) instead of most prolly installed kdm from Yast2 pkg manager.Also there is something like "switchdesk" command to set gnome2 default.U can check some file like
/etc/sysconfig/desktop to edit and replace kde to gnome.

If you are going to use gnome or gnome apps @ minimum,U should try getting gstreamer0.10 plugins.with VLC player,it seems weird,i cant help u directly coz not using susee linux.
but..you can try installing VLC player via CLI by downloading VLC player and using rpm -ivh foobar.rpm cmd.
It though shows the dependencies that needs to be sorted out and u may manually download and install

@phreak0utt
I tried to search the Yast Software Management XINE & VLC.....
In Xine some component are installed,when I try to install remaining those it pop up that it will conflict with other.

and when the VLC turn....it shows all components are need to install...and when tick them up....it pop up conflict warning...I ignore and continue...after some time it ain't install at all.


As this web link suggest here *en.opensuse.org/YaST_package_repository
I add the Packman,Guru,VLC VideoLan Client,suser-jengelh,Scorot,GnuCash
repository to my yast software source.

So,now my yast look like this
*img171.imageshack.us/img171/483/scr1uq7.png

and the software updater in the task bar stated 56 update available....
but when I update my system it says :-

Dependency Resolution Failed

What the wrong I did ?

hey, you have to install the xine and all the related stuff - they would be available on the DVD itself and should not be a problem, By the way what application you are using to play mp3 and dvds, in my system I am not able to use Totem Player - which was the default player.- to play anything - it says that no codecs are available, I use Kaffine for video and Amarok for mp3.

 

[NucleusKore]

Please note the difference between xine-lib and libxine. If you are confused, remove xine-lib and whatever comes off with it. The install libxine, kaffeine, and w32. Should work

At last.....I can enable all the multimedia stuff in Suse 10.2.

I Install all the package of VLC by force download....and VLC play all the Video/Audio.

Then I go to install 'g streamer010 ugly' and all it's plug in....[I remember the Ubuntu stuff]
Now I can play MP3 in Amarok/Helix player/Totem

divx movie can be played with Totem,Kafine.
Kafine can be able to play dvd.
Only totem can't play DVD-Video.
To enable full Multimedia stuff it takes near about 6-hours for a noob like me.

Why do you want an anti-virus for linux? You are just letting it suck up more of your disk space and memory. There is a thread as to why you don't need an anti-virus for your linux box. Search for that.
