Great. Worked really well for me out of the box. Well this is what is needed to take linux to the masses.

from *packman.links2linux.org/?action=index

but not yet able to play mp3s with rhythmbox searching for gstrmr-mad/mp3 rpms...........

@prakash: Suse has Yum right, Do a
yum install apt-get
yum install synaptic
Configure the repositories, as to *dag.wieers.com/apt/
as they´ve got the Gstreamer pluggins. Then open synaptic and select them and install Hope that helped!

Maybe he wated to type ghoda....

no, it might be "THODA"

 

[mehulved]

yeah its thoda of course " thoda sa pyaar hua hain thoda hain baaki". Anyway coming to the topic can ne1 tell me how to install VLC in suse cos it gives me so many depedancies error?

 

[Satissh S]

@tech: Here is where YUM stands out. Once you configure it's repositories to either rpm.livna.org or freshrpms. It checks the dependencies by itself and installs them. It'd be easy.

 

[vignesh]

Install using yum..The best way

Hello.
Ths is my frst topic on the forum.
Plz cn ne 1 hlp me 2 knw 2 hw 2 instll sify BB sftwre on SuSE9.1. i hv the file (.tar) but dunno hw to use it. Also plz guide me in config. my Ip add. i hv D-link 538TX ethernet card. i m nt able 2 access internet frm SuSE.

 

[mehulved]

Is it atar or a tar.gz file.
If its only tar then u can unpack it using

tar -xvmf [package name]

and if it is a tar-gz file then use

tar -xzvf [package name]

U can refer to

man tar

for more options.

Once it is unpacked, go to the directory and just type

./configure

if it has a configure file.


If configure gives no errors then u can type

make
make install

Maybe he wated to type ghoda....

no, it might be "THODA"

I'm very sorry 4 my hindi.......
@adi87:
You can get checkinstall which will help u uninstall source packages like rpms or debs.....i wan2 saythat all source packages will not come with a "make uninstall" that way u feel tough to remove inidividual items if u want to....
