Description Holly Mennie 2006-02-15 21:04:39 UTC

During my installation of SuSE 10.1, it only asked to install things from CDs 1-3, as oppose to all 5, despite there being 5 CD ISOs up for download.

As a result of this, I believe certain nessecary packages were not installed because when I attempt to install various multimedia things, such as Xine Player or Kaffiene's Mozilla plugin, I am thrown dependancy issues that I didn't enocunter in SuSE 10.0.

Is there any way I can make the packages from the last two CDs install or something I have to do during a re-installation so this won't happen again?

Thanks

Only being CD 1-3 required for a standard GNOME or KDE desktop is a feature and mentioned in the release annoucement.

>  I am thrown dependancy issues

Details?

Holly: We need more information. It is normal that CDs will not be asked for if there is no package on these CDs which shall be installed. So, if YaST really did not install all packages, it will give you a list about them. What happened after CD3, did you receive an error? Packages are so distributed on the CDs that the less important/less used packages are on the last CDs.

Okay, sorry for the slow response time.

Anyway, the problem was that not everything was installed because of user error, as we didn't make it install all packages the first time. So we reinstalled and put everything on.

Now, this elminated most of the dependancy issues. Here is a list programs/packages I tried to install last time and again this time, the installs that didn't work this time are noted:
- MPlayer (will not install)
- MPlayer Plugin for Mozilla/Netscape (will not install)
- Kaffeine (updated it)
- Xine (updated it)
- Real Player
- Flash
- Acrobat Reader
- Win32 Codecs (don't work, see below)

So, MPlayer won't install. The screenshot incluced shows the message I get when I try to install it and its plugin.

Now, despite having the Win32 Codecs installed, I still cannot play any video or sound files that use said codecs. It's like it ignored what I installed. So I can't figure that out. It _should_ work, as it all works fine on my own personal machine that uses Suse 10.0.

I hope that's detailed enough, sorry again for lateness.

that is because the packages are build for 10.0 and not 10.1. directfb is a newer version on 10.1, but mplayer wants the 10.0 version. You can wait until a 10.1 source is there, or try recompile mplayer. Same for all other packages from external sources which are not compiled for 10.1.
