1-Click-Install for Codecs in openSUSE 11.0 RC1
May 30, 2008 around 5am (openSUSE)With the exams (and University!) having come to an end, I managed to create an updated version of the 1-click-installation for codecs in the latest openSUSE 11.0 RC1. This will be at the exact same place at the old link, as 1-click-install gives you the possibility for different preferences for different distributions. So here are the links:
This will install things like DVD and MP3 support, Win32 codecs, flash and java (if you installed from the live CD), unrestricted xine codecs (for DiVX etc.), as well as the latest Amarok and K3b codecs (for the KDE ymp).
You can also optionally install things like Dragon Player, VLC and Opera by hitting the “Customise” button when the 1-click-installer starts up.
As always, if you have problems or suggestions on what to include in the YMP, please do let me know!
Command-Not-Found
Another thing I recommend trying out is Command-not-found (for 11.0: 1-click-install), which is very handy for general usage in the shell. Demonstration of what it does:
The program ‘dragon’ can be found in the following package(s):
* dragonplayer (/usr/bin/dragon)
Try: sudo zypper install dragonplayer
bash: dragon: command not found
20:52 francis:~> amarokk
Did you mean: ‘amarok’ ?
bash: amarokk: command not found
20:52 francis:~> ifconfig
Program ‘ifconfig’ is present in package ‘net-tools’, which is installed on your system.
Full path leading to ‘ifconfig’ is ‘/sbin/ifconfig’.
Please check your $PATH or maybe program ‘ifconfig’ is intended to be run only by root.
bash: ifconfig: command not found
After you’ve installed it, see the /usr/share/doc/packages/command-not-found/README file for how to enable it by default.
Obligatory Screenshots of 11.0
Though I’ve been running KDE 4 for a few months, it’s great to see it even more polished and working more nicely in the latest RC. With the import of the new artwork, everything looks and feels really wonderful:
Cyberorg also just mentioned on IRC that openSUSE has gone to no. 1 on distrowatch for the last week — great news!

Be aware of one bug: command-not-found doesn’t behave nicely inside Midnight Commander. I have to figure it out and fix it
Hi Francis, thanks for the codec installer update, very useful
I’ll also try out that cmd not found thingie, looks fun (for a while?)
I used your one click installer, but I don’t see a shortcut in the Kmenu for the VLC player……
It also doesn’t work on PPC.
The following packages could not be installed
amarok-packman
ffmpeg
flash-player
java-1_5_0-sun-plugin
k3b-codecs
libdvdcss
libxine1
mplayer
w32codecs-all
I knew that flash and codecs wouldn’t work, but the rest should have. Unless your script only points to i386 or x86-64 builds. If so, please update this page to reflect that. Thanx
THX for codecs. Codecs 0.K
Thx for the codecs. Worked fine in my openSUSE 11.0 w/kde4
However, couldn’t install command-not-found. One of the three packages wouldn’t install and I got this message:
The following packages could not be installedScout
Any clues what’s missing?
Thanks
Paul
So many thanks for the codecs. Extremly easy to install
