Well Peter;
I am compTIA Linux+ Certified Retired Professional. Started with Xenix
way back in 1980s. I sure do like the way Linux has gone instead of
dealing with Xenix and SCO. Been using SuSE since you paid for it.
#1 not being set keep k3b, amarok and vlc (ones I play with) not to work
before recent issues.
#2 caused the sound not to work by Setup autoconfig during a setup load
so it decided to assign dummy instead of snd-hda-intel ( fixed that one ).
#3 until recent Packman software I used to have to download and compile
the same things Packman has now. Which is kind of strange. If legal
reasons are for openSuSE not able to supply mp3 libxine-codecs and
phonon-backend-xine then how does Packman supply it? it is easier that way.
4. that used to be the only way to get Amarok to work. Now xine-ui will
compile but xine-lib kind of doesn't like to.
I believe I will discontinue this thread. Don't need to get Amarok
upset. Contact me direct if you need to.
