Hi! I just bought laptop with SLED preinstalled. I have some linux experience, but never used SUSE or OpenSUSE. Although most of the system works very well, multimedia does not. How can I install SMplayer along with proprietary codecs? ---

Hi You need to add the SLE packman repository; [http://pmbs.links2linux.org/download/Essentials/SLE-11-SP2/](http://pmbs.links2linux.org/download/Essentials/SLE-11-SP2/) – Cheers Malcolm °¿° (Linux Counter #276890) openSUSE 12.2 (x86\_64) Kernel 3.4.11-2.16-desktop up 1:15, 3 users, load average: 0.25, 0.08, 0.06 CPU Intel® i5 CPU M520@2.40GHz | GPU Intel® Ironlake Mobile ---

Thanks for this. I followed the directions and I was able to get the Packman for SLED 11-SP2. Upon installing VLC, I received the message “conflicts in the transaction must be solved manually … nothing provides libiso9660.so.5()(64bit) needed by vlc…” . I receive similar alerts pertaining to SM Player. I did notice that the package gave me the wrong version of vlc (2.0.1 instead of 1.1.13). Could that be why it won’t install? How do I get the earlier version? Sorry if my terminology is a bit off. I am completely new. Thanks! ---

Can’t help you wit the Packman stuff as personally I don’t touch that. You may want to take a look at [http://www.novell.com/communities/node/13146/additional-multimedia-codec-support-sled-11-sp1](http://www.novell.com/communities/node/13146/additional-multimedia-codec-support-sled-11-sp1) You’ll need to edit the build script so it doesn’t complain that you’re not using SP1, but other than that it should work. Maybe I should get around to sorting out an SP2 version of that Cool Solution. The process is exactly the same except for slightly newer versions of some packages can be used. ---
