1-Click Install for Codecs in 10.3
View original post
Since we now have the nice new 1-Click Install technology, over at openSUSE-Community.org we’re making full use of it. You can help test it right away. The Restricted_Formats/10.3 page is now up and it gives you the appropriate links to the YMPs that you can use for installation of all codecs and restricted formats.
Presuming that you are running openSUSE 10.3 Beta 3 (or newer), these links should work in Firefox, Konqueror and Galeon. Here they are:
codecs-kde.ympObligatory opening screenshot:
Note that you have the option of installing a lot more packages (kplayer, kmplayer, codeine, opera, etc) if you select the “Advanced” option there.
A few currently known issues:
- Amarok from Packman doesn’t install and gives out some errors. This is being investigated.
- No Totem package in Packman available yet; this should probably be around by the final release.
Please let me know if you have any other issues so that they can be fixed in time for the RC release next week. Enjoy

openSUSE-Community.org’s New Site Template & Logo
View original post
openSUSE-Community.org, in order to stay beautiful and integrate more closely with openSUSE.org, has now been ported over to the new site layout:
All the credit really goes to Robert Lihm, who conceived the site/template layout, and Frank Sundermeyer, who implemented it all. It only needed a small amount of changes to go straight onto the community website. It now also uses the SimpleFeed MediaWiki extension, like openSUSE.org, for delivering the latest news from news.openSUSE.org.
The only other current thing in progress is a new logo for the site, which will be created in order to comply with the Artwork Brand Guidelines, and it should be done very soon. The new template should also be coming to openSUSE.org and the Build Service very soon too, so stay tuned.
Edit: Juergen just sent me over a logo that Jimmac has graciously made, which I think you will all agree is very beautiful:
