Conquer chameleon-opensuse

The Ubuntu 10.10 In the notebook suddenly died, and a work platform needs to be reconfigured, which has some Aesthetic Fatigue on Ubuntu... Now, We will challenge the following chameleon.

About opensuse

The opensuse release version is a customized, easy-to-use, and comprehensive multi-purpose release version.
He is a development version that allows users and developers to work in desktop environments or servers. It is great for beginners, experienced users, and super technical customers. He is great for everyone! The latest release version of opensuse 12.2 uses the latest and significantly improved version of the server and desktop application. It is equipped with more than 1,000 Original release applications.

Since the installation and configuration have a friendly GUI, you can quickly get started with opensuse even if you are just a beginner in Linux.

Install

1. Go to the official website (http://software.opensuse.org/) to download the image, I chose version 12.1, destop choose gnome;

2. Prepare a USB flash drive larger than 1 GB. In Windows, use imagewriter to write opensuse to a USB flash drive. Remember to change the image extension to. Raw. format the USB flash drive before filling the system;

3. After the USB flash drive is installed, restart the computer, press F12 on the boot, choose to start from the USB flash drive, and continue to the next step. Pay attention to the following points:

1) set the time zone. If you are a citizen, press settings. You must select "set hardware clock to UTC". Otherwise, the time is incorrect.

2) create a partition. I only create two fast partitions, one \, 40g, one \ swap, and two G;

3) Delete the backup image when you confirm the installation. In bootloadsetting, select the one starting with false to delete it;

4) Cancel hard disk check during startup. Double-click opensuse in bootloadsetting, select do not veryfy..., and select 1280*800 for VGA mode (for your own hardware ).

 Beautification

Beautification is a very important thing, because every day you face the system interface, icons, and fonts.

1. Install theme

Recommend a Linux theme website-http://gnome-look.org/

Here the holo theme is selected, a flat design popular in Android.

Download: http://tiheum.deviantart.com/art/Holo-280076980

After downloading the topic package, decompress the package directly and paste the decompressed folder to the system topic folder.

sudo cp ~/Downloads/Holo/ /usr/share/themes/ -R

2. Icon topic

Faience is selected here, which is a great icon!

Download the package and decompress the package directly. Go to the terminal to enter the folder and run:

sudo ./INSTALL

OK.

In this case, you can select the holo topic and faience icon in advanced setting.

3. Install the font

Here we select the yahei consolas hybrid, a type of font.

After decompression, double-click it. There is an installation button in the lower right corner. Click it to install it.

Or set it in advanced setting:

After completing these steps, the system is basically finished and the final results are as follows:

Update Source

This is similar to the update source in Ubuntu, which adds a handy software warehouse to the system.

Run YaST-> softwarerepositories, delete several system sources, and add Sohu sources.

Sohu-opensuse-12.1-oss: http://mirrors.sohu.com/opensuse/distribution/12.1/repo/oss,
B) sohu-opensuse-12.1-non-oss: http://mirrors.sohu.com/opensuse/distribution/12.1/repo/non-oss;

Sohu-opensuse-12.1-update: http://mirrors.sohu.com/opensuse/update/12.1;

Run the terminal after the source is updated:

sudo zypper update

Development Environment

If you want to install the software, the system comes with a new dumb manager similar to the new one. In YaST-> software management, you can search for the corresponding software to install it, such as chrome, ibus, and Flash plugin, both can be installed there.

However, sometimes you need to install or even compile some software or libraries manually.

It corresponds to sudo apt-Get In ubuntu, and sudo zypper in SuSE.

1. GCC

Terminal Operation

sudo zypper install gcc gcc-c++ kernel-devel

2. Lua

In YaST, Lua is 5.1. You can download the latest version from the official website and compile it on your own.

However, the message "libreadline" and "ncurses" cannot be found.

Terminal Operation

sudo zypper install libreadline5 sudo zypper install ncurses-devel

You also need to manually compile readline5 (http://packages.ubuntu.com/raring/libdevel/libreadline-gplv2-dev), download and unzip, run in turn

./configure./makesudo ./make install

Go to the unzipped Lua folder and run:

make linuxsudo make install

After installation, you can run Lua on the terminal.

3. QT

Go to the official website (http://qt-project.org/downloads) to download QT 5.0.1 for Linux 32-bit (388 MB ).

The downloaded file is a file with the. Run extension. This file is similar to the installation file in windows, where both the QT library and IDE are located.

Modify its attributes and add a small hook.

Double-click to run the task.

 

Continue to the next step, and then you can see the familiar picture.

To this step QT has not been fully installed, but also need to do some work, in softwaremanagement to download three things: libpng-12, Mesa, gtk2-engine

4. Python

Also go to the official website (http://www.python.org/download/) to download source code.

Decompress the package and enter the directory on the terminal. Run the following commands in sequence:

 ./configure sudo makesudo make install

After the operation is complete, it will be OK. If the terminal runs python, you can start the python journey!

Play MP3

After opensuse is installed, you cannot directly listen to music. You need to install some decoder.

Add two sources first.

zypper addrepo -f http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/packman/suse/12.2/ packmanzypper addrepo -f http://opensuse-guide.org/repo/12.2 dvd

Installation Library:

zypper install libxine1-codecs k3b-codecs ffmpeg lame gstreamer-0_10-plugins-bad gstreamer-0_10-plugins-ugly gstreamer-0_10-ffmpeg libdvdcss2

After the installation, the system prompts you that you cannot play MP3 files. The solution is as follows:

Install the following packages in YaST: gstreamer-0_10-fluendo-mp3 and banshee-Community-extensions-Common.

After installation, it will be OK.

Chinese garbled characters,

If the document in window contains Chinese characters, garbled characters will appear when it is opened in SuSE. The solution is as follows:

Terminal execution:

sudo vi /etc/profile

Add at the end of the file :,

Export lang = en_US.UTF-8

Open the file again, and the Chinese characters will be displayed normally.
