Opensuse zypper repo and Desktop Media Player settings for opensuse12.

1. Disable official sources and DVD sources, and enable Chinese mainland sources.

After opensuse 12.2 is installed with a DVD, a software source named "openSUSE-12.2-1.6" exists by default in the software installation source. The URL of this source actually points to the DVD drive, but in general, after we have installed the system, who will keep putting the DVD disk in the optical drive? This makes it a waste of time to check whether the source is available when we install software through YaST or zypper. Therefore, we recommend that you disable the software source and activate it only when the software is installed on the CD.
In addition, for users in mainland China, it is very important to select an image site from the nearest software source to obtain the desired download speed during software installation and system update and upgrade, otherwise, the speed at which the tortoise crawls will make you lose confidence in the world! As I am a telecom user, Sohu image source is the most suitable for me. Every time I download images at nearly kb. For CERNET users, I suggest adding Shanghai Jiao Tong University image source.
To add and disable official sources, run the following command:

Sudo zypper Mr-D openSUSE-12.2-1.6
Sudo zypper Mr-D openSUSE-12.2-Oss openSUSE-12.2-Non-Oss openSUSE-12.2-Update openSUSE-12.2-Update-Non-Oss

2. solved the problem of playing multimedia files and restricted format files.

By default, opensuse 12.2 does not install patented multimedia codecs. As a result, the built-in Amarok cannot play MP3, WMA, and other formats, while the built-in kaffeine cannot play video formats such as rmvb, although opensuse 12.2 does not install these multimedia codecs to avoid patent risks, we can install them on our own.

Solve the problem that Amarok cannot play MP3 or WMA.

By default, Amarok uses gstreamer as the backend. You can directly execute the following command:

Sudo zypper in gstreamer-0_10-plugins-bad gstreamer-0_10-plugins-ugly gstreamer-0_10-plugins-fluendo_mp3 gstreamer-0_10-plugins-ugly-orig-addon gstreamer-0_10-plugins-ffmpeg

Install smplayer, mplayer, w32codec-all

Kaffeine is based on xine multimedia player, but even if the installation of w32codec-all can not play MP3, rmvb and other formats, it is recommended to abandon, directly install mplayer, smplayer.

Sudo zypper ar http://ftp.skynet.be/pub/packman/suse/openSUSE_12.2/ Packman-Skynet-mirror
Sudo zypper in mplayer smplayer w32codec-all smplayer-Lang

3. Firefox cannot play online flash videos.

Run the following command on the terminal and restart Firefox.

Sudo zypper in flash-player flash-player-kde4 Pullin-flash-player

However, Adobe has stopped supporting the flash browser plug-in for Linux. In official support, only Google Chrome can continue to run flash in the form of pepper API. Therefore, Google Chrome is strongly recommended. The installation process is also very simple.
