Suse 10.3 and DVD::RIP
in [Suse]
|
From: Ron Gibson on 8 Apr 2008 13:30 Well for some reason 10.2 wouldn't work and sometime back I installed 10.1, which I really didn't use much. Slackware is my preferred distro but I need a front end to transcode (too complicated for me) and DVD::RIP seems to be very popular. Problem is it requires Gnome and Slack no longer does Gnome. There's Gware but the short story is that DVD::RIP fails to compile and something it's looking for in Perl is not doing the job. I tried to convert OSuse KDE 10.1 to Gnome and that wouldn't work for me. When I decided to try 10.3 I see they are two install disks, one for KDE and one for Gnome so maybe that's why that failed so I wasted some time; OTOH, it forced me to install 10.3 which installed without a hitch, perfectly. Well done! All I intend to use this for is DVD ripping, encoding and mastering. This is one time with a Linux I prefer precompiled packages (I like using the Source, Obiwan). Reason why is this stuff is a train wreck even in windoze. I must of tried 15 doze applications before I found 4 to use and sometimes I have to encode/transcode the same avi file twice as no one application is complete enough to perform all the tasks I need done. Having said that I rather avoid testing 15 more applications again. So this time I'll play n00b and just yast the apps. So is there a repository(s) that someone might suggest to add. I know where to get DVD::RIP (one of the Packman repositories) but anyone got a time saving suggestion for which one might be best for what I'll need - Lots of Video related apps, binaries and libs? -- Email - rsgibson(a)verizon.borg Replace borg with net If its Tourist Season, why can't we shoot 'em ???

When you install an app it pulls the dependencies and it's just fine. I have DVD:RIP installed and working fine. I have the normal repos: The 10.3 distribution ones and the normal packman http://ftp.skynet.be/pub/packman/suse/10.3/ Just use the ones YaST suggests.

For the lazy people there is the 1-click install: http://packages.opensuse-community.org/index.jsp?searchTerm=dvdrip&distro=openSUSE_103 It will add the repo as well as install the software and everything it needs. That also does not bother _MY_ traffic in Belgium. :-D houghi -- This was written under the influence of the following: | Artist : 4 Promille | Song : last mich doch in ruhe | Album : Im Naechsten leben

Fooling around with that. Too much trouble. Anyway my purpose was to have a Gnome desktop for those few gnome-centric apps.
