You will need the mplayer-mozilla package, as well as the w32codecs package from a 3rd party repository, as shown here.
Suse

This page has a good howto on installing many media related doodads as well as w32codecs.

I noticed this pop up on digg, and I decided I just had to link through. A clean objective comparison between Gnome & KDE.
For a long time I had it in my head that Gnome is slow, that was until I actually used it. Now I never even touch KDE…
On a side note I don’t […]
Although this is not only for linux, it should appeal to budding terminal users. YubNub is billed as ‘a (social) command line for the web’, and essentialy it allows to use different services through different commands, for example the command gim tux will search google images for tux.
First of all type in about:config in the […]

I am not here to tell you about the game, I am here to get you playing it.
Firstly, you will have to download and install the game as shown in this forum post.
You will then have to install your distrobutions copy of gtk1.2.

One thing you will likely encounter is an unknown file with no manpage.
Fortunately tools such as dpkg-query and rpm exist.

dpkg-query -S /bin/bash
bash: /bin/bash
The example above uses dpkg-query to find out which package installed the file /bin/bash, which, surprise surprise, is the bash […]
Part of me forgot that scribes was a python app, so this will be very short.
First of all download the scribes tarball from there site. Then extract the tarball with a tar xvzf scribes-0.2.5.tar.gz.
Now all that you need to do is cd into the directory it was extracted to, and then run sudo python setup.py […]
