Comments on: Suse 10 http://gorey.com.au/archives/1305 Random thoughts and observations from Mount Gambier Tue, 06 Jan 2009 03:43:32 +0000 hourly 1 By: Michael http://gorey.com.au/archives/1305/comment-page-1#comment-324 Michael Mon, 07 Nov 2005 04:35:06 +0000 http://gorey.com.au/archives/1305#comment-324 Clint, thanks for that link. I followed the instructions and can now play DVDs with Totem or Xine. Kaffeine crashed on me and Mplayer simply doesn't load. Never mind, it's working and Suse now does almost everything Windows can do. I found this comment in the article interesting though: "You'll have to modify the video player so that it will play DVDs. While it originally had this functionality built in, Novell has removed it to make life more difficult for people who want to watch DVDs on their computer." Clint, thanks for that link.

I wanted Suse to be the main OS for my 9yo son to reduce virus risk. He needs it to play DVDs more than me. It is an issue.
