FYI…. Here is one of the other folks having the same problem… and with the same conclusion: ONE CLICK SHOULD WORK, BUT DOESN’T.

IT DOES NOT WORK!!!!

My original 10.3 install did actually get all of the codecs automagically… but after I reinstalled everything from scratch, it DOES NOT install/activate any codecs for things like MPEG4, mp4, wmv, etc.

And there is nothing that actually just works.

Telling me to go to 11.0 is not an option. 10.3 is required and still supported.

This URL’s stuff (http://opensuse-community.org/Restricted_Formats/10.3) certainly installed stuff to allow regular MP3 and MPEG to work… and it did result in w32codes-all getting installed, BUT totem is not playing any of the other formats… and before it did.

Please post a solution that just works without requiring that everyone has to piece it together like some puzzle — eg. like the way it was before. One-Click should mean just that… not One-Click, nothing really changes, then spend next few days scanning forums full of other people stuck on the same stuff.

Great job, It would be awesome if this concept is extended to every distro. Ease of installation is one of the 2 main gaps in linux (the other are drivers).

This is really amazing!!! Would be very nice if YMP/one Click Install would became standard… would be really very very nice!!!

Hope all goes well!!!

It’s really horrible that each Linux distro uses it’s own tools in respect to software installation…

This is not the same as GDebi, or AptUrl.

GDebi installs individual packages, it does not allow installing any number of packages located in any repository.

AptUrl will only install packages in the existing repositories.

There is an Ubuntu effort to provide the same functionality called ThirdPartyApt. I have been in contact with the specification authors so we can try to use the same file format.

The YMP file format that One Click Install uses is flexible enough to allow instructions for both Ubuntu and openSUSE in one file.

AFAIK gedbi works only with local packages, and SUSE/openSUSE have done the same for versions already.

Does gdebi allow to install packages from remote repositories (with option to keep them registered) and allows to refine a packages list before installation?

How is this different from gdebi (for Debian based distros) ?
All you have to do is to open a deb file using gdebi and it automatically installs all dependencies.
What is the exact difference between between gdebi’s approach and 1-click-install ?
