4.2 DVD Installation

When you're ready, insert the DVD and (re)start the computer. Live CD/USB installation is described below.

Welcome

The first thing you'll see is this welcome screen.

Start Installation

Then you're presented with a menu.

Here you can select your desired language and a few other options,afterwards begin installation.

Language and Licence

The licence agreement is only to inform you of your rights. It doesn't

require your acceptance, since it doesn't limit your use.

Check that language and keyboard layout are as desired.

Installation Mode

Here you choose whether to perform a new installation or upgrade an

existing openSUSE installation.

Clock and Time Zone

2/9

Set the timezone here.

If you have only GNU/Linux it's recommended to set the hardware clock to

UTC, if you dual boot with MS Windows set it to local time.

Desktop Selection

Various different graphical user interfaces (desktop environments) exist forGNU/Linux. KDE is preselected and is preferred by about 70% of

openSUSE users and is also the focus of this guide.

Under "Other" you can select LXDE, Xfce, minimal graphical environment

(IceWM) and even a text based system which is useful for servers.

Partitioning

By default openSUSE will propose to create three new partitions / (root) for

system files, /home/ for personal files of users and swap which is used as a

supplement for RAM, similar to the page file in MS Windows.

If you're performing a dual boot installation, be extra careful here.

Note that Linux labels disks/partitions using the following scheme -sda1 isfirst partition on the first disk,sdb3 is the third partition on the second disk,

and so forth. Partitions that will be formatted are written in red text.

Create New User

Now it's time to create your user. Note that by default the root user(administrator) password will be the same as the password for the normal

user.

If you want the added security of a separate root password, consider

unchecking that checkbox. You may also want to consider disabling

autologin to prevent people from easily accessing your system and data.

Installation SettingsDouble check that everything is as desired - this is the point of no

return!

Now the actual installation is performed.

Automatic Configuration

After installation is performed, the system will restart and performautoconfiguration.

And finally your brand new openSUSE system will start. Congratulations,and have a lot of fun with openSUSE!

4.3 Live CD/USB InstallationWhen you're ready to install, insert the CD/USB and (re)boot the computer.

The Live CD/USB provides two different installation modes, you can install directly from the boot menu, oryou can boot the system and install from the desktop while the system is running, by clicking on the install

icon on the desktop. There is only a visual difference between the two modes of installation. It's

recommended to try booting the live system before installing to see if your hardware components aresupported.

Language and License

The licence agreement is only to inform you of your rights. It doesn't

require your acceptance, since it doesn't limit your use.

Check that language and keyboard layout are as desired.

Clock and Time Zone

Set the timezone here.

If you have only GNU/Linux it's recommended to set the hardware clock to

UTC, if you dual boot with MS Windows set it to local time.

13. Multimedia Codecs

This chapter describes three different methods for installing the packages needed to playback most

multimedia formats - including MP3, DVDs etc., with Kaffeine (video) and Amarok (audio). You can use 1-

Click Install, manual installation or use the command line - whichever method you prefer.

By default only free, open, non-patent encumbered formats such as Ogg Theora, Ogg Vorbis and Flac are

supported for legal reasons (US software patents and Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA)).

13.1 Codec Installation with 1-Click

Click on the button below to install multmedia codecs with 1-click install.

Note, if you get a warning dialog like this don't panic! Simply select the top option, to allow changing thevendor for some packages from openSUSEtoPackman, then clickOK -- Try Again.

13.2 Manual Codec Installation

You can install the packages manually instead if you prefer.

First add the repositories with YaST Software Repositories:

Packman Repository

libdvdcss repository (skip if you don't need DVD playback)

If the concepts ofpackage managerand repositories are foreign to you, revisit the chaptersInstalling Software andSoftware Repositories.

Then install the following packages with YaST Software Management:

libxine2-codecs

k3b-codecs

ffmpeg

lame

gstreamer-0_10-plugins-bad

gstreamer-0_10-plugins-ugly

gstreamer-0_10-plugins-ugly-orig-addon

gstreamer-0_10-plugins-ffmpeg

libdvdcss2 (skip if you don't need DVD playback)

13.3 Codec Installation in the Terminal

To install codecs using the terminal instead, do these steps:

Add the needed repositories (skip the dvd repo if you don't need DVD playback):zypper addrepo -f http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/packman/suse/12.2/ packman

zypper addrepo -f http://opensuse-guide.org/repo/12.2/ dvd

Then install the necessary packages (skip libdvdcss2 if you don't need DVD playback):

zypper install libxine2-codecs k3b-codecs ffmpeg lame gstreamer-0_10-plugins-bad gstreamer-0_10-plugins-

ugly gstreamer-0_10-plugins-ugly-orig-addon gstreamer-0_10-plugins-ffmpeg libdvdcss2

You may be asked if you want to allow vendor change for some packages - allow it.

Use Copy/Paste to avoid typos. To paste in Konsole right click mouse => Paste - or use

Ctrl+Shift+V.

15. Graphics DriversNote that there's no need to install the below non-free video drivers, if the free drivers used by default work

for your needs.

15.1 NvidiaClick on the button corresponding to your Nvidia graphics card to install the driver with 1-click install.

Afterwards reboot your computer.

15.1.1 Install Nvidia Driver in the TerminalYou can install the Nvidia driver in the terminal instead if you prefer.

First add the repository:zypper addrepo -f ftp://download.nvidia.com/opensuse/12.2/ nvidia

Then install the package which corresponds to your graphics card:

ForGeForce 6 and laterzypper install x11-video-nvidiaG02ForFX5xxx

zypper install x11-video-nvidiaG01

ForGeForce 4 and older

zypper install x11-video-nvidia

Finally reboot.

15.2 ATI/AMD

ForRadeon HD5xxx and laterSee http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:AMD_fglrx

8/9

ForRadeon HD2xxx to HD4xxxSee http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:AMD_fglrx_legacy

For ATI cards older than HD2xxx your only option is to stick with the default free driver.

15.3 Intel

The 3D drivers for Intel graphics cards are free software, and can therefore be included in openSUSE out of

the box. No additional installation or configuration is needed.

16. Wireless Driver Installation

Most of the time wifi will just work out of the box. In these cases you'll be able to configure your wirelesscard using the NetworkManagement widget which you should find running in your system tray.

16.1 Find Out Which Chipset

If your wireless card isn't supported out of the box, chances are you can make it work fairly easily.

The first step is running this command to find out which chipset is on the card. The chipset is what matters,

the make and model of the device is basically of no importance.hwinfo --wlan --short

Now that you know which chipset is on your card, you can start figuring out what is required to make thechipset work in openSUSE - usually you'll just need to install a driver and/or some firmware.

16.2 Recent Broadcom Chipset

The following chips are supported by the proprietarybroadcom-wl driver: bcm4312, bcm4313, bcm4321,

bcm4322, bcm43224, bcm43225, bcm43227, bcm43228.

16.2.1 Install broadcom-wl with 1-Click

If you have one of those chips, you can install the broadcom-wl driver with 1-click install by clicking thebutton below and following instructions:

16.2.2 Manual Installation of broadcom-wlIf you prefer, install the packages manually instead:

1)

Find out which kernel flavouryou have (desktop, default, xen, pae), by running:

uname -r

9/9

Add thePackman Repository:

If the concepts ofpackage managerand repositories are foreign to you, revisit the chapters Installing

Software and Software Repositories.

3)

Install the following packages with YaST or zypper:

broadcom-wl

broadcom-wl-kmp-[kernel flavour]

16.3 Older Broadcom ChipsetIf you have an older Broadcom chip supported by the, free, reverse-engineered b43 driver, i.e.: bcm4303,

bcm4306, bcm4309, bcm4311, bcm4318, you only need to install the firmware. This is automated by simply

running this command and rebooting afterwards (make sure the package b43-fwcutteris installed and thatyou are online while running the command):

install_bcm43xx_firmware

16.4 Atheros ChipsetAtheros are working with the Linux-kernel developers towards providing support for all their wireless

chipsets in the mainline Linux-kernel, via theath5kandath9kdrivers, so most atheros cards should just

work.

16.5 Intel ChipsetIntel are cooperating quite well with the Linux-kernel developers and all Intel wifi chips should just work.

16.6 Other Chipsets

If your chipset manufacturer is not mentioned above, search the web foropensuse [your chipset] and you're

likely to find information on how to get it working.

There's a software repository with drivers for e.g. Ralink and Realtek wireless chips. You can add it with this

command:zypper addrepo -f http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/driver:/wireless/openSUSE_12.2 wireless
