[olug] DVD player on SuSe 10/AMD64?

[Rob Townley]

This will not be much help.  I remember running something "apt-get
install libdvdcss2" and it required i get a new version of Firefox
.... that was silly.  The DVDs would work, but Firefox was not
upgraded properly, broke, and it took a couple hours to fix  firefox,
java, plugins, and extensions using dpkg.

I will be probably get the retard award for this, but is there any way
to run apt-get stuff on Suse?  i doubt Automatix would run on anything
but ubuntu / Debian as well.  An earlier  post to the list praised
Automatix:

"Quoting from John Moran's email....

And, with the help of "Automatix", all of the media player problems
have been taken care of as well.

p.s. if you want a Ubuntu CD, i have a couple and RebootTheUser
probably has some and he may be there till 11:00pm.
