Codecs cannot be installed

[fleurc (Anon)]

Hello,

I have been trying to install the codecs provided by OM-Welcome for a few days now.
They couldn’t be installed and after trying to install its packages all together i have found the error.
Certain libraries are not provided for install thus the install always fails.
I have made this issue over on github as will be linked to at the end of the post.

• OpenMandriva Lx version:
  ROME

• Desktop environment (KDE, LXQT…):
  KDE

• Description of the issue (screenshots if relevant):
  Codecs cannot be installed thanks to the following error described bellow and above.

• Relevant informations (hardware involved, software version, logs or output…):
  Latest Distro Sync, Laptop Samsung NP300E5M with no modified hardware aside from having a sata SSD instead of an HDD.

Output of Dnfdrake install:
Error:

Github Issue 2928:

Codecs canNot be Installed.

You will find a convenient shortcut in OM Welcome

[fleurc (Anon)]

If you carefully read my post you will find that that route has been tried, but as it is nothing more than a fancy script to do the manual job the dnfdrake bug report still stands. The codecs cannot be installed, put simply. (Deleted the other post in order to put a proper reply but it did basically read the same as this.)

[rugyada]

Yes I misunderstood the first line.

I can confirm, running om-welcome from console I can see the output with failed transaction.
It will be reported to devs. May need just a rebuild.

The issue is working on. Meanwhile you can install all the codecs except x264

faac flac lib64xvid4 lib64dca0 x265 lib64dvdcss2 qt-heif-image-plugin heifthumbnailer

Thanks for that, got to install everything except x264 just like you said, which is a huge help already.

[rugyada]

You can install the cooker fixed package in ROME

sudo dnf install --enablerepo=cooker-x86_64-restricted x264

My log:
x264.txt (4,3 KB)

Won’t it cause problems with the distrosync under ROME?

EDIT: Read the message in the github issue and it seems to be a one time things, thanks!

@rugyada

sudo dnf install --enablerepo=cooker-x86_64-restricted x264

Will still do it, but that’s my concern

[rugyada]

@fleurc

it seems to be a one time things

Sure

I posted my concern on closing, if any of the mods or devs feel that this solves the bug in a more permanent manner then feel free to close the issue and put your last post as a solution.

[rugyada]

I have labeled it as solved in cooker. For ROME is not solved yet but will become with next major upgrade.

@fleurc

No.

Try it and see. If there is any problem there would be an error message so no harm would be done.

Thanks for the hard work.
