We will use vlc as media player. Do not reboot during the following instructions:
- Log in as root and open a console
- Find out your CDROM device:
# hwinfo --cdrom --short cdrom: /dev/sr0 HL-DT-ST DVD+-RW GH50N
- Priviledge ordinary users to access the CDROM drive:
# chmod 777 /dev/sr0
- Find out your sound device
# ls /dev/dsp* /dev/dsp
- Priviledge ordinary users to access the sound device:
# chmod 777 /dev/dsp
- add a repository: yast2 -> software -> software repositories -> add -> community repositories -> pacman
- install vlc
# yast -i vlc
- create an ordinary user
# useradd -m myuser
- assign a password to the ordinary user
# passwd myuser
- graphically log out and log in again as ordinary user
- start vlc:
# vlc
