  1. salam kenal,

    nanya agak oot boleh kan?

    bagaimana caranya memainkan file MIDI di openSUSE/SUSE Linux 10.1?

    pakai KMid kok nggak bisa ya..

    terima kasih,
    adinugroho

  2. Tambahkan module untuk memutar midi-nya mas. Misalnya, kalau kita mau memutar MP3, kita menambahkan plugin MP3, demikian halnya dengan yang MIDI.

  3. Itu kalo punya koneksi internet cepat. kalo kita mo install offline (gak ada koneksi internet)?

    File-file apa aja yang harus di download? Juga dependensi ??

  4. kebetulan saya pake ubuntu x86_64 (64bit), jadi codec buat jalanin multimedianya bukan w32codec… adanya w64codec… codec ini memang sangat berguna, apalagi kalo yang suka nonton film dengan jenis file .rmvb

  5. gilee.. langsung jalan bo…:D
    saya pake opensuse 10.2, abis dunlud itu langsung jalan.. sebelumnya udah update xine-lib, lame, mp321, dll ga bisa2 jalanin di amarok.
    seneng gw baru kali ini bisa.

    Trima kasih banyak yah buat sarannya..
