openSUSE 13.2 Part 6

A few days ago, I initiated an install for h264enc on Triela to see if the dependency problem still existed, and I was surprised to see that it didn't, so I then canceled the install and went ahead with following caf4926's guide (of which they modified the 13.1 guide by changing "13.1" to "13.2") to completely install the multimedia and restricted formats packages. After installation, I immediately tested VLC with the MKV file that I always use for testing, and was able to watch the video; the day after, I upgraded both Mei-chan and Lie-chan.

I figured it would eventually be fixed and that I just had to wait it out to when it did. While the window shade feature no longer works properly (or was changed?), I've found a very viable alternative to replace it that I've partially adapted to - the "lower" option, which lowers the window beneath all the other windows.

With how much Firefox is crashing on Mei-chan, I may have to do a clean install, since I can't pinpoint the problem with what I've tried so far. Rhythmbox still randomly crashes when playing, though it actually just stops responding instead of closing itself, and perhaps it's just me, but it seems to be worse than it used to - maybe even more of a reason for a clean install. While I still need to get used to the new button placement on the dialogues, I still prefer 13.2 over 13.1, as GNOME 3 responds quicker after a cold boot.
