A.5. Applications

How can I install applications?: Applications included in the SUSE LINUX CDs are best installed with YaST.
How can I enter commands in GNOME or KDE?: In KDE, click the screen with shell icon in the panel to start the Bash shell. Alternative terminals can be started via the main menu. In GNOME, select a terminal from the main menu. To run a single command in KDE or GNOME, press Alt-F2 then enter the command.
I cannot find many programs in GNOME or KDE.: You can start all programs from a terminal window by entering the program name and pressing Enter.
How do I connect to the Internet in Linux?: Section 1.9.1.1, “KInternet—Connecting to the Internet” provides information about this. Alternatively, use QInternet.
Can I copy and paste in Linux?: Yes, this is possible. Highlight the text block by clicking and dragging with the left mouse button then insert by clicking with the middle mouse button. The right mouse button has a special function in most programs and applications.
How can I switch from a virtual text console to the graphical user interface?: By default, there are six virtual text consoles that can be accessed with Ctrl-Alt-F1 to F6. Press Alt-F7 to go to the graphical user interface.
Why isn't there a movie player that supports encoded DVDs?: Movie player applications on SUSE LINUX are unable to play a number of movie file formats, especially movie DVDs. Due to patented codecs and copy protection, SUSE is not allowed to deliver full-featured movie players with the distribution.
