Did you install the rpm fusion repos?

Try running
sudo dnf group install 'Sound and Video'

sudo-wanderingsoul · 2024-08-31T23:54:52Z

I have tried this previously and run into nothing being installed, I tried this today and got the same results:

I think I found something but I'm not sure if this is by design or not:

sudo dnf -v group info 'Sound and Video'
lists out the packages that are part of the group, but the only packages listed are optional or conditional

So based on that I ran
sudo dnf group install --with-optional 'Sound and Video'
and ran into this:

$ sudo dnf group install --with-optional 'Sound and Video'
Last metadata expiration check: 1:38:16 ago on Sat 31 Aug 2024 06:42:38 PM EDT.
Error: 
 Problem: conflicting requests
  - package audacity-freeworld-3.4.2-2.fc40.x86_64 from rpmfusion-free conflicts with audacity provided by audacity-3.4.2-1.fc40.x86_64 from fedora
  - package audacity-freeworld-3.6.1-1.fc40.x86_64 from rpmfusion-free-updates conflicts with audacity provided by audacity-3.4.2-1.fc40.x86_64 from fedora
(try to add '--allowerasing' to command line to replace conflicting packages or '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages)

sudo-wanderingsoul · 2024-09-01T00:29:42Z

Ah.

$ sudo dnf group install --with-optional --skip-broken 'Sound and Video'

looks to work as expected.

--allowerasing and --best don't do anything different (in this particular case). When installing, the 'audacity-freeworld' package is skipped in favor of the non-freeworld package.

ConEstArthur · 2024-09-04T17:30:56Z

I'm facing the same issue on a fresh install.

sudo-wanderingsoul · 2024-09-04T19:15:41Z

I'm facing the same issue on a fresh install.

Have you tried running sudo dnf group install --with-optional --skip-broken 'Sound and Video' ?

ConEstArthur · 2024-09-04T21:31:41Z

I'm facing the same issue on a fresh install.

Have you tried running sudo dnf group install --with-optional --skip-broken 'Sound and Video' ?

Yes, as I'm trying it right now I can see there are so many packages left to install.
1.9gb download size.

And I got two conflicts first being audacity-freeworld and second being pipewire-jack-audio-connection-kit.

Edit:- Actually these are just redundant packages. This command basically installs every package in that group which is not ideal.
Hoping for a better solution.

devangshekhawat · 2024-12-08T10:34:14Z

I've tried my fair share of tweaks and cannot come up with the original cause of whats causing this issue for now.
It seems to "just work" on some devices and on some it does not.
When I come across a relevant solution I will make sure to incorporate it into the guide, meanwhile if anyone reading this also has some leads do let me know.

ConEstArthur · 2024-12-08T10:37:24Z

Just for the heads-up, in Fedora 41, using small 'm' in multimedia group command yields more useful packages.

Interesting, can you please tell me more about it? like the source and anything else that would be relevant for example.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Fedora/comments/1ft8ri4/are_there_any_other_media_codecs_i_need_to_install/

I've seen it here and some other thread as well. You would have to use mix of dnf4 and dnf5 to get every relevant package installed I think.
During my last install I had to use sudo dnf4 group update core
Since 'update' is not recognisable term for dnf5 anymore as to how it handle groups.

Made the changes, thanks for your contribution.

JerodBurnett · 2024-12-12T02:49:28Z

Hey thanks for making this guide, I believe
sudo dnf config-manager --set-enabled fedora-cisco-openh264
Should be updated to:
sudo dnf config-manager setopt fedora-cisco-openh264.enabled=1

The former was giving me an error regarding --set-enabled not being valid.

Thank you for making this again!
