Hi. Last night I tried to install the realplayer using the 'realplayer' package in unstable. As instructed by the package help, I downloaded the 'RealPlayer 8 Basic' RPM from real.com, and let the package install it. (It did this with no complaints.)
I then tried to run it from the command line like this: $ realplay The cpu and disk worked for a while, and then the shell prompt returned. Further attempts to run 'realplay' or 'realplayer' at the prompt returned immediately without noticeable effect. I un-installed the package (with apt-get remove --purge), and reinstalled. I then tried running 'realplay' while monitoring the system with 'top' in another window. The first time I ran 'realplay' I saw several window manager processes rise to the top of the CPU usage stack (fvwm, fluxbox, etc.), and then nothing. Further invocations of realplay had no discernible effect. Has anyone seen results like this before? I am running on a Debian/unstable system under Gnome 1.4 with sawfish as the window manager. I do have ESD installed, but turning it off didn't seem to make any difference. Thanx. Dan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
