Hello - I recently installed Sarge and have been using synaptic to
install packages.
when I install realplayer, the icon appears in Applications> multimedia
but I'm unable to
get realplayer started. Nor will it start when files are directed to
use /user/bin/realplay.
mplayer never installs any startup icon, yet I downloaded the k-6
version which i believe
includes a gui. Never got mplayer running .
I have: a few years linux experience
limited debian experience
gnome desktop
What am I not doing? gary
did you install the codecs [in /usr/lib/win32] ?? you can -if not - get
them at the hungarian mplayer-page. and, by the way, my mplayer on
'etch_text_install' works fine from the command-line.
in sarge i installed mplayer from source. do not forget to do
./configure --enable-gui: that turns the gui-switch on.
good luck,
steef
