 Cant run RealPLayer 10

 Hi All using Ubuntu 7.10 with all updates.
 I downloaded RealPlayer10GOLD.bin to my Home directory.

 I used chmod a+x RealPlayer10GOLD.bin [enter]
 then sudo ./RealPlayer10GGOLD.bin [enter]
 Password [enter]
 prompt [enter]
 /opt/RealPlayer [enter]
 copying files... [enter]
 When asked whether to allow Installer to configure system wide symbolic 
 links, type Y, and press ENTER, (this I did)

 [enter]

 RealPlayer was finished, the Icon came to Applications, Sound  Video.

 I put the Icon on the Desktop.

 Doubled clicked on it and nothing.

 In the Properties of the RealPlayer Icon I see in the Command realplay

 I can not get RealPlayer to run.

 Can any one hep please?

 I done exactly from a book called Ubuntu Linux For Non-Geeks

 This also comes from some websites about RealPlayer10GOLD.bin

Mike  Open a terminal and type

realplay

the RealPlayer should open.

Then click on it (to make sure it's the active window) and type Ctrl+L. 
  That should open a dialogue where you can paste your link

rtsp://g2.movieflix.com/flix/raven3vd_b.rm

Click OK, and wait (it takes a while for the stream to buffer - say 
10-15 sec).  The film should then play.

If this sequence fails, can you post to tell us at what point it fails.

PS you don't need 'sudo realplay' in properties;  just realplay

Personally, I use mplayer. In its normal install it could do the audio
of the BBC monkey clip posted, but with w32codecs it can also do the
video, although the sound and video seemed slightly out of sync (I
wonder if there is any way of fixing this).

 Now I am in a mess sort of, dont know how to uninstall.
 Some one did send me a script uninst.sh
 But I am not at all sure how to make use of it.
 
 I am stuck, proper stuck.

All I did to 'uninstall' it was to delete everything which had a 
RealPlayer string in the name (I think) there were quite a lot and it 
was a  bit tedious because I had to first do a search, then 
systematically delete the various files. It was tedious for me because 
I am inexperienced and not confident with deleting using sudo and 
wildcards! So I did it a few files at a time.
I even deleted any graphic which had been introduced (real logo etc etc)

Anyway it did work ok!  :-)

If you do an initial 'Find files' looking for say. 'real' then decide 
what to then search for - iirc it was realplayer, not at all sure.

It was that experience which party decided me to only use things I 
could install  via synaptic, and further, to stay with mplayer (FOSS) 
even though the functions and gui is not as good.

You can also try running sudo realplay and see if that works.

Because of similar nightmares I now use aptitude routinely, and try only 
to install from debs from repositories.  Aptitude seems to keep track of 
dependencies better than synaptic, so you can sudo aptitude remove 
'packagename', and, better yet, when things get bad sudo aptitude 
purge 'packagename', which gets rid of pretty much everything including 
configuration files.

I understand aptitude's now the preferred method for .debs;  I wonder 
how many of us use it, and whether there are any issues with it (though 
can't say I've experienced any).

[ubuntu-uk] NASA TV

2007-12-05 Thread Tony Arnold

My mother wants to watch the shuttle launch tomorrow. She has feisty
with all updates and has VLC and the VLC plug in installed along with
w32codecs, but when she tries to watch NASA TV it comes up with message
about the browser not having the right plugins! The message comes from
the NASA WEB site, so I guess there must be some checking happening that
is not working. It did work briefly, but I think NASA may have changed
some things in the last day or so.

Anyone else got this problem and/or found a fix?

Tony.

10, about which the notes say

RealPlayer 10 for Linux is based on the open source Helix player.

RealPlayer 10 supports RealAudio, RealVideo 10, MP3, Ogg Vorbis and
Theora, H263, AAC and more. Get ready for accelerated video, full
screen playback, and a lot more to play.

That's why I assumed it was basically GNU/GPL.

The version I'm using is in Feisty-Commercial.

 Cant run RealPLayer 10
 
 Hi All using Ubuntu 7.10 with all updates.
 I downloaded RealPlayer10GOLD.bin to my Home directory.
 
 I used chmod a+x RealPlayer10GOLD.bin [enter]
 then sudo ./RealPlayer10GGOLD.bin [enter]
 Password [enter]
 prompt [enter]
 /opt/RealPlayer [enter]
 copying files... [enter]
 When asked whether to allow Installer to configure system wide symbolic 
 links, type Y, and press ENTER, (this I did)
 
 [enter]
 
 RealPlayer was finished, the Icon came to Applications, Sound  Video.
 
 I put the Icon on the Desktop.
 
 Doubled clicked on it and nothing.
 
 In the Properties of the RealPlayer Icon I see in the Command realplay
 
 I can not get RealPlayer to run.
 
 Can any one hep please?
 
 I done exactly from a book called Ubuntu Linux For Non-Geeks
 
 This also comes from some websites about RealPlayer10GOLD.bin
 TIA,
 
 

AFIK RealPlayer10 uses the GNU/Linux module 'realplay'.  So you need to 
have that installed.  In a terminal, type :

sudo aptitude update

sudo aptitude install realplay

(you'll need to enter your 'login' password when asked)

I just tried visiting this (albeit not in Ubuntu) on a brand new Asus Eee PC 
running Xandros and it Just Works. Worth noting that it uses mplayer with 
the mplayer mozilla plugin (which I do indeed also use under Ubuntu), so 
would assume it will work on my Ubuntu laptop too).

I would use the package manager to install the mozila-mplayer package. 
Interestingly I also use this package to play real media based streams such 
as the BBC, and again, it Just Works.

Now I remember why I use Linux and not some

It's great isn't it :)

So I plugged it in, went to the Network settings
in Ubuntu and specified the network, IP address,
subnet and gateway. Then it was a simple matter
of using the wife's laptop to update my access
point with the new MAC address and voilà, all
connected to the web in less than a minute.

Do us a favour. Get some details about the device from the command lsusb
and let us know what it is. Also get the make and model number off the
device. This kind of information is useful for people who are looking for
cheap wireless usb devices for ubuntu.

Now what was all that stuff about drivers, rebooting
and the like?

Happy days :)

Cheers,
Al.

No problem, 'lsusb' gives the device as having a 'Zydas' chipset.
On the dongle itself: It's manufactured by 'LM Technologies' and
is model no. 'LM001'. A quick Google of either details gives
results. When I bought it on eBay there was no details, so it
was a £10 (inc. postage) gamble, but it paid off in the end.

I'm using Ubuntu 7.10 by the way. Hope this helps other users
to select what proved to be a simple to set up device.

Andy J.

For anyone looking for a zydas based usb wifi adapter get a safecom
swmulz-5400. The specific chipset is the zd112b.This search on ebay
brings up lots of linux friendly usb devices:
http://search-desc.ebay.co.uk/search/search.dll?sofocus=unknownsbrftog=1catref=C12from=R10_trksid=m37satitle=zydassacat=44998%26catref%3DC6fts=2sargn=-1%26saslc%3D3sadis=200fpos=CT2+8PEsabfmts=1saobfmts=insifga10244=10425ftrt=1ftrv=1saprclo=saprchi=fsop=1%26fsoo%3D1coaction=comparecopagenum=1coentrypage=searchfgtp=

and this link takes you to a seller with lots of those safecom wifi
adapters specifically:
http://stores.ebay.co.uk/express-pcs_Networking_W0QQcolZ4QQdirZ1QQfsubZ12QQftidZ2QQtZkm

Hmm, maybe I should have used tinyurl for those links...

Has she tried opening the streaming URL directly from Mplayer rather than
relying on the browser plug-in? Sometimes that works... .

Also, this is the full URL on the link button...

This last one works in mplayer for me, (in firefox) - but only once. 
Subsequent tries failed

By 'packagename' I mean, of course, the name that you find listed in, 
say, synaptic (e.g. 'realplay' or 'mozilla-thunderbird').  In fact I 
tend to search for packages with the synaptic 'Search' feature, and then 
install from a terminal with aptitude.

Does anyone use the aptitude GUI?  (Perhaps I should say GUI, as it's 
more a 'sort-of' GUI - the one that starts when you just do 'aptitude' 
in a terminal.  Quite powerful, but old-fashioned and clunky.)
