Aha — that gives me the *sound*, but not the video. Running that and then pressing Ctrl+C to stop it gives this: http://pastebin.ubuntu-uk.org/484 in the terminal. In any case, I think I'd rather install RealPlayer, since it has a decent UI. I had it installed in Feisty — I think from the Dapper Commercial repository. Adding deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ dapper commercial in Software Sources returns: “http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/dapper/Release: Unable to find expected entry commercial/binary-i386/Packages in Meta-index file (malformed Release file?)” Have I got the right APT line? (It does show up as “Ubuntu 6.06 LTS 'Dapper Drake' commercial”) Is there a proper Gutsy repo I can use for RealPlayer? (Thanks, everyone, for all the help, by the way.) -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
