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
1) Are you able to play sound in general or is the problem with
realplayer/mplayer?
2) How did you install realplayer/mplayer?
3) If you do
realplay somefile.rm
on a shell then what happens? Is there any error? or do you not hear sound?
mplayer has no gui AFAIK. It is a command line player. If you need a
gui, I think it is called gmplayer.
