VLC and Linpus Linux Lite

[P4n1kH0u53]

Thanks, Captainpat!

I installed Linux FC 8 today from a disk of unknown age belonging to a coworker.
I followed the instructions (which DID NOT WORK) on Videolan.org homepage: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-fedora.html

#> rpm -ivh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fed ... noarch.rpm
#> yum install vlc

Libraries were missing, but I was able to resolve all except for 'libpulse.so.0(PULSE_0)' by using Google & http://rpm.pbone.net & rpmfind.net
Trying to install pulse from rpm.pbone.net using firefox and the default package installer always failed, claiming an unresolved dependency. When trying to install the dependency, firefox complained that it was already installed. (It was something like 'pulseaudio-libs = 0.9.7-0.17.svn20071017.fc8)

So, I checked these forums and searched for 'libpuse.so.0' and found your post with your repeated instructions:

#> yum install fedora-release
#> rpm -ivh download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm
#> yum install vlc

Of course a lot of things printed out to the terminal, but most importantly: 'Dependency Updated: pulseaudio-libs.i386 0:0.9.8-5.fc8 pulseaudio-utils.i386 0:0.9.8-5.fc8'

Now my VLC launches just fine from the terminal:

#> vlc &

I haven't tested it out yet, but I have high hopes for it now!

You need to type in the commands as ROOT user. Go to My Documents, Terminal, and type su
It will ask for a password, which is your ROOT password which you put in when you started the Acer first. If you have forgotten it, there is a way to reset it using xfce, but you'll have to search for it. Or you can re-install more carefully from the restore disc. I only have the Linux running for two weeks, and I'm getting arrogant already

I fixed the problem using the same advice advice given by P4n1kH0u53. See the following 3 lines as stated by P4n1kH0u53:

#> yum install fedora-release
#> rpm -ivh download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm
#> yum install vlc

Captainpat was correct also, however the download link is out of date. The above link is current (as of the date of this posting).

Now my divx porn files play just great on my Acer Aspire One. Thanks Acer!

Hello
I did installed succesfylly VLC to my Acer with firefox (3.0.1) plug-in, but what is not working is streaming options.
I have Dreambox 7025 which offers browser interface to start streaming on certain TV channel. But what happens in that, Firefox give error message "not assigned application" or similar, as details of TVchannels are on file called stream.m3u. On all other PCs and FF it works but not in Acer. Any ideas why?

enter the commands....

Press Alt+F2 then type in xterm

then in the box that shows up enter it there.

Hope this helps

Linpus does not provide all the dependencies fedora does, that the reason why the dependency checker fails.

There is different solutions for this problem:
- Either to re-install the newest Fedora instead of Linpus... (recommanded way)
- Either to manually install every package from a
sudo yum install ffmpeg
then to download vlc-core with
yumdownloader vlc vlc-core
and force the installation:
rpm -ivh vlc*.rpm --nodeps
- Either to manually add the missing dependencies from the fedora repository.

I think this is where the problem is happening. I ran into this myself, and got around it by making sure I had the full path typed in. From what I understand, you're telling the compy to look for the rpm file on the local machine.
Easy fix for me:
Make sure you have http:// in the path. ie;
http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fed ... noarch.rpm
I stopped getting the error messages once I typed this in place of what was previously posted.
And it worked. Hope this helps.

P.S. This was also my first crack at using the terminal in linux.

[Pollechka]

I've tried to overcome the problem with missing public keys or whatever it is called, followed all the above instructions but that does install nothing . What I have now is terminal saying "another app is currently holding the yum lock; waiting for it to exit...". this messege appears millions of times on the screen. what's wrong with this s..t now? I'm a girl may be I did smth wrong somewhere?

I'm really upset now. I've heard all good about lunix but when was given aspire one as a present got so much problems that already hate it.

[jeejee23]

hi i followed all the steps and successfully installed VLC on my AA1 Linpus Lite, but the problem when i played videos (e.g. avi files and such) it does not show me the screen, it only play the sounds/music/effects of that movie. i tried to click on the video menu on top and found out that it was disabled so i selected track 1 and played the video again, but still the same thing. its kinda odd though it already played the movie,the sound but without the video screen itself! PLEASE HELP.

PS i tried reinstalling VLC via the acer.com/aspireone/updates....same problem happens no video screen but only sound. and it seems that everytime i played videos, the video menu seems to be defaulted as disabled. kinda weird though

[buster13]

I have exactly the same problem as jeejee23. I have installed VLC player and have the shortcut (orange cone) in the Fun menu of my Acer Aspire One. I double click the icon and the VLC media player interface appears, but no video screen. I select an avi. file to play but all I get is the audio. Can anyone help please.

Hello all! I'm a newbie of linux and have a acer aspire one netbook. I want to install VLC. I've followed all instrctions given above. I've tried all the option written. But there's still problem. Here's the problem:

Can any of the experts please help me????

[Robert Lake]

It is irritating that workable and usable programs for us netbook user simply disapear. But, there is a solution. It is found at macles bloggspot dot com. HOWEVER, there are at least 140 comments you might want to read before trying this solution. The most important comment tell you to update your "repositories". Thus, in the terminal, before you do anything else, run

sudo yum install fedora-release

Another alternative is to visit ACER's support page

http://www.acer.com/aspireone/aspireone ... t.html#002

I do suspect that you need to upgrade the repositories before trying that VLC installation. I didn't get any picture only sound when I tried it the last time.

[ilkerbuse]

It worked!! I didn't know acer got such a page with different programs. Thank you so much for the advice!!

[culagh]

Hi I recently got my Aspire One and I love it, but I need it to play Xvids and Divxs to complete it. I have tried, over the last two days, to find a solution, to no avail. I have D/L'd and installed VideoLan but like others I can only play sound. Do I need VLC codecs, if so where Do I get them and how do I install them. I want to stay with Linpus but if I Can't solve this issue I may have to dump it in Favour of Windows XP.

[peterdarlison]
