deb packages for ubuntu

Postby **MetalheadGautham** » 17 Jun 2007 07:49

I finally installed Ubuntu 7.04 Feisty Fawn in my PC to dual boot with Windows XP!

But I am not able to connect to the net via Ubuntu, hence I want to know where I can get a .deb package of VLC Media Player.

@j-b: now I got yet another forum to use regularly

There are none.

Build one yourself. Read my blog to know how to do it.

sorry for the red lettering... anyway, one thing I hate about linux is that you have to compile everything... to install the drivers for my ethernet modem, I have to compile the drivers

I think I am better off asking somebody for it....

UPDATE: @ j-b: didn't I tell you that I have no net connection with ubuntu? why are all those apt get commands present?

PS: I am starting to really get pissed off with playing media on ubuntu...

I think you should first fix the network connection issue with Ubuntu.

got the same reply in ubuntu forums... but in the meanwhile, what CAN I do?

You could stop using ubun-what's it called.

P.S. What's wrong with red lettering? Or were you just "joking".

P.P.S. MetalheadGautham, how did you manage to spam this forum without actually spamming this forum?

Postby **Jean-Baptiste Kempf** » 18 Jun 2007 08:47

I am not joking, big red lettering are bad.

Postby **MetalheadGautham** » 18 Jun 2007 08:48

PS: get back to the topic... can't anyone help me?

Postby **CloudStalker** » 18 Jun 2007 08:49

comeon j-b, how long can it take you to make a deb package of vlc 0.8.6c for me? just this one tiny favor.... I am a linux noob

Well he's probably the only developer to visit these forums on a regular basis and he's quite busy with more important things like:

Nah, nobody reads that.

Postby **MetalheadGautham** » 18 Jun 2007 10:48

anybody?? I look like a moron asking this request

a deb package just for vlc is worthless, this is not as easy as in windows; because there are many dependencies. see http://packages.debian.org/stable/graphics/vlc to see how many dependencies you actually need. you

Postby **MetalheadGautham** » 18 Jun 2007 11:19

and what about an RPM package too? these are required because one may be able to distribute them in a cd to others. all the dependencies can be downloaded...

well... I guess not. then what can I use? I want a complete media player in a deb package....

PS atleast an mp3 player ?

or is there a package where all the extra ubuntu gstreamer codecs are available?

if you have a fast net connection, you can download the ubuntu dvd's, then use them as local repositories using apt-cdrom. but while you are at it, better download the debian dvd.

also, google for "local repository" ubuntu

Postby **MetalheadGautham** » 18 Jun 2007 11:47

well, I gues I will have to call my Broadband company and ask em to fix the connection for ubuntu.

well, atleast tel me if there is a way to get the mp3 plugin/player for ubuntu.
