The VideoLAN Forums

Cheers All,
I am a linux cretin and just bought a new acer net book running Linpus. I use video lan on my other boxes and want to run it on the wee book. Anyone with the idea of whether this would work. I checked th linux versions supported page and did not see Linpus there but wanted to go an extra step

Regards,

Run this from a terminal window. It worked fine for me on the aspireone.

sudo rpm -ivh http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release-8.rpm
sudo yum install vlc

Hi I'm new here and to linux and I to just got myself a Aspire One with Linpus. I follow what you advice to run in the terminal and I got this at the end, Any idea what happen? TQs

I just reinstall linpus Lite and didn't have any problem. Now i tried to re-install VLC and I've got problems about missing librairies. I think that some of the dependencies servers are not availalble

Hi all, I have exactly the same problem as above. I ran Live update and then straight away tried to install VLC but I am getting the error messages

Error: Missing Dependency: libpulse.so.0(PULSE_0) is needed by package vlc
Error: Missing Dependency: libopendaap.so.0 is needed by package vlc-core

Any help would be appreciated

'About a month ago there was an intrusion into Fedora servers, and while the signing key for all packages was not compromised Fedora still decided to resign all packages with a new key as a security measure. A few days ago repositories with the new key have gone live. That leads to quite a few unresolved dependency problems if you're still using the default repositories on Acer Aspire One Linux, which are not updated anymore. To switch to the new repositories just use the command below which will enable updates-newkey and automatically get all new packages from there.'

sudo yum install fedora-release

hello!

i bought this aspire one laptop with a linpus linux lite OS. when i try to play a movie with an .avi files it didnt play with the mplayer which is already installed in my laptop.

which vlc player is suitable to linpus linux lite? pls help!

I have just bought an acer aspire one, and im using linpus and I am getting nowhere trying to get VLC to install.

after trying:
sudo rpm -ivh http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release-8.rpm
sudo yum install vlc

I get:

No Package vlc available
Nothing to do

Could it be the file is missing from the host? its really frustrating!

any alternatives?

Thanks for any help

Hi. I am new to Linpus as a result of receiving an Aspire One and I had exactly the same problem. However I discovered that this works:

$> su -
#> rpm -ivh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fed ... noarch.rpm
#> yum install vlc
#> yum install python-vlc mozilla-vlc (optionnals)

I am watching a Divx file as I type

Goodluck

Oh well, I guess my http line got shortened. Try this:

$> su -
#> rpm -ivh hxxp://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm (replace xx with tt)
#> yum install vlc
#> yum install python-vlc mozilla-vlc (optionnals)

Regards to all

Arrrg. Nothing is easy in this life. Try "download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm" after the http://

hello to all

Knows anyone something about this ?????????????
where i can see this code there is nothng in the manual?
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am also a Linux newbie, and the Acer Aspire One was my first linux machine. VLC was the most obvious first upgrade step, and I had all of the problems posted above. I seemed to be downloading, but yum reported nothing to do. By persistence with the various solutions and tips, I got VLC installed and running fine. Here's what did it for me:

rmcc in September posted about Fedora re-signing packages. He suggested running the following to get the new keys:

sudo yum install fedora-release

If this runs OK, then proceed to the download. This one worked for me:

rpm -ivh download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm

Then the install:

yum install vlc

All entries should be made in Terminal as Root. I know this may seem simplistic to post, but I had tried many variations from this forum and others with a yum "nothing to do" until I ran the above sequence. Hope this helps somebody.

Hi There;

I'm a total Linux newbie and I'd like to follow your lead but I don't understand where I should type these commands?

Hi. I followed all your instructions above, but here's the message I get:
Any ideas?

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.

Can you help me:

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.

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.
