Slackware :: 13.1 - Compatible DVD Player Program That Will Work
Jun 9, 2011
I tried playing a movie on the computer and nothing happened. Thats when I figured out I don't have a program to play the movie so my question is what dvd player program is good? Also is the source and slackbuild going to be on the slackbuild website so I can download it? The reason I ask the last question is because I tried to install swiftfox and opera but they don't have the source or slackbuild for them. For an older version of opera they did have the slackbuild and source but not the new one.
I was going to get a player that would be compatible with rockbox, but instead I wound up with a coby 707 mp3 player. It's nice enough but dragging and dropping is all I can do to get music on it. I was wondering if there is a way to manually create a playlist and pop it in with the music files?
I need to know which version of flashplayer I need to instal for ubuntu 9.10. when I go to adobe and hit install, i have to choose which version I want for linux. Which one is needed for ubuntu 9.10?
I am looking for a good mp3 player. I obviously dislike apple n windows so I wont buy an iPod or Zune player. Now I am wondering if any of you had good experience with any other mp3 player on Ubuntu. The two things I want are firstly a product of high quality n functionality like those two mentioned above AND secondly a seamless ubuntu compatibility. I'd love to see synchronization and stuff working out of the box. Anyone out there found a outstanding product and like to give a recommendation?
I have tried to download vlc media player but the file type is a .exe file which is a windows file, and that wont run or even open on the linux system. How to find a compatable vlc for linux!
so with every language I have used, I have found that my style of programming is sub par (terrible at times). I have worked with a good amount of languages lately including bash, C, Java, JavaScript/jQuery, Perl, PHP, Shakespeare, Zombie, etc. I have done a good amount of programming, and in the end they seem to work, but just looking like a piece hacked together. Does anyone know of any books or online guides that help with programming styles and advancement of such?
i just installed debian squeeze today and i was trying to install a program and when trying to install a .deb file and i got the error message "Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: libcurl3" when i searched the repos i found "libcurl3-gnutls" is there any real diffrence between libcurl3 and libcurl3-gnutls? and is there a way i could edit the .deb installer to change the dependancy to make the program compatible with libcurl3-gnutls?
Is there a linux compatible program for tracking a stolen laptop? I tried Prey, but I can't get it installed and working. Something that works for the non-uber geek?
I've got: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller as vga screen, and I would like to be able to change brightness and contrast.
Nobody else seems to be reporting this, so I guess it's down to my setup in some way, but when I run vim from a konsole window under KDE 4.3.3, I find that the konsole screen messes up during the session (feels as if it is writing with background colour on the background or something) and even when you leave vim by typing the right exit commands, display remains upset (most often confined to leftmost 20-30 columns). Konsole "clear and reset" does not help, I have to close the session and start a new instance.
Maybe connected to the konsole settings I use which are "black on light yellow"?
Should I have something in by .vimrc or konsole configuration to fix this ?
Hate to say it but 13.37 has too many issues for me to be considered compatible and stable. While it is a nice release, there are too many issues with how the system handles itself for my tastes to be considered usable without a severe fight that I do not wish to continue on with. I do ask that the developers of Slackware, if they do indeed read this, please take into consideration that 13.1 support needs to be extended until the next version can come out that has the same levels of stability and ease of use 13.1 has. Not to be negative, but 13.37 did feel a bit BETA.
I noticed there's a new JRE in town, the upgrade 20, I still use the 13. What will the up to 20 do for the software I write? I use openJDK (came with the Fedora I use) to write software, and the JRE to use it in the browser, I needed to see the Java console, hence the need for the Sun JRE...
So: bottomline: if I upgrade to the new JRE - use the alternatives configurator to use that in the browser, will the software written in the current JDK (1.6) still work? Or: is Java downward compatible?
PS : I dont use anything fancy, just RMI, mySQL connectivity and a bit of Swing...
I have a problem with real prayer, though it works fine, sometimes it stops. I cannot run the program without restarting my computer. I tried to re-download but its just the same.
I went to watch a short little clip on ..... and it said I needed flash 10 so I downloaded that and the problem is, is that when I tar the file there was only one other file in the tarball which was libflashplayer.so. Would I need to download the source for that and the slackbuild if its got one. I am having difficulty trying to download anything it says to select a mirror and go from there but how do you uncomment a mirror? I cant even update my computer. I am using slackware 13.1 64 bit.
I have a fairly fresh install of Slackware and I just installed the flash plugin for Firefox. After installing the flash plugin, I'm able to view videos, but I'm unable to hear any sound.
- Pidgin also does not play sound
- Amarok plays sound fine
- Other KDE system event sounds play fine (i.e. starting and leaving X)
- I used alsaconf to configure my sound as it wasn't working right after the Slackware install
Ok downloaded the SlackBuild script to install flash. I download the the files to go with it and ran the script. The script creates a .tgz in my tmp folder and I install it. After I install it I close out of my browser and re-open to check flash and every website I goto tells me flash is not installed I am a little confoobared with this?
Using Pentium4, snd_hda_intel, Codec Realtek ALC880, slackware64 13.1, No Gnome, firefox3.6.8 with flashplayer. Is is possible to replace Flashplayer with mplayerplug-in? Followed this a ubuntu tutorial:[URL]..community/SoundTroubleshooting to identify Sound Device using:
Code: $wget -O alsa-info.sh http://alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && bash ./alsa-info.sh Tested sound by running gxine wizard which set it up as a plugin. Also ran mplayer but there was no wizard for firefox plugin both play sound. Used slackpkg to download mplayerplugin and pkgtool to install it. Where is mplayerplugin suposed to be installed? ***Found Mplayerplug-in... Pkgtool installed it right into Tools -> Addons-> Plugins intoo firefox... So i am going to disable Flashplayer and see what happens Thought I had to mannually configure it?
I have followed the instructions at http://www.vcn.bc.ca/~dugan/setting-up-slackware.html (under "Making Firefox Perfect"), but I still get the error message"Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (rtsp) isn't associated with any program."
installing flash player I am running ubuntu 10.04 LTS It says that flash player is installed (flash plugin-nonfree is installed but i still cant watch any videos in you tube
My liteon dvd player won't work in fedora. I use xine to play movies and it doesn't even recognize the DVD-the error message is the specified dvd is not found. Is there anything I can install to play dvds on the liteon that will help recognize the disc?
I'm trying to watch a DVD video using Movie Player, but nothing happens. It asked for a MPEG-2 decoder but then said Gstream already had the decoder. But to be sure I hunted down some rpm files with a free MPEG-2 decoder and installed them. Nothing happened. Before that, Movie Player asked for an Advanced Stream Format Demuxer. Then it told me it was already installed. I tried to uninstall Gstream. Maybe it was installed badly for reasons unknown, but the uninstaller warned that it would take 50 files with it.
I got the impression it was daring me to uninstall Gstream, so I chickened out. But I am upset now. This problem has wasted half of my Saturday day off and it is still not solved. I forgot to say I had also installed libdvdcss, in desperation. Nothing happened. This computer does display DVD videos with Movie Player using a different distro. I'm not surprised Fedora has problems. But you figure by 2011, watching a DVD video should be no problem by now in any distribution.
