why does it say no package mplayer available? Btw when i do yum for some other package it does work.. and why is the problem with temprary failure in name resolution?

I believe you need the Livna repository to get mplayer. If I'm correct, then to add the Livna repo simply open a terminal, log in as root and type the following, one at a time:

Code:

rpm --import /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/*
rpm -ivh http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release-8.rpm
rpm --import /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-livna

That done, now you can try

Code:

yum install mplayer

Well you will need to disable all the repo's listed above apart from these. ( disable all the repo's highlighted )

fedora Fedora 8 - i386 enabled
updates Fedora 8 - i386 - Updates enabled

after editing the repo's

Code:

su
yum clean all

post

Code:

yum repolist

After the repo's are sorted I will give you the commands to swap the F9 packages for F8 ( you have started to update to Rawhide

)

netsecure · #7 6th April 2008, 03:22 PM

hey thanks for the help? But are you really sure i need to do all this just to get mplayer installed? I just want to install mplayer why do you think i should disable all the repos? And you are saying that i should swap F9 pacakages for F8? I am sorry i am pretty igonrant on all this and i might be wrong but i dont think you got my original problem

.
Thanks

Your original problem is insignificant compared to the mess you will have unless you disable the repo's that I listed above !!!

Well before mplayer you will need to swap the F9 packages ( they will cause problems )

Code:

su
yum install yum-utils
mkdir rpm
yumdownloader conglomerate libcaca aalib-libs gtksourceview
rpm -U --oldpackage --replacefiles --replacepkgs *rpm

Post any errors

also post

Code:

rpm -q conglomerate libcaca aalib-libs gtksourceview

Next post I will give instructions for mplayer !!

leigh123linux · #11 6th April 2008, 03:51 PM

For mplayer + plugins and a Gnome frontend

Code:

su
wget http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release-8.rpm
rpm -Uvh livna-release-8.rpm
yum install mplayer mplayer-gui gnome-mplayer gecko-mediaplayer

Try

Code:

su
yumdownloader aalib-libs
rpm -U --oldpackage --replacefiles --replacepkgs  aalib-libs*rpm

and post

Code:

rpm -q aalib-libs

You really need to fix your internet connection !! so that yum can work properly
