Can we watch dvd movies on fedora 12

[sysmicuser]

I just inserted one and it gave me some error message, so i guess we cant but i still feel there must be some or the other way?

Did you install the necessary codecs as outlined here:

Hi,

I tried to install package as advised by you, infact I tried a bit before but couldnt be through, I get message as follows:
Loaded Pluginsresto, refresh-packagekit
http:.....repomd.cl:[Errno 14] PYCURL Error 6 - " "
Try other mirror.
Errorannot retireve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: fedora.
Please verify its path and try again.

Now, unfortunately my 3 mobile broadband is not working on fedora 12 but i have burn iso image of fedora 12 dvd image.

Please advise,

Thanks

I think that it is difficult to make it any simpler:

Come on Sir, we can make it happen, we have full energy and enthusiasm

By the way I copied the autoten and pasted in /tmp and then did

yum install [rpmfile name] and it gave me same error.

Don't know where I am making mistake.

Thanks for your help

@sysmicuser: it looks very much like you have no internet connection. The program 'yum' downloads packages, so needs an internet connection to work.

Just FYI:
Why me must resort to third party repositories for DVD playback:

How yum works (yes, you need an internet connection for it to work; it downloads packages from repositories):

See also the mjmwired link in my signature.

(Also, for future reference, saying "it gave me some error message" is not very descriptive. It helps to actually state the error, even though in this case the problem was easy to identify.)

Wonderful and Thanks

@marriedto51 ,Yes you are right, I do not have internet connection.I use "3" mobile broadband internet and I seriously don't know why I am unable to connect to internet! I can see all the wireless connection then why not my usb stick one!? anyway I go to VPN configure and there I am trying to add but still unsuccessful.

@tjvanwyk Yep, I liked the article and wonderful yum information page.

I think there are many, many threads about internet connection issues. I think what I've had to do in F11 and 12, was put the IP addresses for my dns provider (Opendns) in the /etc/hosts: 208.67.222.222 opendns or possibly just your local access IP (i.e. 192.168.0.1) Or if you're using Network Manager then edit the wired or wireless connection, and on the IPv4 tab select 'Automatic (DHCP) addresses only and enter the primary DNS server IP. That will generate /etc/resolv.conf which in my case looks like:

# cat /etc/resolv.conf
# Generated by NetworkManager
nameserver 208.67.222.222

If that doesn't get you online, it could be wireless driver issues or something else. Lots of threads on those issues, too...

[sysmicuser]

Thank you so much bro for your reply, need to look on that

Cheers

Sometimes the simpler solutions are in front of us. Why don't you just check the drivers/updates for your wireless network card. Try giving us some info on that.
