SAME RESULT, NO PACKAGE VLC AVAILABLE. I'VE BEEN INSTALLING IT FOR A WEEK NOW... PLEASE HELP!!!!

What distro? VLC is packaged for most, without getting it from any other source.

Looks like Fedora to me.

Fedora, O.K. are the repos set up in the package manager?

for fedora did you fallow this "help page" ?
http://www.mjmwired.net/resources/mj...l#mediaplayers
and for rmpFusion
http://www.mjmwired.net/resources/mj...a-f10.html#yum

just use " su - " once and not sudo

and from this error
it looks like you might have the "rawhide" TESTING running and not fedora 10
can you post the output of

As far I can see, you have dependencies problem. Maybe you should update your repository first. After that these 3 lines should work.

$> su -
#> rpm -ivh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/...ble.noarch.rpm
#> yum install vlc


P.S. Do not use sudo! You are a su already ...
Vas

will you help me on "repository" i have no idea how to update/install that...

Try
# yum update

and see if any errors occur. You should run the above command as a su.
If you got no errors then continue with
# yum upgrade

to upgrade every package in Fedora's repository

HI!

Thanks for your reply. Do i have to update it in the PACKAGE MANAGER? or in the TERMINAL?

the terminal and what version of fedora are you using ? and did you fallow the links i posted above .

Hi judith,

Please have a look at how I configured vlc in rhel 5, that should work for fedora too....or else go to rpmforge and find out...hope this helps:

http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...hel5.0-724171/

heres the result...

[root@localhost ~]# yum repolist
repo id repo name status
fedora Fedora 8 - i386 enabled
livna Livna for Fedora Core 8 - i386 - Base enabled
updates Fedora 8 - i386 - Updates enabled
updates-newkey Fedora 8 - i386 - Updates Newkey enabled
[root@localhost ~]#

now you are finally telling us that you are using fedora 8

Fedora 8 is NO LONGER supported and the rpms have been moved into the archives or the mirrors lolonger are working ( some might be still up and running ,but not all of them)

and using the fedora 10 rpmfusion repo file WILL NOT work on fedora 8

two things you can do

UNINSTALL any fedora 10 rpms that might have been installed on fedora 8 .and use a version of fedora that has NO MORE UPDATES , on SECURITY FIXES , and no new programs to install .Unless you build them from the source code .

or install the current fedora 11

Do i have to reinstall my laptop? if not, how will i uninstall fedora 10 rpms? how will i download/install fedora 11 and uninstall the existing fedora? is fedora 8 obsolete already? please help...

Do i have to reinstall my laptop? if not, how will i uninstall fedora 10 rpms? how will i download fedora 8? is fedora 8 obsolete already?
