hi all,

i followed the instructions here:

http://www.mepis.org/node/8555

to get mplayer up and running.

when i try and synaptic mozilla-mplayer, i get the following errors:

mozilla-mplayer:
Depends: mplayer (>= 1.0-pre5) or
mplayer-custom (>=1.0-pre5) but it is not installable or
mplayer-386 but it is not going to be installed or
mplayer-586 but it is not going to be installed or
mplayer-686 (>=1.0-pre5) but it is not installable or
mplayer-k6 but it is not going to be installed or
mplayer-k7 (>=1.0-pre5) but it is not installable or
mplayer-powerpc (>=1.0-pre5) but it is not installable or
mplayer-g4 (>=1.0-pre5) but it is not installable or
mplayer-amd64 (>=1.0-pre5) but it is not installable or
mplayer-nogui but it is not going to be installed

what am i doing wrong?

tia...

for one thing u need to pick the one that fits ur machine.like the powerpc is a laptop,the i386 and 586 and 686 are intel chips,i dont know what the k6 and k7 is or g4.maybe some one else can help too.

the link i posted said to download mozilla mplayer. i saw this is synaptic, so that's what i tried to download.

i just tried to download mplayer for 386 (my type of intel chip) and i got the following error(s):

mplayer-386:
Depends: libavcodeccvs51 but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libavutilcvs49 but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libogg0 (>=1.1.3) but 1.1.2-1 is to be installed
Depends: libpango1.0-0 (>=1.10.3) but 1.10.2-1 is to be installed
Depends: libpostproccvs51 but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libvorbis0a (>=1.1.2) but 1.1.0-1 is to be installed
Depends: libxvmc1 but it is not installable

if i had to guess, i'd say that my repositories don't have the required packages. i have the followin grepositories enabled:

http://apt.mepis.org/3.4/
ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/

am i missing a repository?

thanks for the assistance.

the nerim repo should be the one to have mplayer.im trying to think what all i did when i installed it.its been awhile.maybe someone with more experiance could jump in and help too i would appreciate it.

i did it before upgrading to to the new version of mepis. it went fine before. it didn't go fine this time.

ftp://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/

wasn't enabled in my repository list, so i guess i didn't have access to the dependencies.

i enabled it and it works fine. i guess it wasn't enabled in the initial install b/c i'm sure i didn't disable it.

well im not sure why it wont work.im sure some one with more knowledge then me can help u better.

never mind my last post then :-)

It seems to be installed by default in SM 3.4-3.

It has kplayer based on Mplayer.

Try installing the latest MEPIS
