iam unable to install vlc using yum command ....
its giving me error that /etc/pulse/codec.config file conflict is there.

wat to do now?

try: rpm -qf /etc/pulse/codec.config
It will tell which package is owning the file.
Maybe you will have to choose between this package and vlc or temporarily remove the package.

First, anytime you ask a question tell us what distro you are using. Such as F8 64bit.

It looks like you are mixing repos (generally a bad idea). Please post the results of "yum repolist".

copy/paste the full yum error.

also check here:

i do not know if you are using Fedora or not, but i guess you are.

ya im using fedora 8 ...i had installed vlc earlier using the same method ..that is after installin livine i typed yum install vlc...


but after i formated my lap ...its not getting installed ....
i formatted my lap again to check whether there is any problem with formatting but still no use...

initially yum is installing everythin from the net but afterwards iam getting this error...

Re-read the thread.
Post the output of rpm -qf /etc/pulse/codec.config and of yum repolist.

Error Summary

when i did rpm -qf /etc/pulse/client.conf and of yum repolist
i got this

pulseaudio-libs-0.9.7-0.17.svn20071017.fc8
pulseaudio-libs-0.9.7-0.17.svn20071017.fc8

Two separate commands. You are going to have to learn to be careful to follow instructions with linux. Even things like case (R Vs r) will dramatically change the meaning of a command.

out put of yum repolist is


repo id repo name status
InstallMedia Fedora 8 enabled
fedora Fedora 8 - x86_64 enabled
livna Livna for Fedora Core 8 - x86_64 - Base enabled
updates Fedora 8 - x86_64 - Updates enabled

I'm having the same problem, is there a solution?

well the proglem is solved now..
actually i had installed 64 bit version of fedora on my lap which is a 32 bit machine..
i removed it and installed i386 version of fedora which is 32 bit version..
now i did the same thing i.e. yum install vlc and it got installed within no time..

I have 64 bit cpu and loaded 64 bit fedora-8, still I have faced same problem. Later I figured out that it's because of library conflict.
By removing pulseaudio-lib from installation and then installing vlc solved the problem for me. Try this..
<yum remove pulseaudio-lib>
and then install vlc ..
<yum install vlc>

k thanx a lot sir...

this is the solution for yum install vlc dependency error, sorry i posted in wrong thread and i can't delete this

http://www.rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2htm...ibfribidi.so.0

download fribidi-0.19.2-2.fc12.i686.rpm

rpm -ivh fribidi-0.19.2-2.fc12.i686.rpm

yum install vlc

It should work now

Note: you can't launch vlc from root account
