You will need to add additional rpm repositories to your yum configuration.

The tool I use for music is xmms. I got it from http://free.rpmfusion.org/
Just get the yum rpm from the site and type (as root)
Code:

yum install xmms.i386 xmms-mp3.i386
For videos I use vlc (also from rpmfusion)
Code:

yum install vlc

what to do sir please help me.................

mobinskariya 08-19-2009 01:01 PM

i think some package manager is running.. close the pakage manager and then try the commands again.

Come on, he told you what you're looking for and if you can get here, you have Google. Search for RPM Fusion and get what's there. Post again if you have trouble with that, but the instructions are pretty straightforward. Don't be helpless.

Once you have RPM Fusion, you may still run into that yum problem. Try giving it a minute for the other process to finish.

from http://rpmfusion.org/Configuration:
Code:

su -c 'rpm -Uvh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-stable.noarch.rpm http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release.rpm'
su -c 'yum install mplayer vlc libdvdread libdvdnav libdvdcss xine xine-ui xine-lib'

then you can use mplayer/ xine/ vlc, ... to play most media formats

he could also run 'killall -9 packagegit' and then run the yum commands?

karamarisan 08-19-2009 01:19 PM

Ehh, don't start with -9, especially not with yum and yum-related programs. That's a great way to start leaving half-files all over your system. OP: don't run kill without reading the manpage thoroughly!

ankit123 08-19-2009 01:39 PM

i have installed rpm fusion now it is showing an dialog box "waiting for other tasks"written over it and some processing is going on from last 5-6 mins.

mushroomboy 08-19-2009 04:41 PM

Try rebooting the computer
