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 Code:
yum install vlc |
problem
sir,the link http://free.rpmfusion.org/ is not opening.
|
try the above commands given by wolfperkins..
|
sir,the link http://free.rpmfusion.org/ is not opening.and
when i typed the command yum install vlc it responded like this "Another app is currently holding the yum lock; waiting for it to exit... The other application is: PackageKit Memory : 91 M RSS (102 MB VSZ) Started: Wed Aug 19 22:15:23 2009 - 1:11:10 ago State : Sleeping, pid: 2861 " |
what to do sir please help me.................
|
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' |
he could also run 'killall -9 packagegit' and then run the yum commands?
|
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!
|
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.
|
Try rebooting the computer
