Realplayer just won't work!


I installed Ubuntu but theres one thing that just won't work!

I added the extra repositries and apt-getted realplayer and everything went fine.

The problem is it simply won't start when I click on the icon. When I type realplay at a terminal, it just sits there and does nothing not even displaying an error! Is there something I missed during installation? Is there an alternative way of installing it?

Does it give an error message if you try to run it from a terminal?

Try installing the *bin file from the realplayer website.
