removing realplayer10gold (binary installer)
I give up. There is no information on the realplayer site, none on this forum. I fear this is a pretty stupid question, but still.
I installed the realplayer10gold.bin on a fresh ubuntu 6.06 amd64 system. http://www.real.com/player/?src=realplayer As a result Firefox crashes randomly. (doesn't seem to be related to realplayer in any other way, than that it was solid before the install.)
So... the only thing I can think of, is to locate the realplayer files, and remove everything that comes up
Code:
roman@roman-desktop:~/RealPlayer$ locate realplayer
/usr/share/app-install/desktop/realplayer.desktop
/usr/share/app-install/icons/realplayer-icon.xpm
/usr/share/icons/crystalsvg/16x16/apps/realplayer.png
/usr/share/icons/crystalsvg/32x32/apps/realplayer.png
/usr/share/icons/crystalsvg/scalable/apps/realplayer.svgz
/usr/share/ubuntu-docs/ubuntu/menus/C/realplayer.xml
roman@roman-desktop:~/RealPlayer$
Would that make sense?
PS: I just want to know how to remove it, not how to fix it. I've always hated it. But I can't get mplayer to play the files, that's the only reason I gave it a shot.
PS PS: I know I should solve the realmedia thing with dchroot and the i386 plugins, but I'm too lazy to learn that right now.

it could be realplaer's plugins in firefox's plugin directory causing firefox to crash, is may be possible for you to remove the plugin so realplayer wont interfear with firefox, i would try that first if you want to keep realplayer too...

I edited the PS in seconds before your post .
Nevermind Realplayer works on it's own, so I might try removing just the plugin.
And now for the "find the firefox plugin folder in less than an hour" mini-howto...
I tried
$ sudo find / -iname real\* > /tmp/findreal
$ grep "firefox" /tmp/findreal
$ grep "plugin" /tmp/findreal
no luck
This isn't a nice solution, but I'm not so fast on my feet.
I forgot how to use the time argument... apparently
Code:
$ sudo find / ~ -mmin 200 -name \*
find: /proc/10470/task/10470/fd/4: No such file or directory
find: /proc/10470/fd/4: No such file or directory

alright, deleted the realplayer plugins (or the links, or what ever those two are) Same problem. So I remove the tomtem plugins too (removed with apt)... same problem
This always happens when I open a realmedia file, but it crashes so easily, and also happens after a while without clicking a realmedia link (with the same output), that I can't say this is what triggers it.
Code:
$ firefox
LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library libXt.so [libXt.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory]
LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library libXext.so [libXext.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory]
Segmentation fault
...and crashes
[rant]
goddammit!
I'm telling everyone not to install the 64 bit versions of anything, but I have to reassure myself over and over again!
[/rant]

after doing a quick google for both libXt & libXest i see they are both part of Xorg, that is odd that launching a link from within firefox that is suppsosed to launch realplayer (either embedded or external) would even need to access anything to do with X, like it is trying to go beyond its proper protocol and do something nasty to people's computers...

I read elswhere that people got that error after installing the java plugin. But I didn't intall it.
Anyhow, I give up. I'm now inside the dapper dake i386 live/install cd, reinstalling. I decided to reinstall now, than after spending even more time on it.
If anyone knows a nice way to install and remove stuff with .bin installers though... I'd be thankful
