the realplayer 10 does not work for my suse 9.2
 

hello
i am using suse 9.2 for two weeks. one of my problems is that when i click on realplayer 10 to open it... it seem to be trying to open it ( shows realplayer icon for some seconds) but aftre a few seconds the icon disappears and nothing happens ( realplayer does not open).
the same happens when i try to open a media link in internet by means of realplayer.

i checked in Yast and i saw it is installad.

please let me know if u have an idea
thanks , milad

the first thing to do is to try to launch it from the command line
and post any error messages you see

I am having the same problem. The kernel is 2.6.8-24.3
The bash output is: nothing...

A solution that i dont understnd is:

I've had RealPlayer 10 running successfully on Ubuntu (2.6.8), Mandrake10 (2.6.3), Fedora Core2 (2.6.5) and have NEVER had any problems with it at all.
On the contrary, it actually plays until I tell it to stop, as opposed to RP8 which was a buggy pos and wouldn't play for longer than 10-15mins without crashing or losing the signal.
It seems to work fine when put into /usr/local/RealPlayer.

i installed the real player again as below

r066210:/home/habib # rpm -ivh RealPlayer10GOLD.rpm
Preparing... ########################################### [100%]
1:RealPlayer ########################################### [100%]


and when i tried to run it as the root and then as myslelf this it the output


r066210:/home/habib # realplay
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: No protocol specified


** ERROR **: Unable to open display
aborting...
/usr/bin/realplay: line 75: 28577 Aborted $REALPLAYBIN "$@"
r066210:/home/habib # exit
exit
habib@r066210:~> realplay

habib@r066210:~> realplay http://www.rferl.org/realaudio/c21.ram

and after a long time a / appeared at the end and no play!
now what u think guys?... is it an error of installing or what..

which terminal/shell are you using?

you shouldn't be getting the "unable to open display" msg

I would also suggest you go get the .bin file rather than an rpm.

go for the RealPlayer10GOLD.bin from this page
https://helixcommunity.org/project/s...p?group_id=154

I haven't had any problems with this build as yet.

Install as root
./Real*
Give it /usr/local/RealPlayer as it's installation target.
Then once it's installed, fire it up once to get the browser helpers setup.

as user;

password

Post the output here.

i am working in a normal shell (not a linux shell or so...)
i have downloded the files from ww.real.com/linux. i think it is reliable enough

i tried installing the .bin file

i had to work as the Root.i gave the installation address as : /usr/local/RealPlayer
then it asked me

configure system-wide symbolic links [y/n]...

Enter the prefix for symbolic links [/usr]


i did not know how to reply it
when i said no nothing was installed
when i said yes i didnt know what to say for the second question ! (
Enter the prefix for symbolic links [/usr]...)

So did you install as root (since /usr/local requires root permissions)?

I would answer the question with 'yes' and accept the defaults. But you may also install the realplayer into your homedirectory (e.g. if you have only one user on your system). Then you do not need to work as root at all.

hi Harryc
this is what i got

The command is export DISPLAY=:0.0

You forgot the :

hi abisko00...
thanks for ur comment.
maybe it is changed in suse 9.2 (i have this)...but i dont have access to many directories as a normal user! although there is only one user.
in the X-environment i also can not open many folders becoz they are permitted only for the Root!

now i have :

What is the result of the following command;
