in the X-environment i also can not open many folders becoz they are permitted only for the Root!

That is how it is supposed to be in all Linux systems! That's why I suggested to set a directory in your homedirectory for the installation of the realplayer. Otherwise you'll have to run the .bin as root.

OK, try one more command;

Code:

# kde-config --prefix

milad126 · 11-15-2004, 08:35 AM

ok. i did that:

Code:

r066210:/home/habib # kde-config --prefix
bash: kde-config: command not found
r066210:/home/habib #

You are missing part of KDE, Did you do an upgrade on your own?

milad126 · 11-15-2004, 08:48 AM

mmm...i updated my system during the last days to overcome this problem. i installed some new things from the CDs and also i installed some new things from Yast online update. but i dont remember i had deleted a package or something.

hey... when i ran this as not Root, i got:

Code:

habib@r066210:~> which kde-config
/opt/kde3/bin/kde-config
habib@r066210:~>

What you observerd is normal, as root I cannot start kde-config without giving the full path, either. Maybe for security reasons, the path is not contained in root's path variable.

EDIT: Why do you want to run realplayer as root? I may have missed the point, but it shouldn't be necessary. Only the installer (.bin) may needs to be run as root (but not if you follow my suggestion

)

It is NOT normal.

harryc@linux:~> which kde-config
/opt/kde3/bin/kde-config

And what do you want to tell us by this? I said already, that it works fine as user!?!

Do you get the same error when you run it as user?

this is what i get as user and then as the root:

Code:

habib@r066210:~> realplay

habib@r066210:~> su
Password:
r066210:/home/habib # realplay
sh: kde-config: command not found
sh: kde-config: command not found

EDIT:actually when i run as user it does nothing just stops and doesn't either give a result or a commanline

as i have installed and removed realplayer quite a lot of times to get it working maybe it nice for u to know where is all realplay files are located:

Code:

r066210:/ # whereis realplay
realplay: /usr/bin/realplay /usr/share/realplay.png /usr/share/realplay.xml /usr/share/realplay.keys /usr/share/realplay.mime /usr/share/realplay.applications /usr/share/realplay.desktop /usr/share/realplay
r066210:/ #

do u think its a good idea to remove al the folders containing realplay and install it again or it is stupid and not the solution?

Just a guess here, give read and execute access to 'others' and 'group' for the file kde-config. The owner and group should be root and have read, write, execute.; Do this as root.

Code:

# chmod 755 /opt/kde3/bin/kde-config

All that I am saying is that for me, 'which kde-config' works as user and root.
