Which LINUX???

1. Is that the graphics adapter? If yes, then are you getting GUI? If yes, then which drivers are you searching for?
2. See the sticky thread on multimedia
3 Configure it as root

Suse 10.2 works fine with Airtel GPRS, it also included the drivers for my Nokia 6681. All I had to do was configure a dial up connection to dial *99# with abcd as the user name and password.

1. *www.mjmwired.net/resources/mjm-fedora-fc6.html

2. Answered many times in the forum. Please search.

3. untar the archive using the following command

$ tar -xvzf filename.tar.gz

or

$ tar -xvjf filename.tar.bz2

now go into the directory

$ cd dirname

now follow the commands

$ ./configure
once successfully finished

$ make
once successfully finished

$ su

$ make install

This is a generic solution. Please read the README or INSTALL file more specific installation instructions.

 

[mehulved]

But why do you want to compile anything in the first place?

Let i have the directory named MPlayer, then with that name explain me how to install.
And tell me how to use YUM also.

Let the filename be Mplayer-0.9.5.tar.gz

$ tar -xvzf Mplayer-0.9.5.tar.gz

$ cd Mplayer-0.9.5

$ ./configure

$ make

$ su

$ make install

But again, this is a generic solution. Please read the README or INSTALL file more specific installation instructions and configuration options.

But as you're a newbie, i suppose, i suggest you to use CheckInstall or GNU Source Installer for installing software from source.

For your second query regarding yum:

$ man yum

 

[mehulved]

If you try to install from source then you might face dependancy problems. If you don't mind messing around then go ahead otherwise just use yum to get mplayer.

Isn't there anyway to install plugins except Internet.
Thats why LINUX is far behind WINDOWS, coz when freshly installed it can't play any media file!!

So, what can we do? Go and abolish the patent system or ask the copyright holders of those codecs to release it under a GPL compliant license.

Brother why are you angry with me?
I just wnna say that if we can install codecs from web via YUM then why not they send it with the package.
Coz the package is more than 2GB!
In this case Fedora is better than OpenSuSE.

 

[mehulved]

You can't bundle these packages in free distros cos of problems with copyrights. Be ready to pay for it. Get paid distros, they will include all these in the distro itself.
Or try to find distros created/maintained by small companies/individuals. They are able to bundle such codecs as they aren't likely to get sued. Free versions of suse, FC, mandriva and all can't bundle proprietory codecs. All GPL compatible codecs are bundled in. Convert all your music to ogg vorbis and all your videos to ogg theora you will not need to download any extra codecs.

I'm using Fedora Core 6, will converting my music files to .ogg work?

 

[The Outsider]

it will work but best thing to do is check the link given by Desertwind and install Audacious
*www.mjmwired.net/resources/mjm-fedora-fc6.html

its like a 3MB download.

I've installed MPlayer, but it is not being shown in applications. What will AUDACIOUS do? How to install it?

 

[The Outsider]

become root and enable repos

rpm --import /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/*
rpm -ivh *rpm.livna.org/livna-release-6.rpm
rpm --import *rpm.livna.org/RPM-LIVNA-GPG-KEY

then issue this command, it will take some time to check repos

yum install audacious audacious-plugins-nonfree*

it will play mp3, wma, ogg, wav, aac and wav by default.

btw, its all mentioned there, you should read man pages and other documents, linux is not a piece of cake.
