Re: VLC - Roadblock B 64 (cont.) Thinking about this I would have removed using the default repos using aptitude, then enabled the community and multimedia repos and tried to install using synaptic, if that did not work then switch to trying to install using aptitude.
But the problem has been addressed, in a different manor,  _________________ *Never be afraid to try something new. Remember that a lone amateur built the Ark.

Re: VLC - Roadblock B 64 (cont.) As of right now one of the temporary workarounds is to launch VLC with the command: cvlc
This can be done from the klaunchers: "run command" Beyond that I'm not too terribly inclined to continue hacking away at this problem with both VLC 2.0 and Warren's Mepis 11.5 betas on the horizon. _________________ Slow, lazy, but still around: Call me if ya need help http://zerias.blogspot.com http://www.mepisguides.com Biting the Bullet: Help Want to buy Mepis Based Computer?

Re: VLC - Roadblock B 64 (cont.) I did a trial run first on my new E320 notebook, found the failings, then rebuilt it.
Load the system install 3.1.01 kernel from Stevo, reboot. Kernel available from Post # 286254 by Stevo. http://www.mepiscommunity.org/forum/vie ... f&start=30 enable all CR , multimedia, Mepis, teharris and backports, the do a full upgrade, which takes care of the xserver, firefox, & vlc Install Thunderbird, cheese, more multimedia stuff and a few utils. No faults whatsoever, everything works as I would expect.

Re: VLC - Roadblock B 64 (cont.)
Which should be interesting considering.
Which would be KDE 4.8.4 _________________ *Never be afraid to try something new. Remember that a lone amateur built the Ark. A large group of professionals built the Titanic(Windoze)* Kubuntu KDE 4.10.2 / Debian Wheezy-Experimental KDE 4.10.2 / Plasma Active 3 Tablet |

Re: VLC - Roadblock B 64 (cont.)
Agreed that is interesting, but I will be surprised if WW gets 4.8.4 into M11.5 - more likely to be in M12? BTW did you notice this rather ominous bit from the same source?

Re: VLC - Roadblock B 64 (cont.) For those wondering who GuiGuy was quoting: http://raphaelhertzog.com/2012/02/10/pe ... -kde-team/
She's just one person on the Debian/KDE team. If she decides to focus her attention elsewhere somebody else will likely step up to take her place, so I would be very hesitant to cast her comment in a "ominous" manner. _________________ Slow, lazy, but still around: Call me if ya need help http://zerias.blogspot.com http://www.mepisguides.com Biting the Bullet: Help Want to buy Mepis Based Computer?

Clarified my post to indicate I was referring to GuiGuy's quote. _________________ Slow, lazy, but still around: Call me if ya need help http://zerias.blogspot.com http://www.mepisguides.com Biting the Bullet: Help Want to buy Mepis Based Computer? Ask me! http://bit.ly/fbs47I |
