You need to become su (in a terminal) and type rpm -ivvh xmms-mp3*.rpm You could open it with rpm I guess, but then you'd need to be root to install it systemwide.

Corona Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 just use up2date to get mp3 support for this type this into terminal # up2date xmms-mp3 gstreamer-plugins-mp3 libmad libid3tag after installing finished do this One thing you'll need to do is fire up xmms and go to Options -> Preferences then choose Audio I/O Plugins. In that list scroll down and find the MPEG Layer 1/2/3 Placeholder Plugin and disable it. Then enable the new plug-in you just downloaded which is listed as MPEG Layer 1/2/3 Player. Now MP3s should play just fine. Source: FC 2 Tips It worked for me :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boomn Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 ^Best solution. You have to add another repository to the yum list first. From the same page: Edit /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources and add: yum livna-stable http://rpm.livna.org/fedora/2/i386/yum/stable/ apt fedora-us-stable-fc2 http://download.fedora.us fedora/fedora/2/i386 stable Then you'll be able to add alot of extra software directly from up2date Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JadeWolf324 Posted August 12, 2004 Author Share Posted August 12, 2004 i use apt now, yum was so slow for me. @N@t5> will any of those work for apt/synaptic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boomn Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 Yeah the second one is a pretty big apt repository. Fedora.US started as a group making extra packages for Red Hat linux products. When Red Hat decided to make a community version, they merged with the Fedora Linux Project and created... Fedora Core! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
