Can't Play Mp3s On Rh9

[DWk]

Hello. Ok, bare wit me I got a lil rusty on linux. I just installed RH9, got NTFS support for it, transferred some mp3s from the ntfs to my home folder, and when I try to play them, nothing happens. I've googled, saw a few of the same, but no solution.

Any ideas?
Thanks :)

Grap this xmms mp3 rpm (http://www.gurulabs.com/files/xmms-mp3-1.2.7-13.p.i386.rpm). Log in as root or su from a terminal.

type in:


rpm -ivh xmms-mp3-1.2.7-13.p.i386.rpm

That should add mp3 support to your xmms. :)

Bleh wish everything was that easy :rolleyes:

Now that we are here.... is there a way to transfer my favorites in windows to RH?

[shn]

Mount the drive. Then import the bookmarks with your Linux browser. :)

[DWk]

Same extensions?

[shn]

What extensions? Just import the bookmarks just like you would on Windows. :)

.url

The ones located in the favorites folder in windows.... I see no way of adding them in Mozilla (yes, I tried the import utility, but it adds only .xhtml files)

It&#39;s really not that complicated. Open up a the .url file with a text editor, copy and paste the url&#39;s to another file and save it as whatever format the browser uses. Btw, Mozilla imports a lot more than .xhtml.

Strange, all this talking and you never even told me what browser you were using nor what mp3 player. There are tons for both.


If all else fails then use Konqueror it has an explicit option for adding ie favorites. :)

Keke :D

XMMS and Mozilla.

I have yet to try lots of things. Any idea for a video player?

I&#39;ll be updating that soon. :)

Nice links....

Well I&#39;m having more than JUST simple problems with it. Mostly when I&#39;m trying to compile the programs (or at least just ./configure, make, etc.).

Most times it tells me I&#39;m missing libs, and I installed almost EVERYTHING with RH (because I had the same problems before).

Any ideas where I can get libs I need?

Thanks :)

:frusty: You&#39;ve had Linux for all of a day and you&#39;re already trying to compile programs.

Download binaries.

[DWk]

No binaries for the programs ;)

I have had experience with Linux before, I&#39;m just a little rusty. :01:

Type ./configure --help

It will give you a list of options to past to configure. Because sometimes you need to tell the program where your lib paths are and other directories, since every system and distro is different. For example, If a program can&#39;t find your qt libs do this.


./configure --with-qt-libraries=/opt/qt

Granted your qt libs are in "/opt/qt"

One thing about using *nix is you better know where your programs and everything else is installed on your system or else go back to Windows.

If something ever happens and you need to take action fast your pretty much up shit&#39;s creek if you don&#39;t know where stuff is. :)

[DWk]

:o

And how can I know where all the stuff is?

It&#39;s called a FILE MANAGER. Kind of like Windows Explorer except it does&#39;nt crash.

Or you can use a terminal. "Browse", and when you see directories like KDE, GNOME, etc. you will know that most of thoose files for that reside there. ;)

Here is a topic by LSA Filesystem Hierarchy (http://filesharingtalk.com/index.php?showtopic=105121)

Next you come in Linux Section take a look around before posting please. :)
