mtweidmann Posted October 24, 2003 Report Share Posted October 24, 2003 I just installed Realplayer using the Mandrake Club rpm, but it refuses to work with KDE. If I launch it from Konqueror it opens up properly then freezes, if I launch it manually it just opens a black window. However it works perfectly under IceWM, grrrrr. I had it set up perfectly under 9.1 so I know it can be done. Advice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmpatrick Posted October 24, 2003 Report Share Posted October 24, 2003 I didn't see any 9.2 rpms up yet. Maybe I'm missing something. If you installed the 9.1 rpm, that could be your problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mystified Posted October 24, 2003 Report Share Posted October 24, 2003 Since I don't belong to the Club I don't know which rpm you're using but I downloaded and installed one from here http://forms.real.com/real/player/unix/unix.html It works fine with 9.2 for me.

riorama Posted October 24, 2003 Report Share Posted October 24, 2003 I installed the one from the real media site, works awesome. Funny thing about kde, I found that in the new kde interacted with many non-kde sound apps funny. I went into konqueror and kde configs, and turned off all sorts of preview soundfile options that were turned on by default. This probably wont help, but I tried.

chris:b Posted October 24, 2003 Report Share Posted October 24, 2003 Not a clubmember - I installed the realplayer rpm from our MUB download :D (misc), works out of the box in Opera, and after setting up the file types/associations, it works in konqueror too.

mtweidmann Posted October 24, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2003 Ummm, strange. I tried swapping copies of Realplayer to the one suggested Mystified but same problem. I'm guessing it must be a more general sound problem then, because I'm also not getting sound in Tuxkart and in Lbreakout its about 2 seconds delayed. <sigh> Will have to try and fix it over the weekend.

Guest hyades Posted October 27, 2003 Report Share Posted October 27, 2003 I got exactly the same problem. Have you got it fixed? I just installed Realplayer using the Mandrake Club rpm, but it refuses to work with KDE. If I launch it from Konqueror it opens up properly then freezes, if I launch it manually it just opens a black window. However it works perfectly under IceWM, grrrrr.
