Yes, that's expected for now. But if you would post some info on the video's details (codecs) it would be helpful.

These include Catalan, Portuguese (pt_BR and pt_PT), Hungarian, French, Polish and Turkish. So, try to make a test installation with your preferred locale (or even more than one if you speak multiple languages) and report if it worked or not. Unfortunately, the way gettext and dialog works in the installer means that a broken translation might break the installer, so we really need to test these out. In addition, some translations might not be fitting the installer, in the sense that they may be too long for their specific location. The translations would have to be shortened in these cases. So report these too if you find them.
Several mistakes and typos in Polish translation:

In addition, the basic installation in VirtualBox trouble-free. At first glance, everything works, translation correct.
Many thanks for Salix OS!

Parole complains about the absence of "H.264 High profile decoder" ( or in some cases "Baseline profile"). mpv opens and plays both by double clicking on the file and selecting mpv as the player, and from the command line. vlc (alien's package) only works from the command line.

I have tried a number of other files, and .avi needs "MPEG-4". (The others were .mkv or .mp4, both require H.264).

Out of curiosity I had a rummage in Gslapt, and installed the 'x264' package, but still nothing plays with parole.

By the way, I've just noticed with gslapt.

After selecting packages, then "Execute", a confirmation window pops up. I had not taken enough notice before, but I see in the middle box no entry on which package to be installed/reinstalled/removed. Continuing with "OK" installs/reinstalls/uninstalls the selected packages correctly,

64-bit iso USB (to a new computer I got on Friday!)
UEFI (I forgot to create the right partition the first time, so I had to restart the installation process after reading up on what to do with UEFI installation... Perhaps something to mention in the start up guide in the future.)

Ah, don't worry. It must be my setting somewhere. The problem is with my fluxbox. On xfce4 it works as expected...

Edit: and it works now in fluxbox as well... I could not see the icon to expand.

But it just happened again, and for the first time, I saw a relevant message (unfortunately I didn't write it down) something about consolekit and Freedesktop and no .service. I logged in on tty1 and 'startx', and then I couldn't get back to where I could see the message.
It happened again, and I was able to write down the message:

Code: Select all

WARNING: Failed to open CK session: GDBus.Error.org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Serviceunknown: The name org.freedesktop.Consolekit was not provided by any .service files
I was playing video on vlc at the time, it continued to respond to keypresses (for example, jumping forward and back, reflected in the audio). So vlc did not crash.

No, that's not the error that caused it. That's just a warning, it doesn't really matter much.
