vlc player?

[Terid]

Hey, I'm pretty new to linux. Have been trying to see how to get VLC installed for 3 hours now to no avail. I can't find it in Gslapt, i tried getting it from the website and using installpkg in terminal but it gave me an error when trying to start.

Can someone point me in the right direction? I've been trawling google for hours and can't find any info on this.

Thanks!

Can you open a terminal, login as root (su) then issue the following commands:

Code: Select all

slapt-get --add-keys
slapt-get -u
slapt-get --search vlc

After issuing the final command you should see this:

Code: Select all

vlc-1.1.4-x86_64-2tm [inst=no]: vlc - a multimedia player

You can then install vlc with the following command:

Code: Select all

slapt-get -i vlc

If you still have problems then you might want to take a look at your '/etc/slapt-get/slapt-getrc' file.

One final thing, if you haven't done it already, you might want to run the codecs installer. You'll find it under 'Multimedia' in the menu.

You need to hit the update button in gslapt first.
