Explain to idiot beginner how to re-install Movie Player

I just want to play some mp3s.

I removed Totem Movie player and tried to install VLC at someone else's suggestion and can't figure out how the hell to install VLC. I tried reinstalling Movie player from "Add/Remove Software". It's there, but needs plugins to play mp3s and I haven't been able to figure out what/how to get what it wants.

With Ubunbtu on my desktop computer it was very easy, but I'm lost with Linpus. I'd be using Ubunutu on the AA1 believe me, but I spent too many days trying to get the wifi to work, so I'm back to Linpus...

 

Try this:

Thanks, but when I try this:
rpm -ivh http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release-8.rpm

I get "warning: /var/tmp/rpm-xfer.1NT3aE: Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID a109b1ec
error: can't create transaction lock on /var/lib/rpm/__db.000

 

My apologies - I indeed forgot to mention the sudo in front of it
Post edited - try again

 

Thanks Grim, yep that did it! VLC up and running.

You're welcome

If you ever want to do some sound editing I recommend audacity.
Easily installed with

Code:

sudo yum install audacity-nonfree

The non-free part can be left out, but then you get a version that does not support copyrighted formats like e.g. mp3...

 

Don't know if I'll ever do sound editing on the Aspire, I use Samplitude professional on my studio computer for that, that's what I do for a "living"

Sorry for another "last minute before bed" post...
hmm, who knows I might have a look at Audacity, might come in handy for something sometime.

Thanks,
