Re: How to install Rhythmbox

I've got it installed but can't remember the exact procedure.
Could you post the error messages you get when doing a

yum install rhythmbox

Re: How to install Rhythmbox

i got these following error after yum downloaded the packages:

Transaction Check Error:
  file /usr/share/desktop-directories/Internet.directory from install of gnome-menus-2.20.3-1.fc8 conflicts with file from package xfdesktop-acer-lp-1522.no_spot.mcs_patched
  file /usr/share/desktop-directories/Settings.directory from install of gnome-menus-2.20.3-1.fc8 conflicts with file from package xfdesktop-acer-lp-1522.no_spot.mcs_patched

any ideas?

Re: How to install Rhythmbox

yum install yum-utils
cd /tmp
yumdownload rhythmbox
rpm -i --force *rpm

the conflict in non consequential, so forcing the install shouldn't be an issue.

Errors:

sudo rpm -i --force *rpm
error: Failed dependencies:

i got gnome-themes and gstreamer-python installed, but libnautilus-burn still make stress.

Unresolvable requirement libgnome-desktop-2.so.2 for gnome-utils

Re: How to install Rhythmbox

If I remember correctly yum also has an option to overwrite files from another package.
(Haven't got a yum-enables system with me right now to test).

Use that to install rhythmbox with yum.

Re: How to install Rhythmbox

i got it

was a long way to go... but it works.
so, i will try to recall the steps:

first, solving these strange error:

Transaction Check Error:
file /usr/share/desktop-directories/Internet.directory from install of gnome-menus-2.20.3-1.fc8 conflicts with file from package xfdesktop-acer-lp-1522.no_spot.mcs_patched
file /usr/share/desktop-directories/Settings.directory from install of gnome-menus-2.20.3-1.fc8 conflicts with file from package xfdesktop-acer-lp-1522.no_spot.mcs_patched

i use the how-to from this blog
http://macles.blogspot.com/2008/08/inst ... e-one.html

sudo yum install yum-utils
mkdir backup
sudo cp /usr/share/desktop-directories/* backup
sudo yumdownloader redhat-menus gnome-menus
sudo rpm -U --force *menus*rpm
sudo cp backup/* /usr/share/desktop-directories/

After that install following packages
gnome-themes
gstreamer-python
libnautilus-burn
libtotem-plparser

Rhytthmbox need nautilus-cd-burner to run :-(
ok... following packages need also to be installed
cdrdao
cdrecord
dvd+rw-tools
libnautilus-extension

install rhythmbox as described few post above.

unfortunately i got this error while trying to start it:

rhythmbox: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/gst-0.10/gst/_gst.so:

i solved it by downloading newer gestreamer-python and install it

rpm -U --force gstreamer-python-0.10.8-2.fc8.i386.rpm

Rythmbox runs but it cant play any mp3.

ok, install some gstreamer-plugins

yum install gstreamer-plugins-ugly gstreamer-plugins-bad

I thing that is what i done to get rhythmbox running.
I am not absolutly sure about the steps.
now i am very very with my AA1

I've got pretty close, but can't get mp3s to play. I don't seem to have the gstreamer-plugins-ugly or bad available via yum or add/remove programmes, and if I download and try to run the ./configure it falls down telling me I don't have liboil installed. Yum says I do, so I don't really know where to go next.

Any clues?
