Help!!! I cant get lots of things to work!

[Ace of Azrogoth]

Okay. Several problems.

 

1. I have followed the directions to get all the extras such as livna, mplayer, and flashplayer, and they work fine mostly.

The problem is that other than basic desktop notification sounds, audio seems to be disabled somehow. All my applications make no sound whatsoever, including flash and mplayer. The only exception was the Rhythmbox Music player but now that does not work either.

 

2. I have figured out how to install rpms, but can not get yum to install a file I have downloaded. I have tried many variations to commanding yum to insall a file, but yum always says that "nothing to do"

 

code: yum install -x /home/asa/desktop/et-linux-2.60.x86.run

Loading "installonlyn" plugin

Error: Need to pass a list of pkgs to install

 

any suggestions?

what distro are you using and have you checked alsamixer (run in from a terminal) and make sure nothing is muted

 

as regards the run file mentioned in your post, you'll most5 likely have to make it executable

 

chmod +x et-linux-2.60.x86.run

 

then run it

 

Code:

sh et-linux-2.60.x86.run

Yes I have tried alsamixer, it had no effect.

 

I am running Fedora Core 6.

 

I have not had time to try the code yet as I am away from my computer, but i will get back on that soon.

 

(Edit: Ok the code worked for installing Thanks a lot!!

Now its just the audio)

Thanks
