Trouble installing programs

JoeS · 2013-12-13 04:09:04

I've tried to install 3 programs, but get error messages with aptitude. Can anyone sort this out?
Why doesn't Crunchbang want to install these programs?

Thanks

root@crunchbang:~# aptitude install gxine

nothing fancy here.
there is not (yet) any error message.

each of the three ouputs you provided asks you to make a choice (press a number 1-5, or y or n, then enter).
please try all this, use common sense, and is you still don't succeed, post relevant output.

also, in your situation, i'd use

sudo apt-get install <package>

instead of aptitude.

Why this suggestion?

KrunchTime · 2013-12-14 10:21:07

@OP...why are you trying to install mplayer? It already comes by default with CrunchBang. Sounds like maybe you've hosed your setup with some other package installs.

I just went through the preliminaries of installing gxine under CrunchBang 11 and I didn't get the error messages you got. I'm beginning to think you've done something to your system.

Before trying anything else, I would suggest

sudo apt-get update

and watch for error messages, specifically any messages regarding trouble connecting to a repo.

Nope, VLC comes with Crunchbang. Corenominal reintroduced it in his updated iso`s, by popular demand. So I guess someone whined about it, and got their will. No MPlayer in the latest iso`s.

What do you have in your sources.list? Let`s take you gxine issue, just to test if this will help you.

I assume that you are on Wheezy(stable), as you are posting in the stable-section.

Download one of these packages, depending on your architecture:
gxine wheezy 64-bit gxine wheezy 32-bit

When downloaded, open it with GDEBI and install the package.

The same with these:
mplayer wheezy 64-bit mplaayer wheezy 32-bit

dvdrip squeeze multimedia 64-bit dvdrip squeeze multimedia 32-bit

You may be right. Now that I think about it, mplayer may have been pulled in by my installation of another player.

I installed the above packages which seemed to install OK, but couldn't install gxine:

dvdrip complained when I checked the settings:

STDIN player command: xine not found : NOT Ok
rar command (for vobsub compression): rar-2.80 not found : NOT Ok

Why couldn't aptitude install the other packages. Can I fix this?
