I appreciate if these programs could be added to repositories. I tried to install RealPlayer from the .bin, but was a big pain.

Thx

They're both in the repositories. You should enable extra repositories in order to see them in Synaptic.

Which would be all well and good if Breezy Extras had anything but w32codecs in it.

This has nothing to do with breezy extras; both these apps are in multiverse.

#5

hey can you post your list so that I can see the multiverse. My list does not have multiverse for breezy I kep on getting an error and erased it, but now I can't get the right URL

#6

Both requested packages are in Multiverse already. As I've explained in the updated sticky, I don't want the legal risk associated with media format backports...

The nice ubuntuguide (thank you a lot!) seems to be outdated and the suggestions are no longer valid in 5.10 The only RealPlayer I have been able to download was trying to get a rpm from real.com that was no longer there. The rpm now distributed by them is not valid for Ubuntu. The bin never terminates to download... Any ideas?

I would like a version of realplayer that i can use the command realplayer so i can add/launch it from the applications menu, Oh and it won't play though firefox. The .bin installation you can't do that and the one in Synaptic is looking for a .rpm installer once it is downloaded which is no good to us.
