Mageia forum

Hello there, I'm new to Mageia Linux, and I'm unable to get video working on my system.
Basically, whichever format I try to play, I get some requirements, like MPEG Video decoder, MPEG 4 AAC decoder, H.264 decoder, etc.
I did a search, but found nothing relevant.I tried to install VLC, but I got this

Code: Select all

[root@localhost nightshadow]# urpmi vlc
A requested package cannot be installed:
vlc-plugin-common-2.0.8-2.mga3.tainted.i586 (due to unsatisfied libfaad.so.2)
Continue installation anyway? (Y/n) y
While some packages may have been installed, there were failures.
A requested package cannot be installed:
vlc-plugin-common-2.0.8-2.mga3.tainted.i586 (due to unsatisfied libfaad.so.2)
Continue installation anyway?
[root@localhost nightshadow]#


Any help is appreciated.

Regards,
Darko.

P.S. - I'm on M3 x64.

If you have a 64bit installation, are your repos set up correctly (since urpmi tries to install the 32bit package)?

Please give the output of:

Code: Select all

urpmq --list-media active

and

Code: Select all

urpmq --list-url

How did you add all those? Best remove them all and add one complete set of repositories from one mirror.
Problem is currently that the tainted_release repository is not enabled, hence you cannot install faad2.

Do the following as root:

Code: Select all

urpmi.removemedia -a
urpmi.addmedia --distrib http://mirror.nexcess.net/mageia/distrib/3/x86_64
urpmi.update --no-ignore "Tainted Release" && urpmi.update --no-ignore "Tainted Updates" && urpmi.update --no-ignore "Nonfree Release" && urpmi.update --no-ignore "Nonfree Updates" && urpmi.update -av

Hint: The third command wraps over two lines, it's one long command.

Yea, I guessed there's something wrong with repo's.
It works now, thanks.
