Re: FC6 MP3 issues and other queries

Hi all,

Sorry to add a few queries in one post. But all are related. While
reinstalling FC6 yesterday, I chose the 'Customize Now 'option and
selected minimal set of programs totally avoiding the 'Development
Package.' Then I got Yumex which enabled me to get the programs like
Amarok and Kaffeine. I thought this would help me to listen to my MP3s but
Kaffeine gives an error like some xine related file is missing. I
downloaded XMMS, MP3Blaster but none of these programs can be installed as
they give an error saying some 'C' ...I think it refers to Compiler- is
missing.

I would like to know if the problem is arising due to my avoidance of the
Development Package while I installed FC6?

As a workaround, I chose to upgrade the installation. It installed
whatever was needed on it own and now after rebooting I get 3 OS. The
upgraded/latest at the top then FC6 as my basic, previous installation and
Billboy's XP as Other.

I think the mp3 packages are in the extras repositories for FC6. If not
just use the commandline

$ yum search mp3

to look through the repositories for mp3 modules.

Not sure if you intend to have 3 OS or mistakenly installed 3 OS. If
unintended I'd delete the FC6 partition and start over.



In Ubuntu, the dektop shows the Windows drives too. Is there anyway I can
get those drives in FC, if so, how?

NTFS support is now native to FC6, you have to install the modules
kernel-module-ntfs and kmod-ntfs

Here's a link to mjmwired who's do a great job documenting most of
the detailed instructions for apps you'll likely need for FC6 including
mp3 support.

Also, post installation read the release notes, and make sure you've
installed the important repositories.

YUMEX is very good.


Will Ubuntu be better than FC for MP3s and most importantly, will CLI
commands be same in every distro or do they change. My guess is since all
distros are different flavours of Unix, most commands should run.

I would like to know which program will finally help me listen to MP3s.
Why is it so complex or do I have to reinstall FC again?

TIA,

Poms
