Ubuntu

I can't seem to load RealPlayer10GOLD.bin on fiesty... any ideas?

Asked by F.O.G.

I have tried using the code provided to install Real Player on previous versions 6.10/6.06, when I enter the code the I get "no such directory" or "file name invalid". When I run "Tree" from the terminal window it displays Real Player as a valid directory. The issue is that items requiring Real Player will not work.

You need to run that as follows ./Realplayer10....

note the ./ (dot slash)

This is basically the installation program for Real Player

or install the Real Player application using Add/Remove programs

hope this helps

I tried running it this way:

ron@ron-desktop:~$ ./ RealPlayer10GOLD
bash: ./: is a directory
ron@ron-desktop:~$ ./RealPlayer10GOLD
bash: ./RealPlayer10GOLD: No such file or directory
ron@ron-desktop:~$ ./RealPlayer10GOLD.bin
bash: ./RealPlayer10GOLD.bin: No such file or directory
ron@ron-desktop:~$ ./ RealPlayer10GOLD.bin
bash: ./: is a directory
ron@ron-desktop:~$

I am also unable to locate the program through "Add/Remove software".

Thanks,

Ron

You are better off not doing it this way at all. RealPlayer is in the repository and as such can be installed through Synaptic package manager. Here are the instructions:-
