I installed VLC player through yum...now when I click on VLC player from applications menu nothing happens....there is no message in /var/log/messages..... when I run it my from terminal window with su , it runs, but if I run it with my user it generates an error. what could be the reason

Hi Ezy, please paste the output of Code: ls /etc/yum.repos.d/ and Code: rpm -q vlc Best regards, Olli
Hi o.meyer, Here is the output: [Ezy@localhost ~]$ ls /etc/yum.repos.d/ fedora-development.repo fedora-updates-testing.repo livna-testing.repo fedora.repo livna-devel.repo fedora-updates.repo livna.repo & [Ezy@localhost ~]$ rpm -q vlc vlc-0.8.6e-1.lvn8 I hope you will be able to help me out
Hi Ezy, a try... Please install the following package: Code: alsa-plugins-pulseaudio Add your useraccount to the group "pulse-access" and "pulse-rt" Please note that you have to log out and in again to take the changes effect - afterwards look what happens when you try to start VLC from the gnome menu. Additionally paste the output of: Code: cat /etc/alsa/pulse-default.conf and Code: yum list installed | grep wx Best regards, Olli PS: I've the same package installed on my system and it's working without problems.
alsa-plugins-pulseaudio already installed Hi Olli I checked, alsa-plugins-pulseaudio is already installed...please see the output of Code: [Ezy@localhost ~]$ cat /etc/alsa/pulse-default.conf # PulseAudio plugin configuration # Let's create a virtual device "pulse" for mixer and PCM pcm.pulse { type pulse } ctl.pulse { type pulse } # Let's make it the default! pcm.!default { type pulse } ctl.!default { type pulse } and Code: [Ezy@localhost ~]$ yum list installed | grep wx compat-wxGTK26.i386 2.6.4-0.8 installed wxGTK.i386 2.8.4-6.fc8 installed wxGTK-gl.i386 2.8.4-6.fc8 installed wxPython.i386 2.8.4.0-2.fc8 installed please let me know if you want me to do anything else.... I think that pulse audio is only responsible for audio but my VLC does not even start.....& audio is fine with Real player & other media related softwares...
