Hi
CentOS 6.2, 32-bit

I've used this command first
rpm -Uvh http://pkgs.repoforge.org/rpmforge-release/rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el6.rf.i686.rpm
then yum install vlc

There was a warning
Warning: RPMDB altered outside of yum.

but everything went well apart from that
Now when I click on VLC nothing happens!

Any idea how to start diagnosing the problem?

Run vlc from an xterm and you will see the problem.

How do I run it from there?

Type

on the terminal. It does not have to be a 'xterm' terminal, just whatever terminal you happen to have.

Quote:
Yum in CentOS 6 is smarter than before, and therefore the current way to install "local" packages is:

Just a note. This does not affect you.

VLC is not supposed to be run as root. Sorry.
If you need to use real-time priorities and/or privileged TCP ports
you can use vlc-wrapper (make sure it is Set-UID root and
cannot be run by non-trusted users first).

Report it to repoforge.

Are any other 3rd party packages from other repos installed?

I've just re-installed the OS
What's the right way to install VLC?
CentOS 6.2, 32 bit

Based on a minimal install, I installed X Window System and the default Desktop manager

Not exactly what most people refer to as a minimal install, but we won't stop to argue semantics.

I'd enable only RPMForge among the 3rd party repos, then "yum install vlc".

If you prefer ATrpms, then enable only ATrpms and not RPMForge or any other 3rd party repo.

I see that linuxtech-testing has a later vlc-2.0.0-2.el6 so if feeling adventurous you could try that, but again as the only 3rd party repo, except that I suspect linuxtech-release is also required in that case.

Quote:

How do I enable a repo? how do I enable ONLY one?

Did you try reading the links you quoted, both of which point to Wiki articles on repos? Have you done the recommended reading?
Readme First
*** Installing Software ***
Where to Find Answers
How to provide information about your system

I never said to enable only one repo, just not to have more than one 3rd party repo enabled, so just install the one you want. If you want more than one then it gets complicated, possibly the reason behind your reinstall.

Same Here.. Nothing happens.

CentOS 6.2

===================
Repositories
CentOS-6 - Base, Extras, Updates
[I Can't Enable CentOS - Media ??]

Plus
RHEL 6 - RPMForge.net - dag
google-chrome
[as the only 3rd party repositories]
==========================

yum install vlc via terminal
or
Add/Remove vlc with GUI

Installs vlc-1.1.13-1.el6.rf (i686)

Start with the application shortcut -> nothing happens

Start as regular user in the terminal gives:

Any thoughts/ideas are appreciated.

You could try my VLC 2.0 package (linuxtech-release repo). It seems to work for most people, the only people who have reported problems with it are people who also had the 'atrpms' repo enabled which causes conflicts.

Just run:
su - root
cd /etc/yum.repos.d/
wget http://pkgrepo.linuxtech.net/el6/release/linuxtech.repo
yum install vlc

Ideally you should revert the rpmforge vlc install first ('yum history' is your friend for that) but even if you don't do that it probably will upgrade smoothly.

I remember this happening--I wound up installing the atrpms version.
