Hello!I am interested in getting VLC for DSL. Where do I find the synaptic manager in DSL? Ive been using ubuntu for 4 months, and Im still on my test phase for DSL. So any little detail would be greatly appreciated. Posted by ks2 on Jan. 03 2007,06:15
you can find synaptic in the menuapps-tools-synaptic this enables apt and download synaptic but i dont know settings to get a new version of vlc. have you any idea where and what i must write in any settings? thanx Posted by gigaferz on Jan. 03 2007,06:57
Thank you, I should have read the home page in Dillo!!!Im an Ubuntu user so Im sticking with debian, and i m familiar with apt-get, and when i tried that in the terminal i didnt know what to do. Then I was reading your post and it got me going!!! However the VLC is not good for anything at all..I got mplayer and a codecpack, but i still prefer VLC simply because i like to have the fewer apps as possible...

outer!s,mplayer should do the same, as long as it was compiled with '--enable-network' and '--enable-ftp'. Since VLC is similarly based on FFmpeg as MPlayer, the range of natively supported formats is the same. Some files just will not play without external codecs. VLC's standard GUI is wxGTK - and wxGTK supports both GTK1 and GTK2. I've tried linking VLC with wxGTK1, but sadly, the interface.. (a screenshot will 'speak a thousand words' - it was unusable) |
