firstly thanks to everyone who has helped with this awesome distro. i just installed stable 2.0 and it's been very easy to set up. however, i have encountered a problem with which i need help.
everytime i try tazpkg get-install packagename i get outputs like this one:
Copying libnotify-0.4.4... [70G[ [1;33mOK[0;39m ] Extracting libnotify-0.4.4... 28 blocks Extracting the pseudo fs... zcat: fs.cpio.gz: No such file or directory rm: cannot remove 'fs.cpio.gz': No such file or directory Installing libnotify... cp: cannot stat 'fs/*': No such file or directory [70G[ [1;31mFailed[0;39m ] Removing all tmp files... [70G[ [1;33mOK[0;39m ]
these errors occured on every dependency when i tried
tazpkg get-install xine-plugin
and
tazpkg get-install gecko-mediaplayer
in order for tazpkg to see gecko, i ran
tazpkg set-release cooking
was it a mistake to to do set-release cooking on my stable install? i'm wondering what could be causing these errors. i should mention, i also had problems with the get-flash-plugin script. i got this error in the output:
/usr/bin/get-flash-plugin: cd: line 53: can't cd to install_flash_player_10_linux
this was before running tazpkg set-release. i was able to manualy copy the libflashplayer.so plugin file to my firefox plugins directory which allowed it to work. i'm stumped on xine and gecko though. i'm hoping to get a working quicktime plugin installed.
then removed all the packages from the failed installation attempts of gecko-mediaplayer and xine-plugin. then i reinstalled them and they worked! unfortunately, i went through several media players and couldn't find a reliable one. i'm still working on it though...
