Re: dot bin
I have now installed RealPlayer.bin, but don't know how it happened. I ran several different commands in terminal (as you will see below, I didn't really know what I was doing (really just poking around)), none of which seemed to achieve anything. Then looking around the file system in Konqueror I found a RealPlayer directory with a shell script in it. I knew enough to run it, and lo and behold it installed RealPlayer!
The problem I now have is that RealPlayer does not appear on the main menu, or under any of the sub-menus.
Could someone please have a look at the terminal output below and tell me what is going on? Also point me in the direction of the executable (or equivalent) so that I can put a shortcut on my desktop, or better still add it to the Konqueror menu. Here is the output:
jack@phoenix:~$ cd Desktop
jack@phoenix:~/Desktop$ install RealPlayer10GOLD.bin
install: too few arguments
Try `install --help' for more information.
jack@phoenix:~/Desktop$ install RealPlayer10GOLD.bin ~/media
jack@phoenix:~/Desktop$ install RealPlayer10GOLD.bin /media
install: cannot create regular file `/media/RealPlayer10GOLD.bin': Permission de nied
jack@phoenix:~/Desktop$ sudo install RealPlayer10GOLD.bin /media
Password:
jack@phoenix:~/Desktop$ cd
jack@phoenix:~$ cd /
jack@phoenix:/$ ls
bin debootstrap home lib mnt root sys var
boot dev initrd lost+found opt sbin tmp vmlinuz
cdrom etc initrd.img media proc srv usr
jack@phoenix:/$ cd media
jack@phoenix:/media$ ls
cdrom cdrom0 CED RealPlayer10GOLD.bin usb usb0 USBFLASH
jack@phoenix:/media$ sudo del RealPlayer10GOLD.bin
sudo: del: command not found
jack@phoenix:/media$ sudo rm RealPlayer10GOLD.bin
jack@phoenix:/media$ ls
cdrom cdrom0 CED usb usb0 USBFLASH
Thanks in advance
