Problems with installing gstreamer.

[Totally-Lemonified]

I tried to install gstreamer through Rhythmbox but only got a "Fix broken packages first" error message. I tried to fix the broken packages in the Synaptic Package Manager but it said there were none to be fixed. I tried to install the gstreamer stuff from Synaptic Package Manager and got this message


gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg:
Depends: libavcodec52 (>=3:0.svn20090303-1) but it is not installable or
libavcodec-extra-52 but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libavformat52 (>=3:0.svn20090303-1) but it is not installable or
libavformat-extra-52 but it is not going to be installedI then tried to install libavformat-extra-52 and got this message


libavcodec-extra-52:
Depends: libgsm1 (>=1.0.13) but it is not installable
Depends: libschroedinger-1.0-0 (>=1.0.0) but it is not installableI couldn't find either of the packages contained in the last message. I appreciate any help offered!

Can you run the following from a terminal and post the output:

sudo apt-get update

I suspect some of the sources are not accessible.

I can't see any issues,

I suspect some of the sources are not accessible.
Yeah, the partner repos are disabled.

I bolded the lines where you should remove the "#" from the beginning of both lines.
Then

sudo apt-get update
Or you could just go to system>administration>software sources, open the "other software" tab and check off the partner line.

To edit your sources list, do:

gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

Just need medibuntu and non-free-codecs: http://wojox.homelinux.net/?p=77

Thanks for the help! Unfortunately it didn't do a whole lot. I tried removing the hashes from the 'backport' repository as well but it didn't do anything either.

[WinterRain]

I just re-read your original post, and may have missed this myself, but it seems you have broken packages. Try:

sudo apt-get install -f

[mikewhatever]

So? Neither gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg, nor libavcodec52 is in partner repository.

Excuse me, I'm human. (and make mistakes) I want to help this person as much as you do.

I also tried this as a way of just avoiding the problem altogether but it's still not working. This is such a pain!

[Totally-Lemonified]

Here's some extra information from the package manager that will hopefully help.

Human, you say? And I thought you were a little green alien.:P

[no2498]

look in the add/remove
gstreamer

see what is installed


on this computer 804 i can not get lib52


1 more thing if trying to play mp4's

install smplayer it loads the 264 codes
type it in a terminal tells you how to install it

hope this helps

[mc4man]

Something does seem to be amiss, asuming you are connected to the internet and have a karmic install - which it appears you do.

Run these in a terminal and see what happens


sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

If that does what it wants to do successfully then

sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad \
gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly

If still no good post terminal output (though may be nothing new..

Just want to say a massive thanks to everyone who was helping out but I just decided to go for a fresh install and everything seems to be working fine. Thanks again!
