Try removing it and reinstalling it.
You can do it with Synaptic app.

Here is the Terminal error:


older@holder-laptop:~$ gmplayer

1) It won't open
2) I need this Tohama
3) The skin? Dunno what's with it..


Any ideas?

You could try reinstalling mplayer-skins...may not work, but worth trying.

close mplayer

remove/backup the configuration:

mv ~/.mplayer ~/OLDmplayer


sudo aptitude purge mplayer mplayer-skins
sudo aptitude install mplayer

It should run now :)

Well, I've tried it and:

Hi,

You seem to be opening the gui of the svn mplayer without a skin. You could try to load a skin:


$ cd $HOME
$ mkdir -pv $HOME/.mplayer/skins/default
$ wget http://www.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/skins/Blue-1.7.tar.bz2
$ tar xjvf Blue-1.7.tar.bz2
$ cp -Rv $HOME/Blue/* $HOME/.mplayer/skins/default

And then try again. There are of course many skins but Blue is pretty standard.
