    Kaffeine on hd-install

    Friends,
    Here's how I installed Kaffeine, a real nice KDE media player based on Xine, on a Knoppix 3.3 hard drive install.
    Get the latest Mandrake rpm here:
    http://vgroup3.ath.cx/progs/linux/vi...0.4-1.i386.rpm
    Open a terminal and use alien -d "package" to make a .deb. After installing, you will also have to apt-get install libpng3 to meet a hidden dependency.
    Kaffeine will play all movie and music files, melds nicely with KDE, is easy to use and configure and, so far, quite stable. Also comes with a plug-in to preview complete/incomplete DIVX/XVID movies right in Konquorer -- sweet.
    Enjoy.

    Rick

    Kaffeine Deb

    I also use Xanrdos (not as good as Knoppix) and you can get Kaffeine from here in deb format:

    From the Kaffeine pages:
    Code:
    apt-get install kaffeine kaffeine-mozilla
    Much easier

    Agreed. Don't use the rpm just use apt to grab the deb and resolve possible dependencies.

    Kaffeine without Mozilla!

    Ok great!

    However, I did not want it as a plug in for Mozilla

    So I just used

    apt-get install kaffeine.

    You can always do:
    Code:
    apt-get remove <package>
    BTW, looking into other tools I came accross aptitude, I find it much easier to use than dselect as a char based UI to apt-get.

    Newer Version Is Out

    I downloaded and installed the .5 RC2-2 version. I used a debian link to down load it.

    Type Kaffeine into Yahoo or Google look for the links.

    It's a winner!!!

    kaffeine

    granted using apt is more challenging and perhaps more fun; but why not just use synaptic or kpackage to get this (and most other programs)?
