Cannot install vlc with Fedora 14

Timmy111 · #1 4th June 2012, 09:32 AM

Hello everyone,

I have issues inastalling vlc on F14. Iḿ new to linux, so I googled my problem, found some posts related but couldnt get my problem solved..
Problem is : I want to install vlc on fedora 14 using yum, but it seems that it cannot find the right library or something.

when I type . yum install vlc, i get the following errors.

Error: Package: vlc-core-1.1.12-1.fc14.i686 (rpmfusion-free-updates)
Requires: libva-x11-0.31.1.1.so.1
Available: libva-freeworld-0.31.1-1.sds4.fc14.i686 (rpmfusion-free)
libva-x11-0.31.1.1.so.1

Available: libva-freeworld-0.31.1-1.sds4.fc14.i686 (rpmfusion-free)
libva-0.31.1.1.so.1
You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

Can someone tell me what the problem is and how I can solve it please?

Best Regards
Timmy

Strange - the 'libvs-freeworld' package is still available in the "rpmfusion-fee" repository for Fedora 14, so I'm not sure why Yum won't add it to the dependency list and install automatically. You could try installing it manually

Code:

yum install libva-freeworld-0.31.1-1.sds4.fc14.i686

If that doesn't work, download the RPM manually then install the downloaded RPM file

Code:

wget http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/releases/14/Everything/i386/os/libva-freeworld-0.31.1-1.sds4.fc14.i686.rpm
yum install libva-freeworld-0.31.1-1.sds4.fc14.i686.rpm

Hi,
Thank you for your quick answer,
It seems the package you told me to install is already here. When I use the command lines you gave me,
# yum install libva-freeworld-0.31.1-1.sds4.fc14.i686 is giving me this output : Loaded plugins: langpacks, presto, refresh-packagekit

Installing vlc gives me the same erros as before. My understanding is that the lib files needed for the installation of vlc are (maybe) outdated. Am I wrong?

Thank you for your time
Timmy

Have you got another third-party repo enabled apart from RPMFusion? It looks like you've got a version of 'libva' from somewhere else which conflicts with the requirements of packages from RPMFusion. Post the output from

Code:

rpm -qi libva

and also

Code:

yum repolist

bonedome · #5 4th June 2012, 01:33 PM

Hello
where did you get that libva you have ?
the version available from rpmfusion that I have is 0.31.1
I suspect vlc 1.1.12 will only work with the older version.
I'd remove the libva you have with either yum remove or rpm -e --nodeps, you may even be able to use yum downgrade libva* and try installing vlc again

Aha - the problem is that you have installed packages two third-party repositories - RPMFusion and Timesys. Although both supply packages for Fedora 14, the individual packages may be at different versions between the repositories, causing incompatibilities like you are seeing.

The simplest way to get VLC installed from RPMFusion is to erase the 'libva' package from Timesys (plus any other packages which depend on that 'libva' package) before trying to install VLC again.

Timmy111 · #8 5th June 2012, 09:00 AM

Ok I understand that, I tried to remove it using the add remove software, but it wasnt there, how do I remove it using command lines? I guess I have to find the packages first using find, grep?

Regards
Timmy

SteveGYBE · #9 5th June 2012, 09:07 AM

As root, run

Code:

yum erase libva

The default Yum configuration will pause after producing a list of any dependencies that need removing as well for you to confirm the action.

bonedome · #10 5th June 2012, 09:44 AM

You're probably going to have to disable that timesys repo aswell, to permanently disable

Code:

su -
root password
gedit /etc/yum.repos.d/timesys.repo

and change line

Code:

enabled=1

to

Code:

enabled=0

to use it one time only

Code:

yum --enablerepo=timesys

Timmy111 · #11 5th June 2012, 10:03 AM

Hi,

When I use yum erase libva, it does give me a list of dependencies, im afraid the libva is used by the display driver emgd as you can see in output below, will this cause problem if I remove it?

Maybe not worth the risk, It might cause a load of grief, you could try

Code:

rpm -e --nodeps libva

It'll say something about database altered outside of yum, just ignore that and then try yum install vlc again

Timmy111 · #13 11th June 2012, 04:09 PM

Hi,
I tried to remove the libva using : rpm -e --nodeps libva, but still couldnt install vlc afterwords ... Is there another way to have the vlc installed ?

Regards
Tim

This is the last version I was able to compile. You can download here:

I would have to questions :
1/ Why would it be possible to install the version you gave me and not the actual one (considering my lbva problem)
2/ I guess i have to get the missing libs to install your version, how can i find (and install) all of those?

Timmy
