    Code:
    yum install rhythmbox

    Re: How to install Rhythmbox

    Code:
    yum install yum-utils
    cd /tmp
    yumdownload rhythmbox
    rpm -i --force *rpm
    
    the conflict in non consequential, so forcing the install shouldn't be an issue.

    Re: How to install Rhythmbox

    If I remember correctly yum also has an option to overwrite files from another package.
    (Haven't got a yum-enables system with me right now to test).

    Use that to install rhythmbox with yum.

    Re: How to install Rhythmbox

    i got it :)

    was a long way to go... but it works.
    so, i will try to recall the steps:

    first, solving these strange error:


    i use the how-to from this blog
    http://macles.blogspot.com/2008/08/inst ... e-one.html
    Code:
    sudo yum install yum-utils
    mkdir backup
    sudo cp /usr/share/desktop-directories/* backup
    sudo yumdownloader redhat-menus gnome-menus
    sudo rpm -U --force *menus*rpm
    sudo cp backup/* /usr/share/desktop-directories/

    After that install following packages
    gnome-themes
    gstreamer-python
    libnautilus-burn
    libtotem-plparser

    Rhytthmbox need nautilus-cd-burner to run :-(
    ok... following packages need also to be installed
    cdrdao
    cdrecord
    dvd+rw-tools
    libnautilus-extension

    install rhythmbox as described few post above.

    unfortunately i got this error while trying to start it:


    i solved it by downloading newer gestreamer-python and install it
    Code:
    rpm -U --force gstreamer-python-0.10.8-2.fc8.i386.rpm

    Rythmbox runs :) but it cant play any mp3.

    ok, install some gstreamer-plugins
    Code:
    yum install gstreamer-plugins-ugly gstreamer-plugins-bad

    I thing that is what i done to get rhythmbox running.
    I am not absolutly sure about the steps.
    now i am very very with my AA1

    I've got pretty close, but can't get mp3s to play. I don't seem to have the gstreamer-plugins-ugly or bad available via yum or add/remove programmes, and if I download and try to run the ./configure it falls down telling me I don't have liboil installed. Yum says I do, so I don't really know where to go next.

    Any clues?
