Hi everyone, I'm relatively new to Linux but have been given the task of getting streaming video working on my girlfriend's Asus EeePc. I do not know exactly what distribution of Linux it uses. I have got some of the way to achieving this objective but I've hit a roadblock. The videos she wants to view are sourced directly from a URL. I have installed the latest version of RealPlayer and on importing the URL the video does not play. Instead, I get an error telling me that RealPlayer has missing components. On further investigation it seems that the following is missing: [code=xml]text/html;charset=utf-8[/code] This is the most obvious error I have encountered but I also had trouble configuring RealPlayer the first time I executed it, so it may not be setup correctly, which I may also require help with. On startup I was faced with the message "Note: wget must be installed and in the path" when RealPlayer tried to detect the internet connection. I would appreciate any help anyone can give. Sincerely, Ed King

Your Eee PC is sold with the Xandros desktop installed. Xandros is based on Debian. How did you install RealPlayer?

[quote=proopnarine]Your Eee PC is sold with the Xandros desktop installed. Xandros is based on Debian.

I can't remember the exact commands I used. How does this help you help me? I can't remember what model of EeePc my girlfriend has.

Try this http://wiki.eeeuser.com/real_audio And the information is helpful because there are several different ways to install Real on the eee PC. It is available as .bin files from Real, several different versions I believe, and it's also available as a .deb file from the Debian repositories.
