                    <div>
                        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 &quot;Note: wget must be installed and in the path&quot; when RealPlayer tried to detect the internet connection.

I would appreciate any help anyone can give.

Sincerely,

Ed King</div>

I installed it by first downloading the .bin executable from Real, then using chmod to install the file. I also used chmod to execute it once it was installed. I can't remember the exact commands I used. How does this help you help me?

                        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.<p class="hiddensignature">
