I don't know exactly what you mean when you say 'tried reinstalling',
but I would remove mplayer, log out, login, and reinstall.

Your error googles, but there isn't any fruitful information I could
see.

ARe you installing from the repository or compiling? You error must
relate to this package:

http://packages.ubuntu.com/edgy/libglide3

which I guess you should reinstall, and its dev file if you are
compiling.

Did you have Beryl installed and then removed it?

Further if you have a Voodoo graphics card, take a look at whether this
package is installed: libglide3

graphics library for 3Dfx Voodoo based cards - shared libraries
This package allows you to use the 3D functions of cards based on
3dfx Interactive, Inc's Voodoo Banshee, Voodoo 3, Voodoo 4, and
Voodoo 5, chipsets.
You should install it if you have such a card.

An uninstall of Beryl can remove these library files.

Cheers.

I am reinstalling from the repository.

I removed, shut down completely, restarted, reinstalled and have the
same problem.

I know all of that.

A short lapse of memory in that I rarely post on newsgroups.

By the way, I would be much more impressed with your vast knowledge if
you knew something about how to solve the problem.

Apparently the extent of your knowlege is where to insert your opinion
in the page.

Thank you so much for your help.

Yep. there's a lot of that sort of thing in this place but
thanks for the chuckle. Your barbed response is so much more

Thanks.

At the time I committed that mortal sin, I not only was trying to figure
out what was the matter with my Mplayer, which by the way I still have
not fixed, but my Alltel wireless broadband was dropping me so often
that I could not compose a message and send it before it would drop.

I would guess that I was getting dropped about every 120 seconds, with
reconnects taking many minutes, usually requiring that I wait for
several minutes to see what my router would do, then disconnecting it
from power so as to get a restart. So each reconnect could take up to
10 minutes or more.

This was not a short term thing, it went on from late afternoon until
midnight.

And in the middle of all of that, frustrated beyond description, I am
supposed to remember where to insert my next line?

The service seems to be OK now, but I had a bad night with it Friday
night.

Thanks for the comment. I know others will flame me, but my hide is
thick.

Yes.

After q quick Goodle it would seem that people who have had this error
installed the kubuntu desktop to cure it. I believe it relates to
Amarok although I cannot find any specific reason as to why.

Here goes. Open a terminal and type
$ sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop

The download is around 30 minutes (broadband) and should take up about
800meg after installation.

If either is a problem, then another fix could be
$ sudo apt-get install amarok
This will install amarok and all it's dependencies. I don't know
whether that will fixi it or not though.

Good luck.

I really appreciate that.

I googled it also, but I missed that solution.

I will try immediately and let you know what happens.

However, my connection has gone to crap again and this may take all
night or I might even have to wait until in the morning.

When I have connection problems, it is from this time until midnight, I
think because all of the kids are on their machines and overloading the
system.

Anyhow, thank you.

No problem Claude.

Why not try the
$ sudo apt-get install amarok
first?

It's a far smaller download and may just do the trick

Did you even try the simple suggestion that I left you? I don't see why the
whole Kubuntu desktop needs to be loaded to just get a missing lib?

I thought I replied to yours. I have had connection problems that are
about to drive me nuts.

I have the lib file. I never had Beryl.

It is not that I don't have the lib file, it is that it has a flaw. I
have tried reinstall and get the same error message.

I had set a machine up for a buddy of mine a few weeks back, with a
similar problem. I had set the machine up with a static address and
forgot to tell the router not to use that address for dhcp. So it was
two machines running with the same IP address that was causing the
problem.

Thanks for a ver good suggestion.

I am leaving shortly for the rest of the day and will not get to recheck
my machine settings until tonight or tomorrow, but I will do so.

Because the problem is sporadic, I believe I have it right, but I will
look into it.

Thanks again.
