Yum install mplayer in Fedora

Friday, 16.01.2009.

After upgrade to the Fedora Core 10 and Fedora Core 12, I was surprised when "yum install mplayer" didn't find any package. I'm sure yum worked in Fedora Core 9 with installed Livna repository. I checked my Livna configuration once again, but there was no luck with mplayer. Something has definitely changed in the meantime.

In this post you can read how to configure the VPN client in Fedora Core 10. I tried to configure VPN client in NetworkManager, but there was no success. I turned off NetworkManager with chkconfig and uncheck Controlled by NetworkManager in system-config-network. In my case, VPN server is on Microsoft platform, so my domain name must precede the user name.
