VLC freezing and not playing on-line radio

[tinypoodle]

I tried this but no luck:
tc@box:~$ Edit /opt/.filetool.lst
/bin/sh: Edit: not found
tc@box:~$

edit = edit with any editor

[gerald_clark]

By 'Edit' I mean 'use an editor to modify'.
The default editor is vi.
If you have trouble using vi, I suggest you install 'mc' ( Midnight Commander ) and use its editor.

paste using ....double click of left and right buttons

Umm no. It's single middle click. Only when middle click button is missing it can be emulated to be substituted by clicking left and right button at once, not double click.

And by the way, I do not have the slightest idea what kind of distro mepis is, but copying and pasting to a terminal has worked in the same way in every Linux di stro i have ever tried, even when using gpm on a VT very similar; so I really wonder if the claim of copying and pasting being distro dependent could be uphold.

Wonder no more Tinypoodle.

I can tell you for a fact that whatever terminal comes standard with TC 3.1 does not let you cut and paste anything into it.  Not with the mouse, no matter which buttons you click or how many times you click them, nor with the keyboard, CTRL- V & CTRL-P.

I am currently booting eight distro's and have been using Linux exclusively for several years.

I've run literally dozens of distros over the years, currently:  Mepis (Debian based), PCLinuxOS (Mandriva based), Vector (Slackware based), Fedora (Red Hat based), openSUSE (Novell based), Sabayon (Gentoo based), Tiny Core and I even keep a version of XP for those rare occasions when I simply must use Windows.

So you see TC is but one of the many Linux distros that I use and tinker with.

As a matter of fact this is the only time I have not been able to cut and paste into a terminal.

Having now installed lxterminal I can cut and paste all I want.

Thank you Gerald, I thought as much at first, but since I could find one in TC (not preloaded anyway) I thought it may have been a command built into the terminal.

I'll give MC a try.

So what is the SU password anyway?

Now I'm in a Catch-22 situation.

I need MC to modify the file so that I can reboot/shut down with a backup.
However even after installing MC and adding it to On Boot, it still does not appear and I need to reboot with Backup in order for it to appear.
But I can't shut down or reboot with Backup.

Catch-22.

At this point I am thinking it would be a whole lot easier to just wipe TC from my hard drive and reinstall it.

[gerald_clark]

Shutdown without a backup. You can edit .filetool.lst after you reboot.

I just wiped and reinstalled TC.

Instead of Alsa I used OSS and it seems to work fine and without issue.

I also installed Mplayer and MC, put on the On Boot list, however even after rebooting twice they do not appear.

How do I make them appear?

VLC simply tells me it cannot open the MRL.

FF no longer crashes on full screen video, instead it give me an error message saying Flash has crashed.

[Neo]

Okay I now have Mplayer working and it does work just fine.

MC still does not appear though.

[gerald_clark]

Try mc from a terminal.  You may have to load ncurses.

If you mean midnight-commander it doesn't depend on ncurses.

Does pasting into aterm now work as expected or not?

It still won't let you cut and paste, however now that lxterminal is installed it's a moot point.

[Neo]

Actually does anyone know how to remove Aterminal from the panel (On Demand bar)?
I have LXTerminal on the panel and don't see a need for Aterminal on there.

[Neo]

Try mc from a terminal.  You may have to load ncurses.

I tried that and it's not very usable.  A lot of junk appears on the screen and it wasn't possible to navigate to all of the files.

Is there some way to get MC to launch without using the terminal?

Or is there some other file manager program that you could recommend?
I didn't see Dolphin on the list of programs.

[gerald_clark]

Don't run mc under lxterminal.
It runs just fine under aterm.
