w32codecs apt-get prob!

[jrsoit]

hey all,

for the second time today another apt-get question from me.

this time i added to my sources.list

deb ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/ etch main

so that i could retrive the w32codecs for kaffeine or mplayer
still cant even find myplayer to download yet, but ill deal with that later
anyway after i add to my sources I run apt-get update and this is what i get at the end of my shell script.

seems to me as if deb ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/ etch main dosent even exist, can anyone help a n00b!

Don't use marillat, use plf (http://wiki.ubuntu-fr.org/doc/plf).

I did a search and found some plf repos, like the freecontrib.org ones, then when I apt-get install w32codecs it says does not exist or can not find them.

[kubicle]

Did you do a 'apt-get update' to refresh the package lists (to include the repos you added)?

[jrsoit]

yes i did, and even went into adept to make sure they were active, but nothing, nada zip, even tried just to see apt-get install kmplayer, xmms and a couple others, nothing, i am not on my comp right now, but in a bit i will post my sources.list since i know that info might help, please be patient with me. thanks for all the help so far.

Does that computer connect to the internet? Because it doesn't look like it does:

[jrsoit]

yeah but i am on a buisness restricted firewall when i am at work, and it filters bad sites, so that could be it.

Why not just download the .deb to your desktop?
ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/pool/main/w/w32codecs/w32codecs_20050412-0.0_i386.deb

Then, open up a Konsole terminal and
cd Desktop
sudo dpkg -i w32codecs_20050412-0.0_i386.deb

I was told not to use that repos, milliant, not sure why though, but I might give it a try, thanks!
