I installed the VLC Player from their website. It will not play anything, although it does fire up. All I get is an error message telling me to check the log.
I have several Linux apps- games- in a folder. They include IPP Lemmings and the Linux version of "Micron." If I use the terminal it tells me that the file cannot be found.
Clearly this does not work the way Puppy Linux does. Linux does not include ready-to-go media apps and the like. I am assuming one must do something to "activate" these things.
In detail what must I do? I am using Bionic Beaver. This is on a chimera ASUS with NOTHING of importance (e.g. banking information) on it.
Thank you in advance.
(Note- I did somehow get the included media player working. Firefox now plays certain media files so obviously Bionic Beaver does not come with the needed codecs. Also note that the game foklders were simply copied onto the ASUS from a USB stick.)
