    That's because the lucid mplayer package is command line only.

    If you wish a gui then install a frontend such as smplayer and or gnome-mplayer.

    (medibuntu has a mplayer package for lucid that is the old gmplayer frontend - though I'd think you'll find the above more suitable

    .it shows error:-

    bt_audio_service_open: connect() failed: Connection refused (111)
    Can be ignored - all svn. builds of mplayer on lucid show that, personally don't have a clue - bt = bluetooth...?

    than nothing appears..except some commands realted to mplayer...like opening the file etc..
    Post the complete terminal output inc. command in a quote box. (though do try a frontend first

    Hi Sunny,

    Code:
    bt_audio_service_open: connect() failed: Connection refused (111)
    There was some discussion on this the other day on #mplayer. Does your computer have some bluetooth packages installed but no actual bluetooth devices operating or available? Have a search on Synaptic...

    You think that's air you're breathing now?

    There are quite a number of bluetooth related packages installed in lucid whether you have bluetooth devices or not or have them disabled.

    (there is only 1 -dev package

    I remember trying quite some time ago removing all that where possible though a couple are dependencies of packages one probably doesn't want to remove.
    (libbluetooth3 was the main one that would be difficult to remove

    The git mplayer does not show this...

    Edit:
    managed to get rid of it..., now to see what was causing

    The messages are caused by the bluez-alsa package. It has nothing to do with the build - uninstall that package and the messages go away, re-install and they return.

    I think you have solved one of the more irritating error messages under Lucid .

    maybe... but tonight this one takes the cake - relating to the braero, copy cd deal
    And this is on a straight up, no mods lucid.

    After installing the libs it wanted and having to do a reboot for them to be recognized (another karmic, lucid 'issue'), this is what shows up...
    (possibly 'irritating' is an understatement

    SOLVED: I lost sound in lucid 10.04. I removed bluetooth audio within synaptic and got it back.
    THANKS! bdd4bdd4 - 9-22-10
