Hi David Am I right that you installed Realplayer under Warty, upgraded to Hoary and then it didn't work anymore? I had the same problem, and solved it simply by removing the Realplayer install dir (which was located under /home) and reinstalled the 'latest version' (http://www.real.com/linux/?rppr=rnwk&src=040104freeplayer) of Real. -- crun
