I don't know where to find an older version of kmplayer. Perhaps the ubuntu lucid repos?

But I found this...

http://kplayer.sourceforge.net/

It's rather out of date and it's development is dead, but it has a browser kpart and seems like it will probably work.

I wonder if Kplayer is less resource hungry then Kmplayer. VLC has a browser plugin, and there's a new version of Xine-ui and plugin as well.

Anyway, for youtube, there is Minitunes.

What browser is going to be default?

I just installed on one of my pc's.
Works very well on Celeron 2.8 Ghz, 2 GB of RAM (DDRI) & Nvidia FX 5200.

The unique bad point its has old Kernel. But all the rest are really good.
Congrats for making this possible.

Are lenny repos still accessible? I just did a search for kmplayer in debian packages and it only gave me squeeze as oldest version?

@Eldes glad it works for you too

if you are updating deps from squeeze you may run into conflicts. the big difference will likely be that the kde deps from squeeze will be for kde4 vs 3.5
unless kde is your highest priority, i might suggest using dejan's dpup 485. http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=67662

it has updated libs and will run most lucid pets and various from slacko . not counting the 485.pets

plus all pets from series 4. i also have few issues running new software in .deb or tar. tar's get extracted to folder and run from there.

glad to see that people are finding the pup that works without all the kernel and xorg issues.. ;}

Saintless? The "right-copy paste" of which you speak can be easily done with the file manager XFE found in the "Additional Software" section of this forum under "File Managers". Not only that but XFE can be made either a two-pane/three-pane file manager, or can even be made to resemble Windows Explorer with the "directory tree" down the left-hand side of the manager and one pane for files on the right-hand side.

Most of the .pets found on the forum here for XFE likewise contain the extra apps which go with XFE, like a document reader/editor as well as an image viewer, screenshot programme, and more. It may be worth looking into perhaps? I've consistently used it ever since MU introduced me to it nearly 6 years ago now and is the very first thing I install on ANY new linux installation. I couldn't survive without it! Smile

I hope this has helped in some small way?

Hey! Thank you for that Saintless! That's one feature I always missed in ROX... although I learnt very quickly that a simple drag from one window to the other opened window did nearly the same thing. But this is really neat and something I've searched around for a long time.

Thank you very much again! Very Happy
