After installing mplayer-skins # aptitude install mplayer-skins Now a symlink named "default" pointing to "clearplayer" directory is created
$ ls -l /usr/share/mplayer/skins/ total 12 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2009-09-11 14:44 blue drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2009-10-01 08:14 clearplayer lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 2009-10-01 08:14 default -> clearplayer drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2009-10-01 08:14 mini Perhaps "mplayer-skins" should be a dependency for "mplayer" package instead of "mplayer-skin-blue" Deleted ~/.mplayer directory and restarted gmplayer from shell, but still gmplayer's control panel is all black (no controls are visible) -- gmplayer does not find the default skin https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/390398 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
