You do realise that if you install realplayer and then reboot, you will lose it? This is due to you running off the live DVD/CD.

If you still want to install it, you need follow the instructions very carefully. In the instructions where you see a "$" sign, you do not type that sign, it is telling you that your prompt on the screen should have a dollar sign. For example it looks like you typed

ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ '/home/ubuntu/Desktop/RealPlayer10GOLD.bin' $ sudo ./RealPlayer10GOLD.bin

Where you should have:-

ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo ./RealPlayer10GOLD.bin

Which wont work, because the file is not executable, so you need to do what it says which is:-

ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ chmod a+x ./RealPlayer10GOLD.bin

Note you typed

ubuntu@ubuntu:~$
'/home/ubuntu/Desktop/RealPlayer10GOLD.bin' $ chmod a+x
realPlayer10GOLD.bin

Note that the file RealPlayer10GOLD.bin has a capital R.

 I was traying to do this.
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ chmod a+x RealPlayer10GOLD.bin
chmod: cannot access `RealPlayer10GOLD.bin': No such file or
directory
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ chmod a+x ./RealPlayer10GOLD.bin
chmod: cannot access `./RealPlayer10GOLD.bin': No such file or
directory
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$
Also
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ chmod a+x RealPlayer10GOLD.bin
chmod: cannot access `RealPlayer10GOLD.bin': No such file or
directory
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$
What is the problem here?

The file is in your ~/Desktop directory, so you need to go there first, like this:-

cd ~/Desktop
chmod a+x ./RealPlayer10GOLD.bin
sudo sh ./RealPlayer10GOLD.bin

 I followed your advice and first went to cd ~/Desktop and then wrote all the rest and I installed the realPlayer. Thank You!!!

 I installed the Ubuntu on my hard disk and now I wanted to install RealPlayer, but having the same problems installing
janka@janka-desktop:~$ chmod a+x RealPlayer10GOLD.bin
chmod: cannot access `RealPlayer10GOLD.bin': No such file or directory
And ... janka@janka-desktop:~$ sudo ./RealPlayer10GOLD.bin
Password:
sudo: ./RealPlayer10GOLD.bin: command not found
Also ... janka@janka-desktop:~$ ~/Desktop
bash: /home/janka/Desktop: is a directory
janka@janka-desktop:~$ chmod a+x RealPlayer10GOLD.bin
chmod: cannot access `RealPlayer10GOLD.bin': No such file or directory
 How to solve this problem?

Recently RealPlayer has been added also in edgy-commercial repositories:

http://archive.canonical.com/dists/edgy-commercial/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz

so you can install it simply by adding the Canonical commercial repos in your sources.list and then install RealPlayer with apt.

I think that the guide should be updated.

Hi

 thank you for advice , I installed RealPlayer from repo, but when I need to use it, to listen some programs from internet, I cannot find that player in my sistem,where it is hidden, cannot find it in system files and so on,
How to make realplayer play those files on an internet page that he is seposed to play and not some other player?

If you're using Firefox copy files nphelix.so and nphelix.xpi from the directory
/RealPlayer/plugins to /usr/lib/firefox/plugins.

Otherwise, yuo have to follow this procedure:

1) Open a new tab and type about:config in the address bar
2) Right click somewhere in the new tab and select New --> String
3) In the new window that will appear type: network.protocol-handler.app.rtsp
4) As value, insert the path of the realplayer esecutable file (it should be /usr/local/RealPlayer/realplay)
5) Close the tab and restart Firefox

 I followed your advice, whith new tab and so on, but those places where it ,needs to open whith realplayer he is not opening..
Coul you help me how to copy those files ? What else could be the problem?

Everything i should tell you is well described here:

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RealplayerInstallationMethods#head-02313c026706d5aca8b8b8f2a8a93e02727a1697

I hope that this will solve your troubles.

 I tryed to do what is written on that page, but something is not working
janka@janka-desktop:~$ /usr/lib/firefox/plugins
bash: /usr/lib/firefox/plugins: is a directory
