Hi,
do you know a place where I can download themes for fedora core 3 (or
must I download themes for my kde?).

Be sure to get the right type of theme for your window manager.

New subject: Rhythmbox and mp3 files
I've been trying to get the music player Rhythmbox to play mp3 files.
I've followed the instructions in the FC4 installation notes
(http://stanton-finley.net/fedora_core_4_installation_notes.html) that
include the following:
"Rhythmbox (Music Player) is the default music player in FC4 but does
not come with MP3 support out of the box because of patent issues. To
enable MP3 support for Music Player configure apt and synaptic as
described above. In Synaptic click on the "reload" icon to update your
package list. Find the gstreamer stuff and click in the checkboxes (then
click "Mark for installation") for each of "gstreamer",
"gstreamer-plugins", "gstreamer-plugins-extra-audio", and
"gstreamer-tools". Click the "Apply" button in Synaptic. You should
now
have MP3 support in Rhythmbox (Music Player)."
After doing this, Synaptic shows gstreamer (0.8.10-1) gstreamer-plugins
(0.9.8-9), gstreamer-plugins-extra-audio (0.8.8-2.2.fc4), and
gstreamer-tools (0.8.10-1) all marked as installed.
When I load a CD of mp3 files and have Rhythmbox
import /media/cdrecorder, the mp3 files all show in as dimmed --
suggesting that the player isn't recognizing them as anything it can
play.
Any suggestions as to how to proceed? Do I need to install more
"gstreamer stuff"? Googling various combinations of "gstreamer",
"rhythmbox", and "mp3" has left me totally confused as to why this
mp3
work-around... isn't working.
Thanks for the help!

yum upgrade
Here's where I get nervous. According to the FC4 installation notes
(http://stanton-finley.net/fedora_core_4_installation_notes.html):
As you continue please keep the following in mind: You should not use
the livna.org repository in conjunction with the
dag/freshrpms/dries/newrpms/PlanetCCRMA (RPMforge) collection of rpms in
your configuration files for automatic updates. Use one group or the
other but not both. You should be made aware that there are two
“schools” of rpm packagers for Fedora Core extra applications. One group
consists of the livna.org repository and the other group consists of the
dag/freshrpms/dries/newrpms/PlanetCCRMA (RPMforge) repositories. One of
the most common causes of errors and failures in a new Fedora Core
installation has been the mixing of these two incompatible repository
collections for automatic updates. These two groups of rpm repositories
have been for the most part mutually incompatible in the past and in
some cases have been known to cause serious errors in Fedora Core
installations if used together. It is unfortunate that these two groups
have not found some common ground for consensus and have not gotten
together and made their repositories compatible with one another.

This still doesn't work.
Either Livna was not added correctly or your system is somewhat screwed
up.
gstreamer-plugins-mp3 from Livna works just fine on a clean FC4 install.
Maybe you fiddled too much with repositories and stuff.
Interestingly, when I install
gstreamer-plugins-mp3, gstreamer-plugins-extra-audio is automatically
deleted:
Yes, that's normal.

Welcome to the repository hell, formerly known as RPM dependency hell.
It's still manageable, if you know what you're doing. Bottom line:
- enable as few repositories as possible
- only use "clean" repos, the ones that do not replace core packages but
just add new ones. Livna is an example, Extras is another.
dag is nice but if enabled it can totally screw up many core packages.
Same with atrpms and planetccrma.
Well, "screw up" is perhaps too harsh, but if you do a "yum update"
with
any of those repos enabled your system is not Fedora Core proper
anymore.
I thought freshrpms is "clean" but I may be wrong.
Myself, I keep Extras and Livna enabled permanently. Any other
repository is disabled and I only install certain packages from it (with
--enablerepo). This policy keeps my FC4 systems clean.

I've been trying to get the music player Rhythmbox to play mp3 files.
I had to add the livna repository to yum:
rpm -ivh http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release4.rpm
Then I added the packages from this list that I didn't already have
installed:

leaving me with:

[230] /home/magnusg $ rpm -qa|grep gstreamer
gstreamer-devel-0.8.10-1
gstreamer-plugins-0.8.8-9
gstreamer-ffmpeg-0.8.7-1.2.fc4.rf
gstreamer-0.8.10-1
gstreamer-plugins-extra-audio-0.8.11-0.lvn.2.4
gstreamer-plugins-extra-video-0.8.11-0.lvn.2.4
gstreamer-tools-0.8.10-1
Just duplicate what works for someone else... maybe what I should have
done in the first place :) Some of these packages might not be
necessary for Rhythmbox to play mp3s, but the combination works
nonetheless!
Thanks, Craig!

Either Livna was not added correctly or your system is somewhat screwed

gstreamer-plugins-mp3 from Livna works just fine on a clean FC4 install.
