the whole kde-enchilada is installed in /opt/kde in AL.

install the 'kdeadmin' pkg.

I guess you need the 'codecs' pkg.

zen;
I located the /opt/kde files and you state that I should install kdeadmin . I would think it to be already installed through pacman -Syu?

I have downloaded mplayer plug-in.so. Where should I insert it?

The files I have in /opt/kde/include do not include kdeadmin. Should it be a directory or a file. I also do not find kuser which I guess is part of kdeadmin or is it called kadmin?
I assume I am in the right file and that the pacman -Syu would load that file and it would be in that spot, right?

I re-checked and still do not find kdeadmin. It is listed in pacman -Q as an installed package. That means to me that it should be evident in the /opt file.

However, I expect that the name kdeadmin only applies to the pkg and its contents are spread out over the AL files.

I would like to get mplayer working in root and user log-ins and also gmplayer neither of them do justice to mplayer right now.

In googling, I learn that kuser allows for the selection of options and I assume they are part of the solution. I also don't know where to put the codecs I mentioned altho /kde/lib has other similar elements in its files. I haven't a clue as to where the install of the kdeadmin pkg appears( pacman -Q says it is installed!!!!)
Confusion reigns!!!

To list the files in a package use 'pacman -Ql packagename'.

Thanks for reply.

I entered several times asking for the listing and receivved reply that ...no such file...

Entered Pacman -Q and kdeadmin is listed.

Entered pacman -Ql kdeadmin-3.1.5-1 and received the ...no such file...

Entered pacman -Ql /var/cache/pacman/pkg/kdeadmin-3.1.5-1.pkg.tar.gz and again ...no such file...\
I am doing something wrong???

pacman -Ql kdeadmin

Received a listing.
Located kuser.

Most of the file is unreadable but error listings at end mention no password for %1.

Located password in /etc/password and nedd to know what should be there for %1. %2 has name and password listed but %1(assumed to be root) has no name or password.

How do I change root? (%1 in kuser)

I'm pretty sure kuser is a program... you have to run it... not read it.
