jlc Posted October 23, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2004 FYI.... After building a new box and needing mplayer I tried to use Marilets unstable and no worky, he must be moving to more bleeding edge debian but, if you move to testing, you should be able to install most everything. # Mplayer and dvd::rip (video-dvdrip) deb ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/ testing main Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ubuntu Wiki: http://wiki.ubuntulinux.org The wiki is a shared web space used by the Ubuntu community to develop new ideas for Ubuntu. Anybody is welcome to edit and add to the wiki. Ubuntu IRC Channel: #ubuntu and on irc.freenode.net The Ubuntu IRC channel is your best place to start for help and discussion about Ubuntu and the Warty Warthog release. We aim to keep the signal-to-noise ratio as high as possible on that channel, and on all community forums. Ubuntu Mailing Lists: Ubuntu mailing lists are the heart of our community. In addition to the announcement list, and lists for users and developers of Ubuntu, there are now Ubuntu mailing lists in German, French, Spanish as well as lists devoted to Ubuntu security, news, translators, and the inevitable lighthearted chitchat list ("the Sounder"). To get more information or subscribe, visit: http://lists.ubuntu.com Warty Warthog Features * Simple and fast Installation Ubuntu comes on one single CD, with thousands of extra packages available online. The install is optimised for speed and simplicity. Ubuntu has excellent support for laptops (both x86 based and Powerbook / iBook PPC based), and can also be setup in a minimalist server configuration. * GNOME 2.8 Ubuntu was the first distribution to ship Gnome 2.8, on the day of the 2.8 release. Ubuntu is a great way to try out Gnome 2.8 if you have not already experienced its speed and simplicity. * Firefox 0.9 (with security patches) * First class productivity software Evolution 2.0 and OpenOffice.org 1.1.2 * XFree86 4.3 with improved hardware support We also worked hard to detect as much hardware as possible, simplifying the X install considerably. Warty can be installed in a minimalist mode for servers, or in full desktop mode. It works well on laptops and desktops. Warty is secure by design - a key goal was to ensure that Warty was as safe from attack over the internet as possible after a default install. Thanks to the team of professional and volunteer maintainers who have worked so hard to bring the Warthog to life, and also to our rapidly growing community, who have provided excellent testing and ideas for the future of Ubuntu! "Ubuntu" is an ancient African word for "humanity towards others", and we think it's a perfect name for an open source community project. In that spirit we invite you to join, to contribute and to share Ubuntu with your own community. Our next release, the Hoary Hedgehog, is due in six months time. You can help to shape it by joining the team and contributing your own expertise. See you at #ubuntu on irc.freenode.net. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FX Posted November 9, 2004 Report Share Posted November 9, 2004 For those of you Ubuntu users and have your repos pointed to Hoary the next release. Xorg is now up and ready to install. I have it running on here. Only problem I have so far with Hoarty is trying to run Enemy Territory. When I start it all I get is a black screen. If I move my mouse/pointer around i can move that black screen around and see an overly large desktop underneath. Just the one side and the bottom. Not sure whats causing that.

FX Posted November 10, 2004 Report Share Posted November 10, 2004 Well I got Enemy Territory working. Come to find out that Hoary loads esd on startup and for some reason that was blocking ET from starting. I also had no sound in XMMS. I ran killall kill esd and everything seems to start working again. Also in <computer><desktop preference><sound> if you disable the 'sound server' on the first tab that will prevent esd from loading on startup. Couple of people in #ubuntu helped me with that.

bvc Posted November 12, 2004 Report Share Posted November 12, 2004 yeah, what's up with that? For 2 years all distros move towards alsa, away from oss and sound servers, and ubuntu pulls this? I never imagined my sound was working because esd was running :o I saw that alsa was installed and running and assumed it was business as usual. Disable esd and I have no sound and I don't wanna mess with this crap! Hassle free is/was the reason I was using ubuntu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
