Didn't have them all. Currently installing...

 

[/usr/bin]

okay

 

[Chxta]

Installed. Anything else?

 

[/usr/bin]

well, I want you to try playing it now.. See what happens..

 

[Martin]

Nawaf, your custom title is too vague. You should change it to "Ubuntu support technician"

 

[/usr/bin]

It's too long

EDIT: Okay, I'll change it, provided that you pay for the services.
I didn't get to the top of my mountain of sleaze and ubuntu disks by paying for any costs

 

[Martin]

So just hack it then

 

[/usr/bin]

Hey, you're the one with the inside info, not me

 

[Chxta]

Sorry, at work, so I can't do that

 

[/usr/bin]

oh..
Well, I'll tell you what to do in case it doesn't work:

1. Install libdvdread3
2. Check
3. If it doesn't work, then we'll need to get xine installed:

sudo apt-get remove totem-gstreamer
sudo apt-get install totem-xine
sudo apt-get install libdvdcss2

libdvdcss2 decrypts encrypted dvds.. that might be your problem..

 

[Chxta]

Did all that, still not working.

Why? With both Hoary and Breezy Xine worked out of the box. Or is the problem with this latest version of xine?

 

[/usr/bin]

..but Dapper, by default, runs gstreamer and not xine...

hmm... I'm out.. maybe you could take it up with the kind folks at www.ubuntuforums.org?

 

[Chxta]

2 weeks? Expect a ~5 week delivery time. And that was to Norway, to Nigeria it might be 5 months.

I got them 2 weeks ago. That was 6 weeks after I made the order

 

[Martin]

Hey, congrats arty:

I just installed Dapper on two systems this week, one of which is the one I'm currently typing this from. Have to say Ubuntu isn't really "human" yet, still requires some know how, but it's getting there.

 

[Chxta]

Yeah. I am doing Ubuntu with KDE. Prefer that to kubuntu. By the way I want to disturb your blog a l'il...

 

[Martin]

Disturb? How?

 

[mikhail]

I just got the CD. Haven't had time to install it yet. Is it a big improvement on the last version?

 

[Martin]

define big

It sorta depends, if you had bugs in the last one and in this one you don't, that would be a big improvement. Otherwise it's just a refinement, but they keep adding stuff.

It's more 'streamlined' if you will.. It's still the same goodness, only performance has improved (for me at least) and hardware compatibility has been given a huge boost, I've heard..
