Try disabling "slow keys," if it's enabled. I don't know how or why it got enabled, but it doesn't help.

Go to K > System Settings > Regional & Accessibility (near the top) > Accessibility > Keyboard Filters > Uncheck "Use slow keys"

        Yea so apparently my multisession DVDs in ISO 9960 + Joliet are worthless with Ubuntu, since the system will crash, yes crash, if I insert them and automount. So far, I've tested plain old ISO 9960 and Ubuntu seems to support multisession well, except it doesn't support file names longer than 8 characters long. :(

        Install the latest nightly build, and you should be good to go. :)

        Still can't get WMV's to play even after installing w32codecs, and you're running Ubuntu, with Gnome? Well, for me, all I needed to do next was install gstreamer0.10-pitfdll . :)

        Well, a few weeks ago, upon my first installation of Kubuntu, I realized that I couldn't use my arrow keys to play flash games, namely Neopets. The keys simply would not respond, and it wasn't like they were broken, they just flat out didn't cooperate with the Linux version of Flash, which as we all know is outdated and slightly buggy. Well today, thanks to a good aquaintance I found a quick fix:

Well there you have it. One of the last obstacles keeping me from switching my last computers to Linux has been removed, as I can now enjoy Neopets games from the comforts of my very own laptop running Ubuntu.

Well, apparently MP3 support is iffy for all versions of Linux, probably due to copyright issues. Anyways, thanks to a few forum posts, and Jacob's Weblog I was able to get it running.

Just an FYI: Sound Juicer is your default ripper and Rhythmbox plays your music.

Yay, for Ubuntu Wiki! Okay so after much searching to rip and play Mp3's in Ubuntu visit the following Wiki pages, or just follow the instructions that I've written:
Restricted Formats
Ubuntu Ripping Cds


So here's what you need to do for Ubuntu 6.06 LTS:

1. You're going to need to download/install a few packages. Make sure the Multiverse and Universe repositories are enabled. You're going to need to install the following packages (Order isn't important):
   • gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly
     
   • gstreamer0.8-lame
     
   • gstreamer0.8-mad
     
   • gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly-multiverse
     
   • gstreamer0.8-misc
   
   
   
2. Okay gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly, gstreamer0.8-mad and gstreamer0.8-misc should let you play Mp3s now.
   
   
3. Next go into Sound Juicer and go to "Prefrences" look at "Output Format" and click "Edit Profiles."
   
   
4. Hit "New."
   
5. Quote:
   Profile Name: MP3 128
   Description: Blah
   GStreamer Pipeline: audio/x-raw-int,rate=44100,channels=2 ! lame name=enc bitrate=128 ! id3v2mux
   File Extension: mp3
   
   
6. Now, then you just enabled MP3 ripping at a 128k bitrate, you can change the bit-rate to whatever you like. Whoot! If the files are comming out garbled or 40mb each, you probably forgot to install one of the packages, just go back and double check.
   

Make a shortcut to the Java that you installed and replace the one in /usr/bin/ with the one you just made.

Also sudo hddtemp /dev/hda

Sad isn't it.
I think it had to do with X-Server dying on me.

On Kubuntu 6.06, type in kdesu kate in the terminal and navigate to the file.

The Xorg.conf fix for any computer using a savage based GPU is as follows. Add the two lines:

        Okay, just for future reference, the package libmad0_0.15.1b-2.1_i386.deb is required to install Xine, through Adept. To unpackage the file go through the terminal and type dpkg libmad0_0.15.1b-2.1_i386.deb .
