BUMP.
BUMP.
Sorry - this is poor netiquette. I'm only doing it because I think this has a simple solution: Open Terminal and use CL to set the screensaver to something other than Fedback.
Can...
I loved it for half an hour - despite the first thing I had to do being to change a bright pink wallpaper that it gave me.
Then half an hour of Karmic bliss until...I started exploring the...
In another thread, various people (including me) have mentioned that we have trouble with the 'Feedback' screensaver. If you select it in the dialog box, it locks up the screen. And it locks when...
Same problem, and only with the Feedback screensaver.
However...I can't use the Screensaver dialog box to de-select Feedback. It freezes as soon as I bring up the dialog box with Feedback...
Do any of the mainstream iPod managers/ media players let you back up the contents of your iPod to HDD, also copying metada data with them?
(I'm hoping someone will say Rhythmbox, because that...
I'm returning to Ubuntu after an absence. It's looking much improved...except I can't install.
I have 2 HDDs. One has an XP installation, the other is empty. That's where I want to install.

I think I've had the same error message simply from a wrong url - although yours looks right.
I was wrong. Now it displays my database in about a minute. Before it was over an hour. But it still crashes every five albums or so.
Amarok...Rhythmbox...I'm not sure if you can use these...
Edgy upgrade hasn't fixed gtkpod for me.
Try here:

I usually find it difficult to add many songs at the same time (but I usually manage more than 8!). When I have a big album loading session, I usually get a crash at least once every five albums. ...
What (if any) configuration is needed to get Opera to handle on-page media? With Firefox in Ubuntu, you have to add various plugins. Is there a HowTo for Opera?
Mmm! Tasty banana. Thanks.
(And you know what bononos do with bananas...;) )
I'd love to try Floola...but I'm still reluctant. 2 reasons:
I'm using gtkpod now. I know that some people have had problems using gtkpod, then switching to something else, then going back to...
Yes...but it has some wrinkles that I found by trial and error.
To add a .jpg as album art, select the track in your libray list, Right-Click and 'Change Details'. This lets you add the art from...
Hmm. The Floola documentation isn't quite there yet, is it? And there's only a tiny thumbnail of a screenshot.
Has anyone used it succesfully? Will I be able to get it to play with my 5G 'Pod? ...
I've linked the HowTo to a new page, listing rtps URLs for various stations https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadioURLs. So far I've only added BBC ones, but I'll be extracting more v. soon.
Any...
What a coincidence! 2 consecutive posts from posters within anout half a mile of one another (Scotstoun, me).
In general what I dislike most is shared by all Linux distros - in fact, Ubuntu is...
Kcron - a KDE front-end for cron: http://docs.kde.org/stable/en/kdeadmin/kcron/index.html
Available as .deb
Yes...I'd figured out it was probably something to do with a cron.
In this case, it would have to:
Start of Vsound at time X...Issue: do station URLs remain constant?

It says here that VLC doesn't support Real audio formats.
That sounds promising - especially if it can transcode directly to .mp3 without the intervening .wav stage.
The documentations a little confusing, to my non-geek eye. Can anyone point me at a How...
With the danger of this turning into a mutual backslapping fest...

It's the communities that have kept me going these last few...
Excellent! I'll link it. A question, though...does the mplayer method bypass the soundcard? That's a major consideration for me, because I have an ancient, crappy, low-spec machine.
Thanks for...
