As such, it's been very frustrating to me that Amarok (a feature-rich music player) for about a month now has crashed every time I try to scan my collection. The "helpful" error message suggests that maybe "taglib " (a library for reading metadata from MP3, Ogg, FLAC, and MPC multimedia files) was responsible. Okay. After spending a few hours searching I discovered that this issue comes up often in relationship to problems with the SQLite (a simplified version of an SQL database engine) database Amarok uses by default. Computing > Linux > Howto narky Sat, 04 Nov 2006 10:09:01 GMT http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=249442 If you feel up to it, I strongly recommend installing amarok from source. There are lots of things that don't work in the kubuntu version, one thing being automatic tagging. It's really not so hard to install from source, especially if you've already installed it via the package as most of the dependencies will already be met.

"Where's the EXE?", "Where do I need to extract this to?", "How do I run it?", "Where did it go?" - have you been thinking questions like these? Don't worry, installing software, themes and other things on Ubuntu is actually very easy! This guide will help you understand with screenshots, instructional videos and to-the-point language.

I prefer the method described in that guide to this one, but your mileage may vary. Both have their pros and cons so make sure you check out both before applying the instructions. Problem: Dapper ships with gnome-screensaver instead of xscreensaver, which gives the user no option to set individual screensaver settings.

If not, try Code: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list Computing > Linux > Howto narky Mon, 20 Nov 2006 03:37:57 GMT http://www.ubuntulinux.nl/source-o-matic Here you can generate an ubuntu sources.list for your preferred set of repositories. Just tick all repositories you want. The default set is selected automatically. If you know another repository that should be included here, feel free to send your suggestion to dennis@ubuntu.com When a repository in this list has a GPG key, you may need to add that to the APT trusted keys. You can do this with the following commands (replace KEY with the key ID) Computing > Linux > Howto narky Fri, 03 Nov 2006 07:14:59 GMT http://www.pcmech.com/show/os/917/1/ Alright, so you have successfully installed Ubuntu Linux, but now what do you do with it? You are in the right place. I am going to get you started with a guide on how to use your new Ubuntu system. This transition guide is targeted at existing Windows users and will show you how to do program installations, a little system configuration, but primarily highlight some Windows "replacement" programs for common applications you can't live without. This guide's intent is to introduce you to equivalent programs to what you are accustomed to and, hopefully, to cover a good amount of what you might want in a new install.

I'm not sure if there's a command to clear the history, but I know they're stored in ~/.bash_history so I guess what I'd do is open the file up and manually delete the entries. Code: sudo gedit ~/.bash_history Computing > Linux > Howto narky Sun, 05 Nov 2006 02:18:12 GMT
