thx! now i face other prob,which is play full screen video while compiz is enabled..wanna ask, what is the best video player for ubuntu? i ike tis os, but many driver issue la...

Best video player? My choice is Totem but I like SMPlayer too because it's capable of playing .iso video files on-the-fly (no extraction needed).

Many drivers issues? All my hardware devices worked on my Ubuntu desktop. Which hardware doesn't work for you?

all hardware is working,but it is not perfectly ok..when compiz fusion is enabled, i cant play full screen video, have read somewhere dat ati card got many issue on ubuntu..this is my 4th day using ubuntu, kinda like it,there so much things to learn.

glad that u like it the display issue with ati cards r flickery display during video playback, when not in fullscreen. sometimes some newer driver r worst some how...depends on luck. thats y i switch to nvidia...but compiz seems smoother with ati, a bit stutter for nvidia some how

for media player, u can try smplayer(need kde library) or mplayer(native gnome app), most important of all, remember to install restricted stuff in aptitude type in restricted on the quick search, they will come up, check n install them. then install smplayer/mplayer, u'll be ready to enjoy movies, but not dvd yet.

I have problem with my jaunty. When i plug in my ext hdd (1TB) it cannot detect. My jaunty is 64bit version. So, keep wondering, if true linux can read/write large capacity hdd. Anyone knows?

just installed jaunty on my acer laptop with the realtek hd audio chipset. somehow or rather, whenever i play video's, it isnt very clear. theres like a very obvious distortion in the audio stream. anyone knows whats the problem ?

pardon my nuubness, just got it installed yesterday

Launch your terminal and type this command:

sudo modprobe -i usb_storage

i want to ask...y everytime when i logon to my ubuntu machine i have to perform sudo pppoeconf before i can sudo pon dsl-provider?

if i just sudo pon dsl-provider without sudo pppoeconf first i will not have an internet connection..this quite anoyying

What application are you using for playing the video? Try to change the audio device in the application's 'Preferences' to default or ALSA. The screenshot below is an MPlayer Preferences:

Are you using a wired connection? Use Auto eth0:

How to login pptp VPN from Ubuntu?

Use pptp-linux

Client for the proprietary Microsoft Point-to-Point Tunneling
Protocol, PPTP. Allows connection to a PPTP based VPN as used
by employers and some cable and ADSL service providers.

I am a MoreVPN user, forum.lowyat.net/topic/1020960

Jaunty failed to connect to the server. I have installed network-manager-pptp, and pptp-linux. The network icon showed some spinning yellow comet and a tiny lock, however it failed to connect and showed no error dialog.

Any idea where I did wrong?

What's the difference between



and



?

afaik ; functions like a line ending ; in php and the like. a;b;c just means do a then do b and then do c.

a && b && c pretty much does the same thing but it stops executing if a command throws up an error. if a has error, b and c won't run.
