I also use Ubuntu Gutsy 64 bit version and I have Freevo 1.75 installed from source. I have never had luck getting Freevo to work from the "Ubuntu" repository run by Geole, so I would suggest using Synaptic to get rid of what you have installed now and download and install the same version from Freevo's website , using the the source code tarballs for Freevo and the 3 Kaa support modules.They're really easy to install. Just remember it's all Python code, so when you install, cd to your home directory and then "python setup.py install", instead of the more common ./configure,make, make install.This applies to Freevo and the Kaa modules.Then configure Freevo as you would have normally.

I'm running the amd64 version of the distro. 1. Freevo no longer runs! I didn't make any changes to my configs, and freevo just silently fails to load.
