Make sure you have appropriate gstreamer plugins installed. You can verify this by trying to play the files with totem.

What do you mean by preview icon. There are actually three views for every file.

[ubuntu-in] Bookmarks in Chrome/Chromium bookmark bar not showing completely
I freshly installed chromium on Ubuntu 10.04 and the bookmarks I add in the bookmark bar do not appear fully. They are cut from top and from bottom, only the middle part of the icon and text (height-wise) is seen. I was having this problem when I was using lucid beta too but found no fix or reason. I did a fresh install of lucid now and yet the problems seems to be there. What should I do?

Any particular reason for using the older version? Ubuntu 9.04 was released in April last year. The latest version of Ubuntu i.e. Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (Lucid Lynx) was released yesterday and there is a release party at Andheri today. If you can visit there, you can get the 32 bit version of Ubuntu 10.04. Being an LTS (Long Term Support), Ubuntu 10.04 version will get the security updates for 3 years as compared to only 18 months for Ubuntu 9.04 which will eventually end this October. Check the link below for the annoucement regarding release party. It will be held from 5-7 pm today (30.04.2010) http://markmail.org/message/7cyj56qaaz4fln6e Regards Nitesh -- ubuntu-in mailing list ubuntu-in@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in

Re: [ubuntu-in] [Ubuntu-in] Linux Partition
Hi, When you install Ubuntu and select automatic partitions during installation, it creates two partitions - swap and / partition. Swap is usually double the size of RAM in your Computer. The remaining space is formatted as EXT4 Filesystem and is mounted at / partition which contains all the folders mentioned below. Another way I prefer is do a manual partition during instillation time. I manually make a swap partition (double the size of system RAM), / partition (About 20 GB which will install all the System/Program Files) and a separate /home partition. A separate home folder partition ensures that my home folder is not affected in case if anything happens to my my System partition (/). Also I'm able to reinstall/upgrade a different version keeping my home partition intact in the future.

But, for a desktop machine nowadays, I see no real reason to have a separate partition for /boot. I would say go with swap / /home The last one lets you upgrade/switch distributions without affecting user data.

Irrespective of single-boot or dual-boot setup I suggest you have a single root partition and a swap. My personal experience with different partitions is that you eventually run out of space on at least one of them. Still if you want to do separate partition then you should keep min 100MB for /boot, min 5GB for /root and rest for /home.
