(looking for helpful thread for information) Ah yes - information that alan pope kindly gave: = From: Alan Pope <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: British Ubuntu Talk Date: Tue, 03 Jul 2007 22:18:56 +0100 Subject: Re: [ubuntu-uk] Firefox and BBC video (sigh) [snip] Add the medibuntu repo as per these instructions - this is so you can install the necessary codecs. http://www.medibuntu.org/repository.php sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get remove totem-mozilla sudo apt-get install mozilla-mplayer w32codecs You should then find that opening firefox and going to any of the bbc realplayer pages you can click "play in realplayer" and it should work in the browser. = I note that previous to this I was using the real.com binary, and before following the above instructions I systematically found and deleted anything that Real installed (quite a lot of effort for a couch gui user like me) just to keep things 'clean'.

[ubuntu-uk] General Strike september 11th 2007?
Anybody else taking part? Yes its mostly about America - but most of its related to us - a foreign war in the name of "freedom" - a government taking away our rights. Liberty taken away by CCTV and ID cards. Hundreds of our troops being killed in Afgahnistan and Iraq. We should stand with the American people on this one http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=4157941601 http://www.strike911.org/ NO WORK NO SCHOOL NO SHOPPING -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/

I have the mplayer plugin for Firefox installed, I clicked on listen now, then on the player and choose copy url. I use the same trick to listen to the radio on the BBC website. -Gav -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Application to listen to online radio
I seems like you need to play this in windows media player: http://mediaweb.musicradio.com/playlist.asx?streamid=55 But there's one small problem with that: /windows/ media player..

Very similar to the questions I floated past yourself last week. How to come to terms with sudo compromise, or avoid or harden against it. Or in fact how to discover it has happened. Logically the questions would have led to an assessment of risk of 'trusted' software - repositories etc, although it was cut short as 'flogging a dead horse' :-) The comments and answers you kindly offered (thanks!) were excellent in addressing various actions for an increasing level of assurance of security, should one wish it. I am attracted to the idea of at some time, posting on the same forum an edited version of your comments as an answer to my satisfied needs fro knowledge, because it seemed to me that a number of others similar uncertainties. The standard answers of 'use only trusted software' is a good initial answer but even novices know life is not so simple, and knowledge of further courses of action helps, to set a perspective. -- alan cocks Kubuntu user#10391 -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/

Ubuntu Servers Hacked http://it.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=07/08/15/1341224 If this is true it is pretty sad. It will take some time for confidence to be regained. What a gift (or a result?) for the opposition! I was recently trying to reduce my ignorance about security by asking questions about security, and on the ubuntu forums I had asked a couple of questions about security which were apparently so tiresome that they were immediately sidelined into a dead thread! I posted a request for reinstatement in the resolution forum, but have not heard anything yet. In the few days since I was totally ignorant, I have become slightly better informed, and maybe an appropriate question for the forums should now be about the story of th eking and his new clothes? The off-handedness (of presumably the admin/s) in the ubuntu forums I stumbled into is ironic indeed in the circumstances. -- alan cocks Kubuntu user#10391 -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
