Hmmm, you haven't installed the W32Codecs from Medibuntu by any chance 
have you?

I wonder if you had the W32Codecs installed before upgrading and if it's 
removed them during the upgrade.

[ubuntu-uk] Recent winff problems- Xvid unknown codec

[Javad Ayaz]

Hi,

After recently updating from gutsy to hardy via the update manager... i keep
getting this error message "xvid, unknown codec".

Winff worked fine previously so i dont know whats gone wrong!

Searching the net yielded nothing so maybe no one else has reported it yet!

Any ideas on how i could remedy this please?

Regards

Javad

OK so I got Ndiswrapper installed, the Realtek 8187b Win98 driver is
installed, if I issue all the modprobe commands, there are no errors. The
GUI for Ndiswrapper tells me the drive is installed and the hardware is
present.
However, if I go to Network settings, the wireless adapter does NOT show up.
I've tried forcing the load, everything. Still no-show.

HELP!



  Have you followed instructions and done as below?
   
a.. Install ndiswrapper-utils-1.9 via your preferred method. 

b.. From the terminal run: sudo ndiswrapper -i 
/your_path_to/wireless_driver.inf 

c.. We now check if the driver has correctly installed. From the terminal 
run: ndiswrapper -l. If all is good you will see the following output: 

sis163u : driver installed 

  a.. device (0BF8:100F) present 

d.. Next we do the dependencies and load up the ndiswrapper kernel module. 
Run: sudo depmod -a followed by sudo modprobe ndiswrapper. This will load 
everything and allow you to use NetworkManager to check if any wireless 
networks are available. 

Note: Rebooting will drop the module. 

e.. To have the module loaded at every boot add ndiswrapper to a newline at 
the bottom of /etc/modules. 

  Regards

  Phil

Probably due to the fact that you're dual booting. Possibly Windows is 
assuming that the hardware (bios) clock is "local" time (BST) and Ubuntu has 
been told that the hardware clock is UTC (roughly GMT, which is an hour 
behind). Maybe :)

Cheers,
Al.

Your PCs system clock is probably incorrect, this has all sorts of weird 
side-effects.
