[ubuntu-uk] Banshee ( music players generally)
I have now tried Rhythmbox, Amarok, and Banshee, and Banshee does seem to be the easiest to use --- you can compile a music library rather than being pushed straight into playlists (as with Amarok), and you can easily select to play albums, from the albums pane. But I would like to know how to prevent it from seeking to find cover art online -- this doesn't seem to have a disabling option in Preferences. I would also like to know how to change the albums panel from icons to plain listing. The intention of the designers seems to have been to acquire cover art for every album you have, and to display it as mini-icons next to the albums in the albums pane, but I don't want this feature at all. -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/

2009/4/27 Sean Miller s...@seanmiller.net: Why are Linux people so territorial?? Any attempts I make in Somerset to organise a release party for something like Ubuntu gets folks saying can't be doing with that - Debian's the only decent distro or Sorry, that's one of those Debian derivitives isn't it? apt-get reallys gets to me... give me Red Hat and yum any day.

We should surely be celebrating every Linux release, rather than forming into camps -- but it does seem that people get very tied to their own particular favourite distro. Probably why my local LUG has died a death... That's a real shame Sean. I remember having many a friendly conversation with the Bristol and Bath LUG members about RH v Ubuntu v SUSE (there are lots of Redhat/Fedora users there). A the Manchester release party there was at least one person in a Debian t-shirt and while people were keen to show off Ubuntu on their laptop I'm pretty sure most people there used/use at least one other distro. Ubuntu attracts a wide variety of people and has a really friendly community which is why I think they tend to be more keen on getting together to celebrate new releases. Certainly, I don't remember so much positive buzz around the last Fedora release and the last Debian release seemed to create plenty of negativity. -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/

We should surely be celebrating every Linux release, rather than forming into camps -- but it does seem that people get very tied to their own particular favourite distro. Exactly. Ultimately we are all in the same boat, ultimately we share similar values. When people start supporting distros like people blindly support football teams, they lose sight of the fundamental basics behind the whole thing.

If you downloaded the CD, you shouldn't need to download again, but I'm not sure about if you used aptitude, apt-get or update-manager. Sorry, I've just re-read your original email. It seems you were using update-manager. Open up your source.list sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list and comment out (by putting a hash before it) this line: deb cdrom:[Ubuntu 9.04 _Jaunty Jackalope_ - Release i386 (20090420.1)]/ jaunty main restricted That line would then turn into this: #deb cdrom:[Ubuntu 9.04 _Jaunty Jackalope_ - Release i386 (20090420.1)]/ jaunty main restricted Save the file, and close down gedit. Then run the following command, which will get a list of the new packages from the internet: sudo aptitude update Once done, run the following command which will (hopefully) update your system to Jaunty: sudo aptitude dist-upgrade If you get any errors, please copy them into pastebin (http://pastebin.com). There's a couple of other changes you might need to make, so I've put an updated source.list for you at http://pastebin.com/f3944dadb. To replace your current one with the updated one, just do the following in a terminal: cd sudo cp /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.bak wget http://pastebin.com/pastebin.php?dl=f3944dadb sudo mv pastebin.php\?dl\=f3944dadb /etc/apt/sources.list sudo aptitude update sudo aptitude dist-upgrade Again, if you have any errors put them on PasteBin. - -- Many thanks Harry Rickards (a.k.a l33tmyst) - -- () ascii ribbon campaign - against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org - against proprietary attachments -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkn1030ACgkQ1kZz3mRu0GqxUACgs+SAs9mHvHSu87lX93+wky+I WiEAoOhJ2XSiQPxjcoDh+Y8HzVNHEty8 =Pczj -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/

There was a good number of people at the manchester party who weren't necessaryly, ubuntu people, I met a few gentoo users, a lot of debian users and even one slackware fan. If anything I just think the ubuntu community is more orientated around the people that use ubuntu rather than ubuntu the software.
