Hello guys, I noticed LXmusic is in the Ubuntu lucid repo´s, I installed it on my Ubuntu lucid desktop and after choosing an output plugin (default is none for some reason) in the settings menu it nicely played my mp3´s and possibly also other files. Will the next Lubuntu (Maverick) use LXmusic in

VLC is all I ever use. Choice is good, and with Lubuntu we seem to have lots of choices. I removed Abiword, Gnumeric, Chromium, Sylpheed, added Google Chrome dev, Pan, and Vlc. Doesn't really matter what the default packages are as long as they can be removed, replaced, etc. Just my $0.02. 201

The problem is, we could discuss which applications to include for years and never reach a consensus. Chrome is good, developed regularly and efficient. The only browser I'd include over Chrome is the newest Midori which is extremely good. Its improved lots since it was tested for the Lucid build.

Hi, *Video* well I still have not gotten MPlayer to play copyrighted dvd's (I think I downloaded every codec, mythbuntu and everything else) I popped vlc on and it worked out of the box. I know that playing dvd's is not high on the list of things for lubuntu to do ;-) *Music* Aqualung I'm quietly

Fully agree, but we must consider not to make the same errors than Puppy and its derivatives. It has a bunch of UGLY applications and a hard way to configure a few things. You cannot add drivers (like HP Scanners or Brother printers). We're in the right way, but we need, obviously, to improve our
