Amarok works, but it *is* a feature regression over previous versions. It used to play CDs, for example. It does not now. Upstream's working on it, but they didn't consider it a priority for releasing Amarok2, thinking most people download their music, and ripping a CD doesn't take too long anyway. > > The new intel driver was > > and is broken.

Actually, Daniel, it is rather poor. You saw what happened on my computer. If I didn't turn on greedy, it would lock constantly. And seeing as it worked without greedy not a month before release, that was a very late regression. That the intel driver is slower than on Intrepid is a common complaint, but there are many different reasons depending on the hardware. For some people, greedy is the fix, others need to move forward to UXA (if that even works on their chip, which it does not necessarily do), and others have taken to installing the old drivers or to installing very new drivers from the X Swat PPA. > > It seems to me that too much trust was put in the fact that it'd > > have been fixed. > > How much of this complaining would be moot if you had contributed upstream? Seeing as my sound card only works right because Daniel here taught me how to fix it....yup, "if you want it done right, do it yourself" seems fitting. -- Mackenzie Morgan http://ubuntulinuxtipstricks.blogspot.com apt-get moo
