    here's the deal, I don't upgrade, it doesn't crash but...

    Ok, I have been down this path too often now to think otherwise, I would like to keep my system as 6.06 but have mp3s playing with amarok, each time I downlodd a adapt program after changing my source list, that is after upgrading to 6.10, the system then plonks and I cannot get back into it, no problem because I am not going to upgrade this time(happy with drapper) but I would still like to hear mp3s with amarok, help please.


    btw when does one think that one is not a newbie with linux?

      Did you try installing libxine-extracodecs and lame? xine uses mp3 audio very nicely. Amarok uses xine engine for playback.

      Hope this helps.

        Re: here's the deal, I don't upgrade, it doesn't crash but...

        I recently installed fluxbuntu on one of my machines. Since it is based on dapper, I was interested in upgrading to edgy (still deciding if I want to upgrade to fiesty). I found this review of fluxbuntu, which detailed the procedure of upgrading from dapper to fiesty

        http://techbycolin.com/?p=83

        Since it worked for me, I'll outline the steps:

        1. Do "sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list" and replace all instances of "dapper" with "edgy"
        2. Do "apt-get update"
        3. Do "apt-get dist-upgrade"

          thanks, I am happy with dapper so I will stick with it, there is probably something wrong with the way I change the source list because it installs perfectly, in that it is only after I use adapt that it won't start up again. Please tell me how to download bxine-extracodecs and lame but I do not want to upgrade to edgy if feisty is going to become standard before long, I really like things simple, thanks

                Re: here's the deal, I don't upgrade, it doesn't crash but...

                Use the second version. Also, after each entry where it says "universe" add "multiverse". Then save it and do

                Code:
                sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libxine-extracodecs
                Also, I can't remember where but I'm pretty sure it was one of the wikis, "universe multiverse" was added to the end of every repository option.

                john

                P.S. If you want to upgrade to feisty instead of doing a fresh install, you will first have to upgrade to edgy.
