Don't worry, this happens sometimes. :) - axel Fri, 18 Dec 2009 19:29:19 +0100 http://www.my-guides.net/en/content/view/172/26/#comment-1179 I don't believe I got an error message yesterday and when I tried reinstalling it today this is what I got : moe@moe-desktop:~$ sudo apt-get install googleearth-package [sudo] password for moe: Reading package lists...

Where did it disappear to? What should I try next? - moe Thu, 17 Dec 2009 04:50:22 +0100 http://www.my-guides.net/en/content/view/172/26/#comment-1158 Lots of us distro-junkies do most of this on a new install. It sounds like someone should whip up an Ubuntu-based distro that includes all of the above. Maybe a Mint community edition... - hooya27 Wed, 09 Dec 2009 02:52:06 +0100 http://www.my-guides.net/en/content/view/172/26/#comment-1128 well done thanks - harpomason Sun, 29 Nov 2009 02:47:29 +0100 http://www.my-guides.net/en/content/view/172/26/#comment-1098 You are welcome mrkim. :D - axel Tue, 24 Nov 2009 22:40:39 +0100 http://www.my-guides.net/en/content/view/172/26/#comment-1093 A buddy of mine sent me a link and I hafta say it's a great way to quickly and easily load up a lot of very functional add-ons. Thanks a ton for taking the time to hammer this all out! - mrkim Tue, 24 Nov 2009 05:34:12 +0100 http://www.my-guides.net/en/content/view/172/26/#comment-1089 casper, there is no drawback if you install libdvdcss (or any other packages) from medibuntu repository. Feel free to do so if you need any of them. :) - axel Sun, 22 Nov 2009 15:28:30 +0100 http://www.my-guides.net/en/content/view/172/26/#comment-1077 Hi MarkG, By default Fedora 12 won't play for sure this kind of disks. Using the codecs from RPMFusion repository you might play unencrypted Blue-ray disks. I don't have a Blue-ray drive but in Linux there is a problem in Blue-ray playback because of the AACS and BD+ protections. The whole process is not different between Fedora and Ubuntu. - axel Wed, 18 Nov 2009 19:24:04 +0100 http://www.my-guides.net/en/content/view/172/26/#comment-1076 Is Fedora 12 suppose to be able to play Blue-ray movies and if so how do you set that up? - MarkG Wed, 18 Nov 2009 19:05:51 +0100 http://www.my-guides.net/en/content/view/172/26/#comment-1074 Nice guide, I'll bookmark this page You don't add medibuntu repositories, will you give an explanation why and what is the drawback if any? - casper Mon, 16 Nov 2009 07:13:21 +0100 http://www.my-guides.net/en/content/view/172/26/#comment-1065 You are welcome lynx! In the weekend I will add instructions about ntfs read/write support. I totally forgot it! Thanks. :) - axel Tue, 10 Nov 2009 19:42:46 +0100 http://www.my-guides.net/en/content/view/172/26/#comment-1064 Great guide axel! Thank you so much! I would suggest you to add a paragraph about "how to auto-mount ntfs hard disks", which is something very useful especially to new users. what do you think? - lynx Tue, 10 Nov 2009 01:21:05 +0100 http://www.my-guides.net/en/content/view/172/26/#comment-1061 Thanks a lot - good guide - most helpful - Flumen Sat, 07 Nov 2009 15:08:24 +0100 http://www.my-guides.net/en/content/view/172/26/#comment-1055 Thanks Pipps! :D Instruction on how to install skype on Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala was updated. Additionally pidgin (the previous default IM of Ubuntu) was added to the guide. - axel Sat, 07 Nov 2009 09:58:47 +0100 http://www.my-guides.net/en/content/view/172/26/#comment-1053 Thank you so much! :) - Pipps Fri, 06 Nov 2009 01:44:25 +0100 http://www.my-guides.net/en/content/view/172/26/#comment-1045 Skype may not work out of box in some cases and "sudo apt-get -f install" after "sudo apt-get install skype" may be required ;D - Peter Tue, 03 Nov 2009 13:34:18 +0100 http://www.my-guides.net/en/content/view/172/26/#comment-1042 Thank you for your comments! You are very welcome. :) Langleyo I will check the skype part. - axel Mon, 02 Nov 2009 19:09:34 +0100 http://www.my-guides.net/en/content/view/172/26/#comment-1039 I laughed when I read this because it is exactly what I end up doing on all fresh Linux installs. This is probably the best most concise place I have found regarding post installation tweaks (for lack of a better term). Everyone new to Linux or even long time users (I often forget to install things until I need em) should check this out after a fresh install. Thanks for taking the time to put it together! - Matt Mon, 02 Nov 2009 03:36:15 +0100
