I didn't ask you to nor do I care if you do, whatever. Just pointed out that Nautilus has no way to hide extensions. No one ever filed a Feature Request either.

bhai log suggest some good audio player which can play mp3s also why cant ubuntu play mp3s out of the box

 

[praka123]

mp3 means license charges to Francoffer Inst.so most distros dont bundle prop. plugins.u can install ubuntu-restricted to have mp3 play.
good mp3 player is exaile.also rhythmbox,amarok(kde),banshee,beep media player or audcious(winamp lookalike for converts).install w32codecs for wma,wmv play.search synaptic for details.also update synaptic db.

@iMav:get amarok its awesome.Though it is kde based but it works on gnome as well.

 

[QwertyManiac]

Get this player called Listen [Screenshot] or get Banshee [Screenshot].

Note: Click on the Player names to get them installed without hassles.

Also do click this: Ubuntu Codecs + Multimedia before you install any of the other players.

 

[praka123]

exaile is amarok on Gnome.amarok will drag in Gnome as it is for kde.amarok also installs hell lotta kde dependencies to have it installed!.

thanx a lot for the link

where are these files downloaded so that i can copy them for backup

 

[The_Devil_Himself]

/var/cache/apt

Am I right guys?

 

[QwertyManiac]

Yes /var/cache/apt/archives.

Use APTonCD for backup purposes, its much easier.

+1 for exaile

 

[The_Devil_Himself]

hey Qwerty when I click your APTonCD link it says "can not find 'aptoncd'" whats wrong?

 

[QwertyManiac]

No idea. Are your repository lists fine? Works for me.

 

[The_Devil_Himself]

now its working after selecting and refreshing lists in synaptic.Thanks.

downloaded and installed aptoncd(just 138kb).

I was checking Linux mint today, it looks better then Ubuntu. What should I download for a VM install on physical HD? I mean, why is ubuntu better then Linux Mint?

 

[SunnyChahal]

^^ yeah,linuxmint daryna is great.
it is just a modified version of GG with improved look,bugs fixed and some programs and features added.
it is better than GG.

Total Guide for gutsy... follow it one can pretty much(infact much more) do everything.

 

[praka123]

linux mint leeches from ubuntu community and makes a buggy multimedia enabled distro.the ppl behind mint doesnot fear sueing i suppose for carrying plugins proprietory ones as in Freespire does too.

yeah distro looks cool but lacks community support.

Ubuntu has the largest community support.
