I downloaded gwget, so far it seems to work fine with firefox & flashgot.

I downloaded that deb package for firefox but when i try to install it, it says "A later version is already installed":confused:

Actually, I don't find any problems with fonts on my system (I've posted screenshots in the other thread). Of corz I've tweaked them (as Manan did). But I fail to see why are you guys facing the problem.

I m only getting problem in Firefox 2.0.0.10, the one I installed via Ubuntuzilla. REvarted back to 2.0.0.6

Installed Pidgin 2.3 using the packages available at getdeb.net. Works fine.

SO far only Pidgin & my desktop is configure properly, How to get latest firefox?

Enough of configuring for today, I need to do timepass now so back to Windows.

So far, Pidgin, & Firefox are properly configured. Except for the latest version of firefox.

Next up will be a music player. I don't like amarok & have installed Exaile & Rythembox. Will talk about those later.

Hey, which icons are those in Ubuntu by default? Tango?

create a ".icons" folder in home directory
(it may be already created)

Just press CTRL + H in home directory to see hidden .icons folder.

Extract any icon theme or cursor theme to this directory .

I will pass that, configuring icons is a lengthy task it seems. I m leaving the UI part for later.

OK,...so next apps is a Music player. Exaile hangs when playing some files from the NTFS partition, while rythembox didn't even import all the wma's.

what codec packs I should Install? All my videos play fine

ffmpeg will be enuf to play wma and wav.

No idea abt Rhythmbox not importing WMA, my collection is only mp3 and ogg

Install the tango-icon-theme and tango-icon-theme-extras packages (via Synaptic, or apt-get) and choose the icon theme via the Appearance applet (System > Pref. > Appear.)

P.s. for playing Windows exclusive crap, install w32codecs or w64codecs as per your current architecture. You might need to setup medibuntu repositories for that.

I just installed FFMpeg. All the TV rips play fine.

I removed exaile & rhythmbox & back to amarock. It's not the best UI but atleast it plays all my music files. I just start it, play music & minimize to system tray.

Music player configured. Video player is totem, also configured.

Next up is my phone. I need a phone manager by which I can read SMS, Phonebook of my K750i over bluetooth or datacable. Send SMS, transfer files etc
