hmmm... Nitish, I remember you telling me that you would never go back to Windows. And now I just read that you ar setting up ubuntu with Windows XP!. Why the U turn man?.

Anyways, for CD writing use K3B, a very good & easy to use tool. Very similar to Nero. Great for people who just want to work & not waste figuring things out all the time.


And regarding sound, I too have a problem with that. The sound quality is nowhere as good as in windows. I don't know whats the problem. I get a hiss all the time.

By the way how did you install xine?. Best way, do it through synaptic.

OK, best of luck anyways.

The trick to installing software in Linux is to use synaptic (or any equivalent tool) as much as you can. Try to avoid downloading binaries & installing yourself as much as you can. K3B is available for download in synaptic. Just install it. Same for Xine & Mplayer.


Man, in my experience, net is very important if you want to use Linux & are not an expert. Without net, i wouldn't be able to anything at all with my Linux installation. First try to get net working. Everything else can be dealt with later.


@sound
r u sure ur sound card has been detected & is working. i mean is this sound problem only in xine?. If not check your volume. I think its on the top right corner on your dektop. As far as I know, it is set to minimum by default in Ubuntu.

cdrecord is a command line cd writing tool. You can try installing GNOME baker if you want GUI.
If you want you can try learning how to burn cd's from command line. It's not so difficult.

For Xine's problem, have you installed win32codecs?

Were you referring to me?. If you were, I don't know what you were talking about. I am not having any fight with anyone.

And regarding codecs, go to *www.mplayerhq.hu/design7/dload.html & download the essential codecs pack.

Nitish don't try to install K3B. Cos it is a KDE application. It will require kdelibs AFAICR. Go for GNOME Baker for CD Writing and as far as videos are concerned it is lack of codecs. You can download the codecs from the link that borg gave you and install in /usr/lib/win32.

Which version of GCC did you isntall? 3.4 or 3.3? If you installed 3.3 then change it to 3.3 in the given command.

gcc isn't detected maybe cc isn't linked to gcc
try linking it,
Code: 
ln -s /usr/bin/gcc /usr/bin/cc

or post the output of ls -l /usr/bin/cc*
that wud help identify whether gcc is installed or maybe your PATH is incorrectly setup, post the output of
echo $PATH
