you do have the MP3 codecs installed right ?
By default, MP3 codecs are not installed out of the box on Ubuntu due to licensing of the MP3 codecs.
hmm.. now that you mentioned it. there doesnt seem to be an EQ for amarok..

Hey bro u r right in one hand Ubuntu is not the best for us

nope its lyk a Benz and a Toyota . depend on the usersm ppl need benz and totoya is enough for sm ppl. choice is yours

to me ubuntu 9.04 is lyk a OLD Wolkswagon. full of bugs and poor HW support (DAt Jakalope couldn't handle my CDMA) . but sm ppl lyk it

Fedora is so powerful. on stream Sinhala sup (On Stream Sinhala Desktop). highly stable and less bugs.we can DO every thing we want to Do.

IF you want a 'baba' Act, stay with ubuntu. if you wanna get a REAL LINUX experience, then you have to get another way. (not only fedora, debian, slackware, gentoo etc can gv the REAL Linux EXP)

Chiose it yours.

one last thing, ubuntu is NOT LINUX.. sm ppl just use ubuntu and blame linux. Fools

But neither the Fedora i have used it. Not so cool as u say.(sorry personal idea)

But Mint is better for people with no internet connection as they have all codecs in one CD.

I wanna try slackware still downloading it. will atleast get few days to complete and wont b able to try til august.(2nd semister exams !!!!!)

 

[lolipro]

MM il give my experience with ubuntu

How about the driver's support to Ubunuto.. ??? Bcoz.. fear to install that.. is it detect printers , ADSL modems.. kind a Old version likes window xp..

Detected my epson printer with lot of facilities than the original driver.
didnt detected my ADSL modem (h901 prolink though it have linux drivers in CD)

As i know modems are detectable when installed the software known as Ubudsl (ddnt workd for me)

vodafone e220 (3g modem) is plug and play without additional software

 

[lolipro]

MMM try out Ubudsl it work for ZTE

ZTE modems detect kerennedda? ,,, UBunutu CD thiyanawa.. install kerama Net eka ganna beriwey da manda?

(as i heard)

 

[lolipro]

MMMM bro I have just a simple ADSL connection at home

yes may be. every OS have bugs @ their first shot. (fedora's anaconda hd critical bugs, dats y they postpone the release

woooooooooof.. you got a HUGE list. (hey can i hv sm?, i can't DL couz i'm using a Dialup)

hey where r u? USCS? MORa?

Im in Kelaniya Uni. Cant download from uni but can from home.

Tell me something needed (most like to help)
still downloading slackware latest (will complete in few days)

 

[lolipro]
