Or you can install programs like Acidrip, DeVeDe or K9 which use mencoder with GUI.

Your compilation guide is still relevant in every sense. PPAs however convenient may not be for all. This ppa is daily build and that means a new mplayer every now and then, in my case, I update...

Really good, thank you again Andrew.

As I mentioned before almost any and every DVD conversion program in Linux depends on mencoder, be it K9 in KDE or Acidrip in Gnome or more so I got no choice here. Your guide with just the minor...

I always compile with mencoder so it never ever fails here, I do compile x264 and ffmpeg first.

Safest webcam would be Logitech, they are uvc so work witout any hitch.

Why not use sevenmachines ppa for x64 flash?

Have you given skype an inbound port?

If you do the blacklist, nomodeset is not really needed.

Looks like you didn't do the blacklisting correct or remove nouveau driver, also did you install build-essential, new or first time users should try Ubuntu x-swat ppa which has latest drivers and...

Absolutely correct, many banks, interactive sites all depend on Sun Java, Azureus runs better on Sun Java, so does Jdownloader etc. For now Open JDK is not the way to go.

No need for nomodeset, blacklisting is very important, so is removing all nvidia related files and nouveau.

Brasero worked fine when I was on Gnome Ubuntu, K3B is brilliant in KDE here now.

Did you install smplayer and mplayer from the ppa?

The x64 version of latest Adobe Flash under Linux runs brilliantly, on nvidia cards it uses the GPU and full screen videos hardly takes CPU %age like before.

You are most welcome.:)

Open up terminal, copy paste


sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

This will add Ubutu X ppa and keep your nvidia driver to latest...

For pic upload, Sun Java is needed, install it by enabling partner repo in synaptic.

Is libdvdcss installed?

I did, you are wrongly interpreting the meaning, anyways moot point here, ppa for sevenseas is fine and I am sure Adobe won't have any issues with it. PPA method is not only convenient for those who...

No one is derailing anything here, the very mention of the ppa bought up this topic, EULA and patents are inter related period, now don't go derailing that please :)

Not really, MS owns various patents ranging from JPEG, sudo and more, its just that they don't have the interest to enforce it now as desktop linux is not yet a threat to their livelihood, wait till...

If EULA were to be followed, all Linux users are violating M$ patents one way or another,even when you type SUDO :)

tock, the reason is the type of codec used, in your case, it would be better to compile the multi threaded version of mplayer.

Not only does this version run better and smoother in full screen or regular, it also uses way less CPU than x32 via nsplugin.
