Hey guys my ATI Radeon HD 3450 is and AMD card and not Intel. Does this make a difference because the kernel version of my Karmic is 2.6.28 and not .31.
Also, I just booted to Crunchbang to watch the BBC iPlayer coz Crunchbang has the codecs all sussed. I have to do nothing but, enjoy the videos. In Karmic I can't even find AdobeAIRInstaller.bin to allow getlibs to install it and Adobe engine picks up my 32 bit version of Karmic as 64 bit too.
So there is a ways to go. I know that the codecs are not installed by default in Ubuntu but, in this day and age when a lot of peoples' web browsing experience is depending upon codecs for this player and that - surely it is time for the Ubuntu team to install them by default like Crunchbang. Although, I will continue to use Ubuntu to see what progress is being made across the board (with the hope that one day it will outstrip Windows for all linux users without comment) - simple versions of Linux like Crunchbang are the perfect way for me to work from day-to-day. There, that's my tuppence worth as the English say...
