If you are meaning launchpad it is a hosting service for open source projects. This is where you can report bugs get answers for problems and get involved in different projects. You can read more here (https://launchpad.net/+tour/index)
You can download entertainer from here (https://launchpad.net/entertainer/+download) (launchpad)
But if you were actually wanting info on lunchpad then see here (http://www.lunchpad.com/) :wink:

ok, so how do i install it in ubuntu. all i get is the option to open it in archive manger.

[Partyboi2]

Open a terminal (Applications>accessories>Terminal)
and install the needed packages.

sudo apt-get install python-gobject python-gtk2 python-gst0.10 python-clutter python-pysqlite2 python-cddb python-glade2 python-cairo python-feedparser python-pyinotify python-eyed3 python-pyvorbis python-imaging python-imdbpy python-notify
Then change directory to where the downloaded entertainer-0.1.tar.gz file is, so if its on your Desktop type

cd ~/Desktop
then extract it with

tar xvzf entertainer-0.1.tar.gz then change into the newly created directory

cd entertainer-0.1/src
then set the contents

./entertainer-content-management.py
then

./entertainer-backend.py
finally

./entertainer-frontend.py

[Layman's terms]

tacticalsphinx,

Entertainer is still a pretty young project in the scheme of media center applications. You can now install it from a package, but launching the content manager and preferences still requires a terminal command for now.

http://wiki.entertainer-project.com/wiki/StartUpGuide is a good place to start for installation instructions.

You can also ask any question directly to the developers on Launchpad (https://launchpad.net/entertainer) or on the IRC channel (more info that can be found on the wiki).
