Greetings fellow Ubuntu Users,
I ran Intrepid Ibex for a bit, but found out it knocked out most of my audio applications. I used XBMC media player, but lost the ability to use it once I upgraded. Thus I reverted to NCMPC, a terminal-based media player. The fix was to downgrade to Hardy, just re-install. Even with a re-install I cannot get the following media programs to work (well I never could get those programs to work since I started using Ubuntu):
Rhythmbox: "The database was created by a later version of rhythmbox. This version of rhythmbox cannot read the database."
Noatun: "Connecting/starting aRts soundserver failed. Make sure that artsd is configured properly."
Amarok: Just won't work at all, says something about output device is busy or whatever. The thing keeps scrolling through my playlist with a red sign next to it, playing nothging.
Kaffeine: Same crap as above.
VLC: plays single files but freezes when importing directories.
Someone suggested the problem could be with my gstreamer--but i don't know.
My specs are I have a 2.6 Ghz Processor, two gigs of ram and a 620 gigs with about 400 gigs of freespace. I run Hardy Heron, Ubuntu.
Suggestions anyone? Otherwise I think Ubuntu is one of the best damn linux distros out there. I tried a whack othem--Ubuntu is tops, no matter how bitter I seem.
