hi all,

until yesterday i was happily running kubuntu feisty and freevo 1.7.3

i decided i'd upgrade to hardy (via upgrading to gutsy) and that all seemed to work. however, i then find out that my freevo installation was broken.

i've tried reinstalling freevo, and have given elisa and xbmc a go as well. i haven't been able to get any of them to work properly, and am struggling to find any decent installation guides for any of them at all.

all i'm after is a pretty basic media centre application, which will allow me to play my avi files.

as an aside, there is a bug in alsa for my on board sound, so i'm using oss instead. does this limit my choice of media centre at all?

thanks,
jon
