    when opening a mp3, audio file... sometimes my pc crack, stop responding

    Why my computer stop completely responding to commands sometimes when I click on a mp3 etc. file. Dont know why, though.

    Anyone knows what it's all about? Will it be corrected after .10 release?

    Tnx.

    You might not have all the codecs installed. Take a look at this thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=766683

    Have you followed the instructions for installing the proper codecs? Check here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=766683
    Also, you might try using a different media player. VLC and MPlayer are my favorites.

    Run the following in a terminal (Applications>Accessories>Terminal):
    Code:
    sudo apt-get install vlc

    I am installing VLC and my terminal stopped here:


    Processing triggers for libc6 ...
    ldconfig deferred processing now taking place
    isaque@isaque-laptop:~$


    what do I do now?


    I think it's done, in fact!
