I'm doing an article on it later this week.<BR/><BR/>sudo apt-get install fusion-iconredDEADhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07778199165854076395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7876560611515310173.post-26326934728358754802008-04-29T00:42:00.000-05:002008-04-29T00:42:00.000-05:002008-04-29T00:42:00.000-05:00hey thanks,<BR/><BR/>even when i run that command i get pixelated video (even though compiz has been stopped).

If you want kill Compiz when your watching a video (metacity --replace). The ATI driver is better than ever but still has a way to go.redDEADhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07778199165854076395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7876560611515310173.post-89196310623010646112008-04-28T21:01:00.000-05:002008-04-28T21:01:00.000-05:002008-04-28T21:01:00.000-05:00Hey Reddead,<BR/><BR/>i'm a long time subscriber to your blog, and i wanna say thanks for doing such a great job with it. <BR/><BR/>One quick question.., i followed your codec guide, but the video quality on my xvids and dvds is poor, very pixelated. just wondering if this could be a codec issue (i'm pretty sure the ati restricted driver is installed correctly, compiz is working well). I'm out of ideas, I didn't have the same problem in Gutsy.<BR/><BR/>Either way, thanks again for the blog, very useful for Dell ubuntu users!Endahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12984154107403822022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7876560611515310173.post-72940777438407307122008-04-19T05:18:00.000-05:002008-04-19T05:18:00.000-05:002008-04-19T05:18:00.000-05:00Great guide. I am running Hardy Heron 64bit and had a error getting the w32codecs ("Package w32codecs is not available, but is referred to by another package."). <BR/>I got around this by running "sudo apt-get install non-free-codecs". This will install w32codecs for i386, w64codecs for amd64 and ppc-codecs for powerpc systems.Jasonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01129634426220244974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7876560611515310173.post-71207459961952549642008-04-09T14:43:00.000-05:002008-04-09T14:43:00.000-05:002008-04-09T14:43:00.000-05:00your wireless will not be easier to setup installing from wubi.redDEADhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07778199165854076395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7876560611515310173.post-7193336842307215222008-04-09T08:53:00.000-05:002008-04-09T08:53:00.000-05:002008-04-09T08:53:00.000-05:00mickbw:<BR/>Why should your wireless be easier to implement?<BR/><BR/>And why install with wubi, anyway?caligulahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10631251954231329434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7876560611515310173.post-91306877607882204082008-04-08T21:28:00.000-05:002008-04-08T21:28:00.000-05:002008-04-08T21:28:00.000-05:00I am planning to do the Wubi Install and was wondering if my wireless will be easier to implement than with the regular Ubuntu install.mickbwhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11243075788565396391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7876560611515310173.post-13733681459012674342008-04-08T03:55:00.000-05:002008-04-08T03:55:00.000-05:002008-04-08T03:55:00.000-05:00Hi Red!<BR/>How is it in US?
