Skype Needed for AMD64 Ubuntu Linux.


Hi there. Long time user of skype on Linux ( Ubuntu ) and Windows XP. I just moved over to AMD64 Ubuntu and found out you don't have a copy of skype.

I also use skype on my PSP. But had a hard time finded a PSP Skype headset. believe you should carry them too.

I don't like your website layout, it's hard to find things and interact with some of the link are broken. It told over a 1/2 hour just to setup my account. I believe your website needs a overhaul. Plase plan it out next time. Don't just write page after page and try to link afterwards.

Skype is available for AMD64 Ubuntu - but you need to enable the mediabuntu repositories.

To do this, open up a command prompt and type:

echo "deb http://packages.medibuntu.org/ hardy free non-free" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list

then:

wget -q http://packages.medibuntu.org/medibuntu-key.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add - && sudo apt-get update

then:

sudo apt-get install skype

Good luck!

Hey,

I want to thank Arunas Radzvilavicius for developing the xmmood tool. He inspired me to make a bash script which will tell you the current song. The code that Radzvilavicius wrote only inputs "Listening to:" in the profile. You just need to make a new file with this code inside:
CODE
#!/bin/sh
/path/to/xmmood.py "`audtool --playlist-position`. `audtool --current-song` (Lenght:`audtool --current-song-length`, Volume: `audtool audtool --get-volume`%)"




Save it as test.sh (or whatever you want)

After that do chmod 600.
Finally just go to Audacious's preferences->Plugins and enable "Song Change".
This will add on the left side a new tab named "Song Change", click it.
Add this to "Command to run when Audacious starts a new song":
/path/to/the/file/test.sh

I added this line everywhere that said "Command to run" ...
Anyway you're ready to go now. Play a song and you'll see the effect smile.png


I haven't changed nothing in the actual code of Radzvilavicius! I've just made it easier for people to handle his program smile.png



NOTE !!!
You need to have "audtool" installed in order this script to work... Usually if you have Slackware and Audacious it should be there.

Hello, hoping you can help me!

I set up a public chat on my website and I then clicked on the "join" button to see how it works and when I was done, I think I may have "ended forever" instead of just "leaving".

Now when I "join" it just says "All other participants have left the chat."

and I am not able to do anything. HELP! I want to get it up and running ASAP and am in the process of adding contacts, etc.

How do I start another public chat. I've gone through making another one with new HTML, etc. but doesn't seem to be working.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

how about with openSUSE 11.0 do you find any trouble installing it to the OS? coz I'll be downloading it by tomorrow.
