Beck, download this, then copy to /usr/lib/win32. That file has all the codecs.

For the audio, I had the same problem, but it had to do with the sound mixer. If the codecs don't work (or you already have them) try bringing up the mixer window (Multimedia->Volume Control->KAMix) and checking the volume levels.

I thought hockey started at 2...

Yeah I got MPlayer working now, I installed the skins to the wrong directory so I don't have a gui yet. I also have xine up and running with a gui.
Neither will play veronica mars, and theres no audio on ReGenesis though... I think I need to find codecs

okay, so Andy and Eric, here's the lowdown:
Tickets are $5, I'll get them today, and Douglas Coupland is reading at the Paramount (?) on Monday the 10th. I'll have the full details for you this afternoon sometime, but I thought I'd post at least that right now. and apparently you have to be soft spoken to work at Audrey's...

Tay should I read Robert Heinleins's Starship Trooper? I hear from the mecha enthusist that it is a must read book. It is supposedly the earliest story written with powered battle armour. Also I hear the military strategy and society is well developed and written about. The only negative I hear is that the weapons are vaugely described and are not put into much detail.

but that's half the fun.

Rufus is my favourite gay musician (at this moment at least) - and no, not because he's gay, because he sings beautifully, and he's just plain beautiful... but you have to remind yourself now and again that it's not even worth having a crush on someone if they're that happily gay (and sing about it so wonderfully in all their songs). And some of you might know him better as Rufus Wainwright. His mom's one of the McGarrigle Sisters (folk singing group) and his dad's Loudon Wainwright III (another folk singer). If you need more of an explanation than that, check out this link.

Sorry, Tay, it took me a while, but I put up the link, but it's there now.

Beck, if you want MPlayer, install the 'xfree86-devel' package from YaST and recompile the MPlayer source. It should work (it worked for me.) I had a similar problem to yours when I first installed it, but that package seemed to make the difference.

COTDQ:

Lindsay Lohans confidence and pretty outfits ease the audience by reminding them that her family will never come under financial straights (note the extreme fortune one would have to possess in order to carry on such an imense wardrobe) during the movie so you don't have to worry about a tedious commentary on class structure.


I love this review. It's a bit like reviewing a movie where people float on a whim and perpetual motion machines abound and saying "The levitation and free energy ease the audience by reminding them that life requires no effort at all during the movie so you don't have to worry about a tedious commentary on gravity and the laws of thermodynamics."

And, although I know the answer to the question, some may not. Who's Rufus?
