Re: [LUG] guidance please; also BBC TV news Jan 30

 

Thanks to everyone who replied about my video problem on Ubuntu.

It seemed we (my wife and I) were lacking the packages kaffeine-xine and
w32codecs.  Both now installed, and we are watching the videos we want to
in kaffeine.  The message "no URI handler implemented for rtsp://..."
appeared because we were trying to use gstreamer as backend; switching to
xine solved our problem.  I am still thinking whether, or how, the message
itself could be made plainer for the benefit of the comparatively
inexperienced.

On another topic entirely, did list-members see the item on BBC news last
night in which some schoolchildren were invited to compare Vista with a
Mac --- and no third possibility was even mentioned ?
