Today we find many music videos, lectures, films through Youtube , Vimeo , etc. and is very cool to go back to listen to songs from years ago that found them anywhere, that's good for me, that many songs the 80s not find them.

We can download the videos to play on our computers via a firefox add-on called Download Helper , but when we hear it for half an audio player complicate things.

sudo apt-get install ffmpeg

Well a few days ago came the version 8.10 of Ubuntu, so I went down and decided to try it on my machine.

So far I can say that truth is a very good version, I really like and I have seen changes that have been made are the best.

My machine has 3 partitions root, swap, home, thus it's easier to change distro and more safely have my files and preferences.

I did the respective format of the root, and after finishing it, I could see that this version starts much faster than 8.04.

That has worked for me (from what I've tried so far)

• Audio: no problem, even before working alone with the alsa mixer, but this time I decided to put everything to PulseAudio Sound Server and works great, really worth all the audio programs I work with no problems.
  Well I have it configured:
  Sound Events, Music and Movies, Audio Conferencing all with PulseAudio Sound Server option
  Defaul Mixer Tracks: HDA NVidia (Alsa Mixer)
• Video: the best, and has left an Nvidia driver version 177, which works without problems and now work for all purposes, in the previous version gave some problems but this has been corrected.

$ sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf

There that will scan port USB modem is mounted. In my case I get the following result: Read the rest »
