Made a forum. This shit is totally not a good place for what we're trying to accomplish (I think).

Zune = Too much work to mess with on Linux.

Best way to get it working is to install VirtualBox and all it's innards. So, not going to be adding shit to my Zune while booted into Ubuntu any time soon. Apparently there's a way to get it working with Banshee, but I haven't really messed with listening to music from it since I can just plug my speakers into it.

Not sure if you even have a Zune or not. I'm sort of glad I do since it syncs so well with Windows and my 360.

Finally defeated.

I finally found a problem I can't beat. VLC runs in fucking Greek. There is no menu option to change the language in the options. I looked comparing the English version to the Linux version. It's not there.

Running vlc --language=en doesn't work. Somebody said to delete the language folders from %appdata%. Couldn't find any settings similar. I give up. Let me know if you can figure it.

**Edit** If this happens to you, where menus look like they are in Greek, it's in the Appearance: Fonts top. Make sure Symbols isn't set on any of them as the font. Turns out some weirdo knew what it was. I couldn't find a solution by searching for language problems because it wasn't one. It was a font problem. Now to uninstall all of the bullshit I installed to try to fix it with.

Anti-Virus

If you need an Anti-Virus program, you can use AntiVir (I use it on Windows and love it.)

Here's how to install it on Ubuntu.

PS: Instead of wget'ing the  Dazuko driver they tell you do, get this one (latest): http://www.dazuko.org/files/dazuko-source_2.3.3-1_all.deb

Fonts

I don't know if you've seen this or not, but you can fix the eye killer fonts in Firefox (and probably all over). More here: http://ubuntusite.com/fix-get-best-firefox-font-linux/

Rythmbox

.. I have it set up to look and function almost exactly like I had foobar:


Plus it has built in Last.fm shit, so that's win in my book. Also, the Shiki-Brave theme feels so close to Xfce it's > *.

Flash crashing.

You'll have it happen sooner or later. It keeps happening to me off and on. Most if you watch a shit load of flash videos in a row. If flash shit refuses to load, open the terminal and 'killall plugin-container' then reload the window. It should fix it.

ALSO: Tons of wallpapers for Ubuntu.

So like.

This has colors and some gay shit about tagging on it. Also I have to make that side bar wider.
