Karmic to Banshee oh and SID
Time to put on my freedom hating hat. Yesterday I decided to jump on Karmic Koala at work. I did my usual style of upgrade by changing my sources.list to point to karmic instead of juanty. The upgrade went off with little hitch but the fun started when I rebooted.
My workstation at work uses dual monitors and I have an nvidia card in there. So I wanted the nvidia drivers. But, I could not get those unless I jump through a ton of hoops. Or so that was the case from reading some posts on forums and such. Aparently the nvidia drivers are not ready for Ubuntu due to karmic being a moving target until closer to release. Needless to say I did not have time to mess around so I re-installed Jaunty. Things seemed fine until this morning.
I set about my work day only to find out I was getting no audio in Amarok. Why was this? I don’t know. I chalked it up to pulse and not wanting to muck around too much I figured hey, why not see what everyone is saying about Banshee. Well I installed that fired it up and lo and behold still no audio. Try as I might it just was not happening. So, at wits end and wanting to get down to some real work I tried a quick reboot. Audio was back and I still decided to give Banshee a try.
