It's extremely fast, compared to the last version. And all the restricted-extras work without problems, and I no longer have to allow root login, it works out of the box. I love it !
Note for NVIDIA and ATI users:
"envyng-gtk/qt" in Lucid Lynx is superseded by jockey.
Another bug: Trying to compile soundkonverter via apt-get buid-dep and apt-get source doesn't work, because the two .h files below miss #include <stdio.h> . Add #include <stdio.h> to both these files: /usr/src/soundkonverter-0.3.11/src/metadata/audible/audibleproperties.h /usr/src/soundkonverter-0.3.11/src/metadata/wav/wavproperties.h
Though VLC still does not work out of the box when run as root. You need to recompile it and remove uid == 0 from VLC.c. I just compiled vlc with this code commented out from source in bin/vlc.c file:
Remove the bellow code snippet
/*
// Remove from bin/vlc.c
if (geteuid () == 0)
{
fprintf (stderr, "VLC is not supposed to be run as root. Sorry.\n"
"If you need to use real-time priorities and/or privileged TCP ports\n"
"you can use %s-wrapper (make sure it is Set-UID root first and\n"
"cannot be run by non-trusted users first).\n", ppsz_argv[0]);
return 1;
}
*/
and it works !
And another bug: apt-get install dpkg-dev
should be installed by default, because else it stops when doing apt-get source xy
