Just thought I'd mention last night I installed 12.10 Quantal
pre-alpha from the testing site on my spare HDD. Works just

Yeh right, you think that is rude, I kept my tongue, it
could have been much worse, much worse.
I think that's probably enough, Mr Matthews. The people on this list have
demonstrated superhuman patience and understanding when dealing with you, and
have received nothing but abuse in return.
See you there tomorrow, folks!

Has anybody come across this? Why should I need destop
effects enabled to play wmv?
It's unlikely that you need desktop effects to play video, but very likely that
you need direct rendering to get either.
I have an intel 945 video card with medibuntu video codec.

189 MPs voted Yes (Aye), 47 voted No (Noe).
The majority of whom weren't present at the debate. You might very well think

Tony Arnold,
See my previous post. I don't think the $ indicates anything
about root privileges. The user can define their own prompt
and put whatever he/she likes in there!

I'll be testing the server edition in a few VM's in due
course for fairly innocuous stuff (Nagios, etc) but will
