I've been using Banshee, but it's been slowing as my library grows. One question: if I'm on the All Files smart playlist, and I sort by album, is there any way to have it sort each individual album by the track number in the id3 tag? Right now it's going alphabetically by file name, which is a problem since the filenames don't include the track number.

Go through the pages until you find the sorting algorithm one. Sorting is the only issue I have with Clementine because it can be obtuse. I have my library named so that they should be sorted by directory (e.g. in Windows: C:/Users/Mak0rz/Music/Artist/year Album/track# Title), so there's always a hierarchy that goes: Artist > Albums in chronological order > tracks in sequential order. It was a pain to figure out how to get Clementine to sort things this way. In case you're wondering there's also a "File Name (with directory)" column heading instead of just straight-up file name.

Clementine looks great, I really like the fact that under Radio it has all the DI.fm streams. Only problem is it is telling me it can't decode the stream, anyone else having this issue. If I import my saved di.fm .pls stream it will play them just fine.

I just installed Xubuntu 12.04 on a Thinkpad T430, which has UEFI instead of BIOS, so I did a UEFI install. It runs fine; however, no Plymouth/GRUB entries/kernel messages are shown on boot, just one line: "error: no suitable mode found.". I tried the supposed fix here, but there was no change. (Actually, I edited /etc/grub.d/40_custom instead of /boot/grub/grub.cfg since to my understanding, grub.cfg is overwritten whenever update-grub runs.) Does anyone know how to fix this?

I'm about to redo my server with Ubuntu. Will all my data drives being NTFS be okay until I make a new array with new drives? I currently have two RAID-5 arrays and don't have space to back them up to redo it. This is for home use. Use it to stream and store data for other computers (normally one or two using it at once. Never more than one HD stream at a time). Ubuntu will have its own drive with whichever file system it defaults to. And finally, what's the best RDP analogue to control this box with my windows 7 devices? Triikan fucked around with this message at 10:40 on Jun 24, 2012 |

I didn't have any trouble reading/writing to NTFS volumes from Ubuntu. It may have been a bit slower than from an ext* formatted volume but it's been a while so i don't remember exactly.

Let me start by saying that I have an ASUS Eee PC 1015px with Intel Atom CPU N570. I'm looking for any input regarding ubuntu distro's for the Eee PC. I tried Puppy (loved it) was having issues with getting it to boot from the HD instead of the USB. So I was looking at Ubuntu 12.04 and saw that in 11.04 they merged the UNE with the desktop version, so I installed 12.04 on my netbook but now its really laggy and slow. I found this Linux distro list and saw that Eeebuntu has turned into Aurora OS. I can't seem to find and iso's or torrents for Eeebuntu 3.0 nbr or EB 4.0 Beta. All the mirrors or links take you to the https://auroraos.org website and the links there seem to be broken. Does anyone else have an Eee PC and what distro are you using? Or does anyone have any previous experience with a distro that would be great on an Atom CPU.

Yeah, I guess I was hoping that there something more advanced than that. RDP has a bunch of great functions that VNC doesn't quite do. Thanks though.

I currently have two RAID-5 arrays and don't have space to back them up to redo it. I think you'll be fine. The NTFS fuse plugin is pretty mature, and for a fuse plugin, it's pretty fast (certainly fast enough for a media server).

Well, btrfs saved my rear end yesterday. I'm running Kubuntu Quantal -- I reinstalled on my Lenovo X61 when the KDE 4.9 beta was part of the daily builds. I've been aptitude full-upgrade'ing regularly, and it looks like some recent updates broke Xorg (most likely the Intel and/or Vesa drivers; these were showing up with (EE) lines in Xorg.0.log). Newer daily live images have the same behavior on my system, and this might be related to the lack of a current i686/x86_64 image at http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/daily-live/current/. Luckily, I took a snapshot of my root filesystem a few days ago; all I had to do was
At the moment I'm forcing the Xorg drivers to stay at their current version and attempting to install the other updates. Hopefully I'll have a working system after that, but if not it'll only take a few minutes to revert  EDIT: I have a usable system after keeping the old version of the Xorg drivers and upgrading everything else. It wouldn't be a development release if this kind of stuff didn't happen, and btrfs snapshots are tremendously useful as a safety net.

Downgrading packages with apt was a pain when I last tried to do it, and I also wasn't sure which package broke my system. It would have been a lot more work to look at /var/log/apt/history.log and downgrade each individual package until I get a working system. Reverting my entire root FS was very fast and easy.

Ubuntu Server 10.04 question: How difficult is it to get DHCPv6 working (without mucking up a perfectly-fine IPv4 server)? The dhcp3-server daemon doesn't seem to be able to support IPv6. I have big bucket of static IPv6 addresses for my systems, plus IPv6 DNS working. For end-users, I tried running as an "IPv6-only" system - their IPv6 address autoconfigures without DHCP, but I have to manually enter in DNS and domain search order since there is no IPv6 DHCP server giving out that info.
