More Ubuntu 8.04/Linux/WINE Joys

Not. *sigh*

After (immediately after) a recent “update” of WINE, the primary reason I have for using WINE at all–running Encore (a Windows music transcription program that utterly and completely blows away any and all native Linux offerings) in Linux–has disappeared. Yep. Encore refuses to even run at all after the update. Loads and dies, that’s it.

*sigh* As soon as I have a few mins to think on this and do some poking around, I may (may) be able to either discover what’s going on… or downgrade to an earlier, working, version of WINE. (Yeh, yeh: bug report at WINHQ–eventually)

Oh. Joy.

Not.


(OTOH, everything else is working fine, after a weekend of ALL sound simply disappearing in Ubuntu–well after the issue with WINE/Encore had cropped up. Finally decided to simply try the ole Windows standby of simply rebooting and sound’s back, which is nice given my new lil [upscale from the ones they now churn out for Dell, but not high end] Altec Lansing speakers. And yeh, I know Altec-Lansing isn’t what it was back in the 70s when some old–even then–A7s introduced me to the company.)

News, Schmews

I’ve continued my avoidance of Mass Media Podpeople Hivemind propaganda during The Obamassiah’s “I Wanna Be President of the World” tour, but I have taken time a couple of days to turn the sound on and CLICK through channels that carry Mass Media Podpeople Hivemin d propaganda. Funny how much more I saw The Obamassiah’s face than Juan MExicain’s face. And I don’t recall even once seeing Bob Barr’s face, as I flipped through the soundless propaganda channels (Not that Bob Barr’s face is that much more interesting than the other two politicians’ *spit* faces).

Just a micro-mini-data set.
