Hi, i have decided to try and give ubuntu a bash on my laptop. So please bare with me as i'm a complete noob!
My NAS uses firefly to stream media across our home network. I can use iTunes to pick this up on windows pcs. For ubuntu i found that i would need songbird. So i managed to download and install version 1.4 of songbord to find that i needed the newer beta 1.8 version. I installed the 1.8 following these instructions:
wget http://download.songbirdnest.com/installer/linux/i686/Songbird_1.8.0b3-1747_linux-i686.tar.gz
tar -xvf Songbird_1.8.0b3-1747_linux-i686.tar.gz
cd Songbird/
rm lib/libgst*.so
./songbird
However i now have to open up console and type in:
cd Songbird/
./songbird
everytime i want to open it.
If i try and load it via the start menu it loads the old version. Is there anything i can do to remove the old one and put the new one in the menu?
It also seems quite slow (lagging mouse) when Songbird is running.
Thanks
