After viewing the many posts about Ubuntu by Alias, it should be apparently
clear that any constructive discussion with him is an exercise in
frustration. He's like Chicken Little, Al Gore, Jesse Jackson, et al. They
have their minds frozen in their own world view, and anyone who dissents are
unworthy.

His mind is stuck on Ubuntu. Better to just ignore him and he will
eventually go away.

Don't feed the trolls!

They were very minor problems on how to do something. Once I learned how
to do it, the problems were gone. The problem wasn't with Ubuntu but my
lack of knowledge. I haven't had problem one for over two years now.

What Lu Powell wrote is 100% true. You have blinders on and your head
shoved firmly up your ass. You ignore the issues constantly and say that
anyone who differs in opinion with you is "ill informed".

You stick to that INFERIOR Ubuntu that nobody wants or needs and the rest of
us will use Windows products to get our work done. You just can't stand
the fact that your "precious" Ubuntu is free and has been free for years
yet still can't get much market share at all. That should tell you all you
need to know about Ubuntu. Nobody takes Ubuntu seriously. Ubuntu will
always be a toy used by geeks.

Get over it. Start drinking and smoking MORE Hash.

Do what?
Hate to burst your little Linux infatuation bubble, but many of us have,
and still do use it.
Open Arena sucks.
Most games on Linux *suck*.
I can't even play silly Pogo games in Linux without the sound going
haywire.
Jeez... you just have lower expectations.
The perfect ubuntard.

There you go. Your "lack of knowledge". You hit the nail on the head. Is
that what keeps you from helping those sorry sacks in the Ubuntu forums?
You need to hang around the Vista and Windows 7 forums because you can't do
anything "Ubuntu"? I thought so.

Better find something more productive to do with your time like counting
that imaginary $14k a week you claim to get! HA HA HA.

Just imagine, if I had $14k a week, this would be the last place I would
hang out. I would be in Hawaii, Europe, skiing, hiking, camping, enjoying
life. The last thing I would do is install Ubuntu for some unsuspecting
user who happens to stumble into your shop.

But you on the other hand, posts here every day. How does it feel to be a
lying sack of SHIT?

Nothing at all to do with it.
I can use the sound card, or the OB sound...same shit ass results.
If these free linux games are so great /puke/ why has openArena in years
been downloaded for *free* less than 10,000 times?
Cause it fuckin *sucks* you loon!

Wow - Open Arena based on Quake from 1999. Just imagine, by 2020, they may
have Open Arena SP1 !!! LOL!

What a crock of shit.

I think I understand what is going on now. This Alias person perhaps has
some mental issues.

It doesn't matter.
His mother tried that also.
He still grew up to become an ubuntard.

Canonical says you are a liar.

Some thieves simply ignore the law.
Not suprising.

And when you go to the support groups you are told to add packman to the
repository so that you can download the win32 codecs and libdvdcss and
install them. Unfortunately, this leads to other dependency nightmares.
Even then, it still won't work because there is yet another codec
needed... like H.264 or H.263. And yet it still won't work.
All it does is put you on a scavenger hunt for days.

Then please post the exact dvd player and how and where to get the
necessary codecs and libs and how to get the player to recognize them.
It isn't automatic.

Nice. Now post which dvd player, the codecs and where to find and
install them plus the libs.

I've tried four different distros on two different VMs and no luck.
One VM was VirtualBox and the other was VMWare Fusion.

People keep saying that, but do not provide the necessary steps in
getting them to run on Ubuntu. I've got 8.10 Ubuntu. It comes up with
a popup box saying I need the codecs.

Hehehe... go to any linux distro website and search for "How to play a
commercial DVD" and their site will tell you that due to copyright
infringement they do not provide the rest of the enchilada to play dvds.
