I get the same thing occasionally, and fix it by hitting the play button until it works :-)

Chris,

Anyway, that's a nice job you did there, when it comes to people doing as you said, "word processing and email" Ubuntu really sticks out as a green light, mainly because of how suitable it is for that, not all pc's are for the power user *cough Slackware *cough* and it's nice to see someone that is finding Ubuntu a comfortable distro to use.

I recently tested Linux Mint (basically Ubuntu with gnome-main-menu and all the codecs preinstalled) on a non-techie user (my other half in fact).

I tried Mint recently in a virtual machine on my desktop. I had problems watching NASA TV (it was during the recent shuttle mission). It would start up, make the connection and then stop playing. Looks like it was using mplayer to do all this. I had the same problem with mplayer on gutsy. Did you ever try this and have any success?

Regards, Tony.
