I haven't had ANY problems with Ubuntu so I have not been following the
list closely, so forgive me if this has been covered.  I recently
installed to a new machine because I am giving my old machine away to
someone and I cannot get gstreamer OR xine to work on my computer.  :(
When I install either one, this is what I get (btw, gstreamer did not
work from the initial install)...
