It just starts up and instantaneously crashes. I already installed the w32codecs package from universe but that doesn't help. Moreover, contrary to the Mandrake 10 I had on my computer beforehand, I don't get any sound-previews in nautilus anymore. Normally, it just started playing a file when I did a mouseover on a wav or mp3 file, now it doesn't. Any clues here? Btw., Ubuntu is in my opinion a very good distribution. I think I'll stick to it, being a former mandrake user. If it wasn't for the multimedia issues, it would have been even more astonishing. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
