[sf-lug] Youtube Issues

[Blake Haggerty]

Another comment on the Automatix all though it is certainly crappy, I will say it is the only thing that has made it possible for me to read and write onto my NTFS formatted drive. I tried installing NTFS-3g myself multiple times and I was never able to actually get it to work...

I'm sure this comment won't be useful, but every time (without 
exception) that I've seen someone reference the use of Automatix in any 
linux-related IRC channel there is a chorus of "NO!" and a litany of 
objections to the use of this tool. I myself have used it once in the 
distant past and though I can not say definitively that it's the source 
of the issues I had, I can say that I take the advice of the general 
linux community when they say "NO!"... 

Now, as to swiftfox, I have used it and you can install it without using 
Automatix. I might as why you are going with swiftfox. I know for me I 
used it when I'd installed Kubuntu Feisty x64 and found it had a number 
of the add-ons that I couldn't get (easily) with the stock FireFox. 

I found a reference to this site when I queried #ubuntu with !automatix: 
http://mjg59.livejournal.com/77440.html. Anyone else have any comments 
on Automatix? 


Cheers

As of last night every video freezes after about 3 seconds. I am trying to think of what changes I have made to my system and the only thing that comes to mind is I installed Automatix (http://www.linux.com/articles/114124)
