Todays update in SID of gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad
does not solve the problem "cannot decode many common video files encoded as AVC 1 Baseline"

see
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sour ... bug/973014

if you have this problem
just move libgstvideoparsersbad.so out of the way.

For 64 bit install:
sudo mv /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gstreamer-0.10/libgstvideoparsersbad.so /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gstreamer-0.10/libgstvideoparsersbad.so.bak
For 32 bit install:
sudo mv /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/gstreamer-0.10/libgstvideoparsersbad.so /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/gstreamer-0.10/libgstvideoparsersbad.so.bak

Unless you are using an Ubuntu package bugs on Launchpad are meaningless.

This explains, why the problem is not solved.
Nobody has reported this error to Debian.

I am using the same plugin as you, from Debian of course:

Installed: 0.10.23-2

Download a video from youtube as mp4 with low resolution

I tried it and I had no problems

Well...... Hasn't SID been playing nice the last 3 weeks or so...
Lots of updates, no problems....

Maybe I spoke too soon?

I keep hoping to see XFCE 4.10. It's been in experimental for a while now but I have no idea how to tell when it will migrate to SID.

[GeneC]

I had temporarily enabled Experimental and upgraded all the xfce packages to 4.10 that I could find. Might have missed something.
Saw no big differences..? Except some panel applets no longer worked.
Reverted to a recent clone.
Decided to wait for them to filter down to SID.

I'm excited for the multiple rows and/or the deskbar mode:

Then I'll be back to making my desktop work like KDE did before KDE 4 ... progress.

I have had no problems since upgrading to Xfce 4.10 from the Experimental repository.

Doesn't anything go wrong with SID anymore..

The recent past

Thanks, I did it yesterday. The main functionality is fine, some of the plugins aren't working (weather, mixer, orage calendar) but those are secondary concerns.

Eric

I took a look at the xfce tour link you posted, thanks.
Some nice new features

[GeneC]

Decided to over write an old LMDE partition with brand new install of LMDE/XFCE 2012-04.
My old partition had grown to 8+GB and had accumulated a lot of old Gnome 2.3 cruft.

1. Installed LMDE/XFCE 201204 64bit DVD

2. Changed apt preferences to all the same
Changed repos to testing.
Distribution Upgrade
1036 packages to upgrade
All went OK

3. Changed repos to SID
368 packages to upgrade
All went OK.

4. Removed over 250MB of Gnome stuff..
(I thought this was XFCE)... ...

5. Removed all 'mono'

6. Removed all 'orphaned files with (upgrade-system, which utilizes 'deborphan'), just less then 300MB removed.

7. Added pretty much the same apps I had before.

8. Now total install is 4.57GB

^^--^^ you are a bit bored friend

[GeneC]

Hi... ZZ...

Exactly.....
Thought of using the smallest and freshest install of LMDE to possibly put the latest KDE on top of it.
Haven't really used KDe that much. Never really given it a chance. I see several threads showing how to get the latest KDE. Thought to give it a try.
(Been raining here in Maine all MONTH>>>)

hey hey Gene is going kde welcome to the sweet side

[GeneC]

I am so damn fickel.......

[zerozero]

I am so damn fickel.......

you know you gonna love it
1000% customizable, sane defaults, the best app in town: dolphin anyone? k3b? amarok, clementine, smplayer (ok in fairness the last 2 are not true kde app but are qt), quassel or konversation? ahh i was almost forgetting digikam (outstanding piece of software)
