There are lots of things that don't work in the kubuntu version, one thing being automatic tagging. It's really not so hard to install from source, especially if you've already installed it via the package as most of the dependencies will already be met.

Despite the advanced networking capabilities of Linux, the only network filesystem which is available seems to be NFS. There are others but they are either still in development, not free or not featured enough to act as a replacement for NFS... unitl now. Enter SMBFS. SMBFS allows Linux to mount a remote SMB share but until now it did not act like a UNIX file system, even if the remote host was Samba running on a UNIX or Linux machine. This page is the home of the CIFS for UNIX implementation for SMBFS. Along with the server side Samba implementation, directories can now be mounted across the network using SMB.

Sounds simply it's so not! So when I finally found a program that could find the shares. They wouldn't mount. You have to follow this guys code. see note.

Nautilus mounted them fine, and displayed the correct folder and file names, but the files were not cashed which caused very slow response times, and I was having difficulty with my keyring among other things.

MythTV is probably the best Media Centre available at the moment for Digital TV. I have had it in production for over a year now and have used it every day. Many thanks to Issac Richards the maintainer and all the active developers.

I wanted amarok to be able to play these files. I add them to the collection and that's fine, but when I go to scan, after about 86%, it gives me a list of files that it couldn't process. Somehow this leaves me with about 3/4 of my music unable to be added to the collection. I checked the files and they do have the proper permissions, just like every other file in these folders. Computing > Linux > Howto narky Sat, 04 Nov 2006 01:41:32 GMT http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=226341 I have Ubuntu 6.06 installed on my Acer 1682WLMI laptop. My LAN includes a server machine running FC4, with several shares mounted with Samba. Yesterday, I upgraded the packages on the FC4 machine, and these included Samba, which is now at 3.0.23a. Unfortunately, this seems to have broken my mounted shares, which is annoying as I'd only just got them working a couple of days ago. Computing > Linux > Howto narky Sun, 05 Nov 2006 00:12:18 GMT http://amarok.kde.org/wiki/Samba Using Samba shares with Amarok. You have your music files on a remote computer, and you share these files via samba/windows file sharing. The shared files may be read only or writeable by you, and you have them mounted on your local filesystem. You can access the files just fine there and play them, but they cannot be added to the collection. Adding silently fails, is very slow, or music gets added but cannot be played.
