Rhapsody bug work-around; get Rhapsody.com on FF 2.0.0.6

I discovered when I upgraded to Firefox 2.0.0.6 that I couldn’t get the player to install properly from Rhapsody.com.

I’m certain the problem is on the Rhapsody.com end, and I’m alarmed they haven’t fixed it yet.

In the mean time, I’ve found a direct URL that you can use (at your own risk) to install the player extension in Firefox.

I used it and it worked fine for me.

You can download the Rhapsody Player Plugin here.

A Gutsy Move…

Well, due to having to upgrade the kernel to Gutsy in to order to get sound support, and then having to compile against that kernel to get the right video driver, X didn’t like the driver since it was compiled against different modules than the X-Server itself.

Don’t know what I’m talking about?

That’s fine, that’s why you should buy a Zonbu in the first place! Even so, stay with me. I’m downloading the Gutsy ISO so I can install that and hopefully get the correct video driver working, and then report back.

Still don’t know what I’m on about? Ignore this post and enjoy the rest of the blog. It is almost all non-technical.

Zonbuntu? I feel kind of guilty…

I have to admit I feel kind of guilty.

This afternoon I’m installing Ubuntu on an alternate 8GB flash card to see how it performs on the Zonbu hardware.

I’ve put my 8GB Sandisk Extreme III card (with the Zonbu OS stack) away for safe keeping.

So far, things seem to be going ok. In fact, I’m writing this from the Zonbu box, via Firefox 2.0.0.6 under Ubuntu.

I installed the Ubuntu Feisty 7.04 Desktop, did the recommended package updates via their tool, and then followed these docs on the Zonbu forums to get the audio working…
