Doing this could allow a malicious individual to damage or take control of your system.” But by now I’d gone through so many windows that I just didn’t care any more, so I clicked “Apply”.Ī “Downloading” progress window appeared briefly, but this was soon replaced by an error alert saying “An error occured” (), “The following details are provided” (), and a series of error messages of the form “Could not resolve 'nz.'”.ĭownloading? Resolve? Waaaaait a minute. The pointer turned into a for a few seconds. Well, I thought, maybe that is necessary for playing music after all, so I entered my password. I clicked “Retry”, the screen went dark, and showed the same message about Synaptic modifying essential parts of my system. ![]() A progress window appeared briefly, followed by an error alert () that said that “There has been a problem during the installation of the following pieces of software” (), but didn’t list any software (). #Ubuntu musicplayer password#The screen went dark and asked me to “Enter your password to perform administrative tasks - The application 'Synaptic Package Manager' lets you modify essential parts of your system.” This didn’t seem right: I didn’t want to modify essential parts of my system, I just wanted to play some music (). The same alert appeared for the second item (). I pressed Enter, and nothing happened (), so I clicked “Confirm”. I checked the checkbox for the first item, and a confirmation alert appeared. The whole time, the Music Player progress bar was bouncing back and forth, despite apparently being “Paused” (). Unfortunately, while it did show information, it wasn’t useful: when I highlighted the first item, the second pane said (and I am not making this up) “GStreamer is a streaming media framework, based on graphs of filters which operate on media data” (). I guessed that if I selected an item in the first pane, the second pane would give me a clue about whether it was the right one. I guessed I was supposed to check one of the items, but I didn’t know which one (). If I hadn’t known what a codec was, I wouldn’t have understood this window at all it contained two items, neither of which were checked, a second pane displaying a “Quick Introduction” claiming that these items were “applications” (), and an “Install” button that was greyed out by default. A progress window appeared, soon replaced by an “Install multimedia codecs” () window. I pressed Enter, and nothing happened (), so I clicked “Search”. I had no idea what “this file” was supposed to be I hadn’t selected any file (). An actual iPod nano was shown (again white) in the "Devices" section of the side pane, but this pane was too narrow by default ( bug 145234), and the iPod was not selected by default ( bug 187060).Īll this was obscured, however, behind a “Search for suitable codec?” () dialog that said “The required software to play this file is not installed”. A couple of seconds later, a "Music Player (Paused)" window opened in the top left corner of the screen. Then an icon of a white music player (obviously not an iPod nano) appeared on the desktop, correctly named as I’d named it on the Mac. Nothing happened for seven seconds ( bug 187054). ![]() While logged in, I connected a black first-generation iPod nano that had been used on a Mac, containing a mixture of songs, podcasts, photos, and some text files. Retested with Ubuntu Hardy beta by MatthewPaulThomas. A typical experience will have many user stories. User stories define how this experience should behave, and the expected functionality of the software implementing the experience. #Ubuntu musicplayer how to#Eventually, this page will describe the current experience in Ubuntu when transferring music to and from a portable music player, define the ideal experience, and plan how to get from here to there. ![]()
