Forget the post I did before. menek showd me this BUG report in launchpad. installing libflashsupport is a bad ideia that will make firefox crash ofen.The problem is with Flash and PulseAudio ( the new audio server in Ubuntu Hardy ).

I think that this should work, this is what I did and it works, I have sound in flash videos.

A workarroung, until there is an update to fix this, is to set your system to user Alsa . To do this:

* System -Preferences - Sound

**  In Sound Playback choose Alsa

This will help

ps : dont forget to remove libflashsupport if you installed it.

Updated - Read This Post

If you dont have sound with Firefox in Flash, you may need to install the package libflashsupport

sudo apt-get install libflashsupport

Updated!

Updating guiaubuntupt.org, it will be back soon

Continuing my post about Slicehost.

Here is a speed test with a test file given by them in the wiki.

I think it has a good speed for a shared environment like is.

One of the things I liked, was the information available and the community. We can access:

1. Articles - Tutorials and tecnical articles to help config the VPS
2. Wiki - Tips and trick
3. Forum  - Talk to everyone.

I’m liking the service, and its easy to use. I’ll do a post about the Management system that Slicehost gives.

Slicehost

Just got myself a Slice256 at slicehost.

slice256 - 20$/month - 256 ram, 10GB space, 100GB Bandwidth

Some Features:

Full root access and rebooting
Choice of Linux distro
Dedicated IP address and Tier-1 redundant bandwidth
Reserved RAM

Slicehost is a VPS ( Virtual Private Server ) provider, where you can have full control of your “server”.

These servers are virtual, and to do that they use Xen to virtualize the machines in their Quad-core servers.

I needed a server for personal and work related issues, and a dedicated server is just to expensive.

I’ll tell you my thoughts when I do some more tests

Get your Slice today

( And give me a help :p )

Is the mirror that you use daily down ?

To select another mirror just:

System -> Administration -> Synaptic - Settings - Repositories - DOWNLOAD FROM

And choose from the list.
