Weekly Birdbath

By Laura Laura Permalink

Consider this a sponge bath because, well, I’ve been on vacation and I’m out of the loop so it’s going to be short and sweet.

I wanted to remind you that tomorrow, October 30th, is the last day to submit your video for our Songbird Demo Video Contest. A few more submissions have rolled in so head here to cast your fan favorite votes.

Also, I see some of you have been busy pitching in on the device testing front, so thanks!

Other than that, how about you guys tell me what’s up for a change? :-)

    We’re all very anxious for Kenya to be released. Any idea when that might happen?

    Yes, Purple Rain is what’s up… Seems pretty exciting, I agree.
    But, hey, will the Bookmarking system be removed totally, or just moved?
    I cannot stress how we need Bookmarks in Songbird :)

    What is Purple Rain exactly? o.O

    Karmic Koala came out yesterday. Great release for me :) .

    Songbird couldn’t start up, though, because of some wonky python bug. Any that are also affected can check this report out:

    @syst3m Purple Rain is the new Songbird skin feather.

    @Chauncellor Just to let you know that this bug is not effecting everyone. I’ve updated (fresh install) 9.10 and have had no issues starting up Songbird.

    @coskibum phew! im glad you’re good! I’m upgrading to 9.10 today and I’ve been lucky enough to never have had any of the libvisual/gst-python problems that are on GS. I always assume it’s because of my Dell laptop, (since Dell makes Ubuntu laptops, and at least my hardware is ubuntu friendly).. its a crazy assumption, but it makes me feel better when on ubuntu.

    @ Michael Yeah I’m not sure if it’s a hardware issue or how you update. Since you can update to 9.10 through the update manager or fresh install, I wonder if the path you take to update could be the cause.

    Well I gave up this time for the video contest, too bad I had no time.

    @Geekshadow: Never give up! hehe. Mines gonna be a little late, but it’ll be there.. For the first time in while I had to put school as P1 since I had 4 tests this week, and Songbird was P2, weird, huh.. But my video is on its way now…

    Glad that not everyone is affected by that in karmic. I did an upgrade from Jaunty, so who knows what happened?

    Just wondering where I can get the latest beta release for Win7?

    Also – does the community know that Smart Playlists don’t work?

    It is a really, really dumb idea to reuse the same post title (“Weekly Birdbath”) for many different posts. What the heck is the point of a title?

    Seeing a zillion “Weekly Birdbath”s in my RSS reader, I’m led to skip over every one.

    Why is this happening?
