Try do install without the key. There is no problem of doing it.

Doesn’t work –

I added the repository, but when I try to update the repository, I get this error:

“W: GPG error: http://ppa.launchpad.net intrepid Release: The following signatures couldn’t be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 9423A34CCA967634″

What do I need to do?

hi, I’d like to try this procedure but I’m wondering: I have 1.4 installed and dont want to lose all the ratings and preferences, SQL database set up etc. If I do as you suggested, will I lose those things? Will it work at all? thanks

It seems to me that Amarok 2 is similar to 1.4 – but with all of the best parts removed!

Now you can’t have a separate collection/player window

Now there aren’t the same options to organise your files or do half the things you could access from a right click in Amarok 1.4!!!

I managed to import all my files, have them arranged and taken care of with 1.4 – to reimport them with 2 seems impossible!

Tried and failed, there doesn’t yet seem to be an opensource player for blu-ray yet.

To be honest, I have yet to try.

I have one Blu-Ray disc, I bought it from eBay (haha, cheapies), I’ll try it now and tell you how it went.

Though I’m using Linux Mint at the moment, it is more or less a modified version of Ubuntu, and should provide the same results.

Ah, you have the other Acer 6920.

Acer released two configurations for manufacturers to sell, one had an NVIDIA card (not sure which one), the other had an ATI Radeon HD 3650 card.

NVIDIA seems to be much more supported by Ubuntu, and I’ve heard it’s a faster card too…
Did yours come with the Blu-Ray drive?
