Comment 41 for bug 213206

1. I did get this to work following suggested configurations from the
ubuntu community.
I will follow up with the exact changes in a subsequent email.
2. I am running the 64-bit version of ubuntu although I don't think
that matters
here. 32-bit versus 64-bit is irrelevant to the issue.
3. there is a multimedia group in the ubuntu web support community that
provided useful
suggestions.
