Any ideas why the VLC sound quality is incredibly awful for me? I know so many people who swear by it, but it sounds to me like a mis-tuned radio station.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

Thank you Daniel, that looks interesting. The things you learn here.

VLC always sounds awful to me too. I'm not sure I can blame the software though, since I only use it to play things that were so badly encoded I can't play them on anything else.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
My home computer just downloaded a Windows update to fix that most recent large and horrible flaw. Guess they decided to rush.

Lurching from one disaster to the next.
VLC works perfectly fine for me on 99.99999% of files I run through it.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
I could not find this. Hmmm.
Turns out it's only in the very old version of WMM I have on my office machine.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Is anyone up to talking me through Ubuntu dependencies? Man, whoever told me that .debs were easier than .RPMs lied like the cheapest of rugs. Or perhaps, nah, it must be Debian's fault.
When I run vnc4server, it barfs at me. Starts vnc, but with no x server. Says:
Xvnc: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
xsetroot: unable to open display 'ororo:1'
vncconfig: unable to open display "ororo:1"
Window manager error: Unable to open X display ororo:1

I know gnome's properly installed, because I'm running it right now.
Versions: vnc4server=4.0-8, gnome 2.6

Thanks, but I'm not running vncserver. When I yank that out of the search term, I don't get anything useful. Also not running anything with RPMs. That I'd know how to fix. It's the deb dependency thing that's got me flummoxed.

This seems to be similar issue and the following in that link seems to have resolved it:
You can try installing the libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2 package from the current stable branch ("apt-get install libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2"), but you still may need to create a symlink ("ln -s /usr/lib/libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3 /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.3"). You may also want to see if there is a newer version of whatever binary you are running, perhaps something linked against a more modern version of the library.
