I've looked at both LinuxICE and nGhost, and so far I like nGhost - although, it's giving me hell trying to get it fully working. Took me about 2 hours to get through dependency hell and another 3 to get it to load (kept getting funky error msgs). Now I'm trying to figure out why mPlayer crashes when trying to start anything via nGhost (mPlayer works fine outside nGhost, but inside i get sig 11*). But so far I like nGhost. Seems nice.
As for LinuxICE. I hated it right out of the box. Not sure exactly why, either. Spent maybe 4 hours inside it playing around and just didnt like it.
So... Are there any other Linux front ends out there? I'm curious to check them all out before I decide to ditch them all and make my own.
* mPlayer sig 11 output:
Code:
MPlayer interrupted by signal 11 in module: decode_video
- MPlayer crashed by bad usage of CPU/FPU/RAM.
Recompile MPlayer with --enable-debug and make a 'gdb' backtrace and
disassembly. Details in DOCS/HTML/en/bugreports_what.html#bugreports_crash.
- MPlayer crashed. This shouldn't happen.
It can be a bug in the MPlayer code _or_ in your drivers _or_ in your
gcc version. If you think it's MPlayer's fault, please read
DOCS/HTML/en/bugreports.html and follow the instructions there. We can't and
won't help unless you provide this information when reporting a possible bug.
