One weak point of Foresight Linux is the almost inexistent documentation. Add to this fact a very bad searching feature in the package manager, and you got it: it’s hard to find how to play a simple MP3 with Banshee.
May be it’s because I’m used to aptitude and the high standards of the Ubuntu’s documentation, but every time I need to install something with conary… it’s a nightmare.
After some googling I’ve realized that the gstreamer plugins are packaged as gst-plugin-* (you won’t find them searching for gstreamer plugin
; d’oh!). With following command, you’ll be able to play MP3 files:
$ sudo conary update gst-plugins-ugly
I’ve recommended Foresight Linux Mobile to some notebook users, but I’m starting to think Foresight Linux isn’t ready yet.
Update: I’ve added an entry in the FAQ.
