Linux newbie needs advice

Nov 3, 2009 12:41AM PST

Hi,I have a 7 yr old HP computer with a 80g hard drive. I have windows XP and I also put Ubuntu on 27g of the HD. I have upgraded from jaunty to kharmic. I like to listen to my hometown sports radio station. I can do this with xp but not with ubuntu. Can anyone lead me in the right direction? or is that not possible? Thank you in advance. Dan

You didn't reveal if there was some web site, plugin or player used in Windows. Your post is too light to hazard a guess yet.

the web site is WGR Sports Radio 550 out of Buffalo,NY. The Player says ENTERCOM on it but as it is loading it says transferring data from streamtheworld. Dan

I wonder if it is Flash and you have installed adobe-flashplugin

More particularly have you installed ubuntu-restricted-extras

I have not installed anything except the updates. I guess I have to learn how to do that. Thank you for replying. At least I know that it can be done. Dan

Well..I restarted Ubuntu and now the player works great. After installing the extras I did not restart because I had not gotten any message that I needed to. Anyway..Thank you to all that helped. VERY MUCH appreciated. Dan
