Asked by sandra.bodkin

This is the question: Rythmbox Music Player comes with two visualisations. Are there any other visualisations for this Music Player and if there are where can I download them? Thanks.

Open up Synaptic and install a package called libvisual-0.4-plugins (System>Administration>Synaptic Package Manager).

That should give you some more visualisations to play with.

Thanks David. I did that and the package installed but I can't find the visualsations. Do you know how to access them or how to find them. I assumed they were automatically installed into the Musicplayer?

Once you've got some music playing click the 'Visualisation' button and the default visualisation should start playing.. now if you mouse-over the visualisation a little menu should appear at the bottom, just click on the drop-down and you should see the new ones you've just installed.

Hope that helps you, any more problems feel free to ask.

I did as you said and it worked. Now I have all the visualisations. Thanks very much. I've been on Ubuntu only a week and there is a lot to learn. So, thanks again.
