But what about Vice? The C64 emulator doesn’t work right even with 48khz! Seriously, it just sputters sound fragments like mentioned above. Sound is totally broken with Vice in this Ubuntu version. Does anyone have further advice?

Just a quick note, since this page turns up as one of the first hits in Google, the way to fix the “Sound Fragmentation” problem in VICE is to set the sample rate to 48000Hz.

Like Donn, everything went so smoothly with 8.10, I deleted Vista. However I’ve had a lot of problems installing it on a friend’s machine, which has AMD and NVidia graphics, if that’s a clue.
My only problem on my own machine (Intel and Intel graphics) is that I’ve discovered that Real Audio doesn’t play sound anymore. I occasionaly dip in to RTE Live, and I’m sure it worked when I upgraded to 8.10, but it doesn’t now.

OK, I figured out that running the xinput commands as root works. Didn’t say that anywhere. Xbox 360 controller now working in Ubuntu 8.10!

I use it to play games in Vice, the c64 emulator, and sdlmame, the arcade emulator. Very important IMO!

I’ve never tried using any joypad with ubuntu. Do you use it for games or just for generally navigating around the place? I’m planning to use XBMC for a media centre on one of my Xubuntu boxes and will be looking into remote options for that soon.
