Linux versions of 0.9.6 available, including Feisty
June 5th, 2007 — Nicholas Reville
Most of the gnu/linux versions of 0.9.6 have been posted at the downloads page: Go get em. This includes support for Ubuntu Feisty.
Update: there were some issues, but it should be fixed now.

The Ubuntu Feisty url on the downloads page in incorrect, the end reads fiesty/ instead of feisty/ - here’s what it should be:
deb http://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/pculture.org/democracy/linux/repositories/ubuntu feisty/

The typo is still there.

Thanks for the Feisty repository, and all the work done on 0.9.6!
(I noticed the fiesty error, so no worries.
Downloading…)

I have the same output as Edward on Feisty. The SVN version works pretty well.
June 6th, 2007 at 6:57 am
Sorry about all these problems— we’re working on it!
June 6th, 2007 at 8:05 am
Is there a bugreport? Perhaps with an RSS, so i can be notified on updates to it?
June 6th, 2007 at 8:31 am
Hi folks, we just updated the feisty packages. The segfault should be fixed now.

I was pretty impatient, sorry. It works now. Thanks a million. Finally. Been waiting for this for quite a while. Feisty has been out for some time now.
June 6th, 2007 at 1:48 pm
Seems to work now!

Hi,
Installed on Feisty great, but, how do enable proxy support?
I cannot find an option anywhere and when I export the proxy that does not work either!

[...] I wrote about Democracy a month ago, back then the biggest comment that I got was that Democracy wouldent work for them. Democracy just released version 0.9.6 today and in the release post they claimed to have fixed support for feisty. Now I have been running the stock version that comes in the Ubuntu repository’s and I must say it is a product that once you use it you will never go back. I love coming home and having all of my vlogs downloaded for me ready to watch, I just wish I could find more Ubuntu vlogs, if anyone can find some let please post a link in the comments. I’m quite adventurous when it comes to Ubuntu and I will install anything weather or not I think it will break my system. So I backed up my ~/.democracy folder added the democracy repository, they have a great tutorial by the way, to my sources.list and upgraded. [...]

Could you release a package for amd64 as well?

When is the version for Fedora Core 6 coming out?
June 12th, 2007 at 3:48 pm
Fedora 6 is up, I believe, is that not working?

Awesome. It used to crash after a video finished playing forcing the use of a separate media player - it’s good to see it fixed.
Looking forward to the release of Miro.

I have just downloaded DemocracyPlayer 0.9.6 and thank you for making such a fine application available on my Ubuntu 7.04 desktop.
However, there are a few mp4 files that I downloaded from the Archive of Classic Movies which cause my PC to freeze completely, so I have to do a hardware restart. I thought it was only those market for ipod download but I downloaded one which was not marked so, yet it also froze my PC entirely. I understand that there are formats that DemocracyPlayer cannot understand, but it should have a safety feature to just reject it and not crash the operating system. I thought GNU/Linux was safe from application crashes bringing the OS down, but I see that it is not so.
Could you explain the problem? Thank you.

Please please please release an amd64 package…
The automatic update of democracy-data has disabled democracy and now I can’t get Miro to install because of dependency issues. So now I can’t run either.
