Public bug reported: Here's the error output in the console. This was from an update. The original installation of ubuntu-restricted-extras, which brought this in, worked fine. I think I was using a java applet during the upgrade. Package version is 2:0.96.1-1ubuntu1 (hardy) and this is on an hardy current with proposed updates.
