After upgrading to Intrepid Kaudiocreator was no longer available, so I decided to give Sound Juicer a try. When I went to the preferences to change the encoding to MP3, I found that it was missing. So I clicked edit and found that the option was there for MP3 output. Turns out the option will not show up until you install this package – gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly-multiverse. So just type the following and your set.

sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly-multiverse

I ran into this error on a fresh Ubuntu Hardy server I set up hosting a SVN repository.  The error messages may look like the following:

 
svn: warning: cannot set LC_CTYPE locale
svn: warning: environment variable LANG is en_US.UTF-8
svn: warning: please check that your locale name is correct

This won’t cause any problems with the functionality of Subversion, but it gets annoying.  So the problem is that the LANG that is specified (in my case en_US.UTF-8) isn’t installed.  So, to install it do the following:

 
apt-get install language-pack-en-base

This will ask you if you want to install language-pack-en also, so say yes to the prompt.  Then you will be set.  If you language is something other than English “en”, then install the appropriate locale package.
