I've tried to wget this version into /home/olpc/Documents and then run it
in jukebox via the journal. It won't play. It won't play in Browse directly
either. I suspect it has something to do with this VMETA drivers you speak
of. Does the stable image have VMETA? If not, how does one get the drivers?

A working solution would be great.
