Hi suyash, Have You installed Gstreamer plugins? Search them in Synaptic Package Manager(System>Administration) or Add/Remove and install them and will be able to make your Ubuntu Multimedia-enabled. Make sure universe, multiverse,etc is enabled (Synaptic>Reposotories).
You will be prompted for root password. Enter YOUR Password when prompted.

Lil prob here

Audio and video not playing

Could be numerous problems. Maybe it would help if you said when ti doesnt work . Like when playing what file ? Or viewing a dvd? Or watching youtube? Usually installing ubuntu-restricted-extras take care of that though.

hey dude when i goes to install codecs it says "Pllease insert Ubuntu_gatsy_gibbion Disc " and then i put Digit DvD of ubuntu it doesn't expect it

[Rahim]

Ubuntu DVD doesnot contain proprietary stuff.
Open Software Sources(System>Admin) and uncheck Ubuntu Installation DVD and then reload by typing this in the Terminal(Application>Accessories)

sudo apt-get update

and now install the codecs. Enter your password when prompted.

Do the above ^ Or refer to Darkstars guide on how to play Audio files.

@rahim i unmark this


but when i play a mp3 song it says

Search for suitable codec?
The required software to play this file is not installed. You need to install suitable codecs to play media files. Do you want to search for a codec that supports the selected file?

The search will also include software which is not officially supported.

{cancel} {search}



i pressed search and then a window opened titled "install multimedia codecs" GStremer extra plugins "codecs to play mp3 sid........." This application is provided by the Ubuntu community.



and when i mark{plugin box} the box a new win. appear "Confirm installation of restricted software" The use of this software may be restricted in some countries. You must verify that one of the following is true:

• These restrictions do not apply in your country of legal residence
• You have permission to use this software (for example, a patent license)
• You are using this software for research purposes only

{cancel } {confirm}

i pressed confirm then it says "The list of applications is not availabe"Click on 'Reload' to load it. To reload the list you need a working internet connection.

{refresh} {cancel}


i pressed refresh and nothing good here same prob again and again

DO you have a internet connection? Else try to get these codecs using apt-on-cd from nearby LUG.

[Rahim]

Hey suyash you have to be connected to the Internet to get Gstreamer Codes Are your internet working in Ubuntu? Just a query.
You did everything allright but should be online while doing it.
One more thing make sure universe, multiverse, restricted are enabled in Software Sources and then reload.

[suyashpandit]

yes i hav internet connection and i am sending these msg. from ubuntu

[Rahim]

then do as i said and see.

[suyashpandit]

maybe now it will work

Yoooooooooo its done!!!!!! thanks so lot...

Koolll man you rocks i appreciate :d

[Rahim]

Yes it will.
You might add Medibuntu Repo to download some multimedia packages to watch DVDs and other formats.
You are usint Ubuntu 7.10 "Gutsy Gibbon", right?
Open A terminal and enter this to add Medibuntu Repo:

sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/gutsy.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list

Then, add the GPG Key:

wget -q http://packages.medibuntu.org/medibuntu-key.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add - && sudo apt-get update

Now Install w32codecs & libdvdcss2 packages:

sudo apt-get install w32codecs libdvdcss2

Just take your time and dont get figgity with those commands.
