Hi
I installed ubuntu 9.10 and is working fine. But when i play mp3 or vcd its asking plugin and search. But in search its said no plugins found. I have internet connection and is working fine in ubuntu. Can anyone help me to solve this.
Ubuntu cannot ship(for legal reasons) some popular proprietary media codecs. You can install all these codecs by simply installing a package named "ubuntu-restricted-extras" which gives you all of these- Adobe Flash for watching YouTube videos, Microsoft Core Fonts for
viewing some sites properly, Java, MP3/M4A/ACC/ETC playback, .RAR
extraction, pretty much most video codec's one would likely need (.avi,
.divx, .wmv, etc) and a ton more besides.
In Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala:-
1) Go to System-->administration-->Software Sources, then check all the boxes under "downloadable from internet" (if it's not already ticked).
2) Then go to Applications-->> Ubuntu Software Center, search for "ubuntu restricted extras" & install the package by clicking the small arrow button.
In older versions:-
There is no "Ubuntu Software Center".
1) Follow step 1 as above
2)Then go to Terminal, type "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras".
