Question #76760 on Ubuntu changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/76760
marcobra (Marco Braida) proposed the following answer:
Play mp3 and dvd under Ubuntu install skype googleearth acroread and
other stuffs using Medibuntu
First please install https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats
You need to have extra repositories enabled..
Please first enable the universe and multiverse repository:
Open System → Administration → Software sources → [ Tab Ubuntu software
]
enable "Community-maintained Open Source software ( universe )"
enable "Proprietary drivers for devices ( restricted )"
enable "Software restrictecd by copyright or legal issue ( multiverse )"
Close and confirm the repository reload.
Type the following command in a terminal (applications → accessories →
terminal)
sudo aptitude install vlc smplayer mplayer
To get better dvd playback and optional packages here the medibuntu available software list http://packages.medibuntu.org/
you need to add the medibuntu http://www.medibuntu.org/ repository to your /etc/apt/sources.list file:
( here the medibuntu howto https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu but see below )
In short type or better copy and paste the rows, below one row a time
then press enter:
ubu_codename=$(sudo lsb_release -c | cut -d: -f 2 | sed 's/^[ \t]*//;s/[ \t]*$//')
sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/$ubu_codename.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list
wget -q http://packages.medibuntu.org/medibuntu-key.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add - && sudo apt-get update
Now to install, type:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras libxine1-ffmpeg
sudo aptitude install libdvdread3 libdvdnav4 libdvdcss regionset gnome-mplayer
sudo aptitude install non-free-codecs w32codecs
sudo aptitude install gstreamer0.10-pitfdll gstreamer0.10-plugins-good
sudo aptitude install gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly-multiverse
give your user password when requested, you don't see nothing when you
type it, then press enter.
You can also install other Medibuntu repository provided optional
software http://packages.medibuntu.org/ :
sudo apt-get install skype
sudo apt-get install googleearth
sudo apt-get install acroread
Hope this helps
