...sorry, submitted that comment too soon...(no comment
editing...grumble grumble)
My point was, Michael, that if I disable Universe repo, and try playing
the stream provided by Gabriele, it doesn't find any codecs ("No
packages with the requested plugins found when trying to play that
stream. The requested plugins are: Advanced Streaming Format (ASF)
demuxer") With Universe enabled, however, it finds gstreamer0.10
-plugsin-ugly as it should.
This is a regression, at least from 8.04 (I don't have an 8.10 disc on
hand to test), and is pretty problematic for new users. Given that the
universe repository is disabled by default, the installer won't find
most (all?) required codecs without fiddling around with exactly the
type of administrative tool that this package was designed to avoid. I
suppose what I'm trying to say (in an admittedly round-about way) is
that it seems to me this bug (as well as bugs 351130 and 363594 which
both appear to be essentially duplicates) should probably have higher
than "Medium" priority, and should really be fixed for Jaunty final, if
at all possible.
Gabriele, Scott, could you please test if enabling the Universe repository
(System>Administration>Software Sources then check "Community Maintained Open
Source Software") causes the relevant codecs to be found?
If so, and these really are all caused by the same root problem, we should
probably file a new meta-bug, and mark these three as dupes.
Cheers!
