I got the problem fixed. I removed the packages that were installed by the metapackage "ubuntu-restricted-extras".
"sudo apt-get remove --purge ffmpeg gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg gstreamer0.10 -fluendo-mp3 gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly liba52-0.7.4 libavcodec52 libavformat52 libavutil49 libdvdnav4 libdvdread4 libgsm1 libid3tag0 libmad0 libmpeg2-4 libpostproc51 libschroedinger-1.0-0 libsidplay1 libswscale0 libtwolame0 ubuntu-restricted-extras libavcodec52 libavformat52 libswscale0 libvlc2 libvlccore2 vlc vlc-data vlc-nox vlc- plugin-pulse" Then I cleared the package cache : "sudo apt-get clean" I restarted my computer. Afterwards, I installed the ubuntu-restricted-extras package again: "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras" And installed the other players that were removed. Then the problem was solved. In particular, I did NOT run the update manager prior to the upgrade to ensure that your 9.04 system was at the most recent level before doing the upgrade. I didn't know it was important to do so ! -- videos don't play beacause there is no longer the correct codec https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/471047 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to totem in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
