Not yet, but here goes...
9. Tried playing an MP3, which opens in Totem but complains about
missing codec. Let it search and suggest GStreamer plugins, select and
OK. MP3 plays.
10. For good measure: Applications -> Add/Remove -> Show: All available
Applications -> Other -> Ubuntu Restricted Extras
(NB: This installs lots of stuff, including Sun Java which has a licence
you need to agree, so when it hangs during install click Show Progress
and read then acknowledge the licence).
DVD was a much bigger problem; I'm in the office so I couldn't find a
DVD to test! In the end found one, so:
10. Added Medibuntu repositories:
wget -q http://medibuntu.sos-sts.com/repo/medibuntu-key.gpg -O - |
sudo apt-key add -
sudo wget http://medibuntu.sos-sts.com/sources.list.d/feisty.list -O
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libdvdcss2 w32codecs
Actually I found Medibuntu's servers down, presumably due to the 7.04
release, so I edited (as root!) /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list,
and commented out the two existing lines, adding:
deb http://mirror.ubuntulinux.nl feisty-seveas all
deb-src http://mirror.ubuntulinux.nl feisty-seveas all
Then I imported the GPG key and tried again:
wget http://mirror.ubuntulinux.nl/1135D466.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add -
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libdvdcss2 w32codecs
All to no avail: DVD still wouldn't play.
So I tried mplayer (sudo apt-get install mplayer) and that was able to
play DVDs, but without menus.
So I tried xine (sudo apt-get install xine-ui) and that was able to play
DVDs, with menus.
Not as tidy as I'd hoped, but it is working.
