Sorry, I should give a bit more context on this issue to clarify things. The test for this issue comes from the ISO tests for the Ubuntu Desktop for Raspberry Pi images. The test intends to check whether a fresh install can play a video "out of the box". The video used in the test is https://archive.org/download/BigBuckBunny_124/Content/big_buck_bunny_720p_surround.mp4 which is downloaded and opened normally.
The video deliberately uses a codec that isn't seeded and installed by default (but is a commonly used format) in the expectation that totem will guide the user through installing the necessary bits (which it used to back in groovy, but doesn't since -- incidentally the reason this wasn't noticed in jammy is because it failed to even open the video at that point, but that's now been fixed). Seeding gstreamer1.0-packagekit is probably fine (the whole of gstreamer's in main). Seeding gnome-software is likely not (given we're using snap-store for software delivery currently). Is app-center intended to fill that gap in future? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to packagekit in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2060730 Title: totem cannot install codecs via packagekit Status in App Center: Triaged Status in packagekit package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in totem package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: While attempting to play a video on Ubuntu noble desktop for raspberry pi, totem attempts to locate a package for the H.264 codec but cannot find a service providing org.freedesktop.PackageKit. This is strange given that packagekit is installed, provides packagekit.service, which declares that it provides that name over DBus. Specifically, the following is output by totem: ** Message: 21:13:39.000: Missing plugin: gstreamer|1.0|totem|MPEG-4 AAC decoder|decoder-audio/mpeg, mpegversion=(int)4, level=(string)4, base-profile=(string)lc, profile=(string)lc (MPEG-4 AAC decoder) ** Message: 21:13:39.000: Missing plugin: gstreamer|1.0|totem|H.264 (Main Profile) decoder|decoder-video/x-h264, level=(string)3.1, profile=(string)main (H.264 (Main Profile) decoder) ** Message: 21:13:39.414: PackageKit: xid = 0 ** Message: 21:13:39.414: PackageKit: desktop_id = org.gnome.Totem.desktop ** Message: 21:13:39.414: PackageKit: Codec nice name: MPEG-4 AAC decoder ** Message: 21:13:39.414: PackageKit: ignoring field named level ** Message: 21:13:39.414: PackageKit: ignoring field named base-profile ** Message: 21:13:39.414: PackageKit: ignoring field named profile ** Message: 21:13:39.414: PackageKit: field is: mpegversion, type: gint ** Message: 21:13:39.414: PackageKit: structure: gstreamer1(decoder-audio/mpeg)(mpegversion=4)()(64bit) ** Message: 21:13:39.414: PackageKit: Codec nice name: H.264 (Main Profile) decoder ** Message: 21:13:39.414: PackageKit: ignoring field named level ** Message: 21:13:39.414: PackageKit: ignoring field named profile ** Message: 21:13:39.414: PackageKit: structure: gstreamer1(decoder-video/x-h264)()(64bit) ** Message: 21:13:39.434: PackageKit: Did not install codec: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.freedesktop.PackageKit was not provided by any .service files ** Message: 21:13:39.441: No installation candidate for missing plugins found.
