Public bug reported:
Steps to reproduce:
1) Open Rhythmbox and select the Ubuntu One Music Store.
2) The top of the window will say "MP3 playback support is not available. It
must be installed to play Previews and Purchased Music on this computer." A
button marked "Install" is provided after that message; click it.
3) Accept the "MPEG Layer-3 audio decoding technology notice" dialog that comes
up.
4) A dialog asking for authentication to change software repository settings
will come up. Provide your password.
5) A progress bar will appear in Rhythmbox. Another dialog asking for
authentication to install or remove software will come up. Provide your
password.
6) The progress bar and notice will now disappear.
Expected behavior:
MP3 playback support should now be installed and working.
What happens instead:
Installation silently fails; no error messages are given, even when running
from a terminal. Previews will not play and you can't play any MP3 files you
have. If Rhythmbox is closed and reopened, the notice and install button from
step 2 above will reappear.
