I reinstalled Gutsy from scratch, which gave me a good opportunity to
try to repro this.
I hope the following notes are reasonably complete.
1. Setting up
Fresh Gutsy install.
Basic Apt configuration:
System - Administration - Software Sources
- Ubuntu Software tab: uncheck Gutsy CD-ROM
- Third-Party Software tab: enable "partner" repo
- Updates tab: enable "proposed" and "backports"
Perform routine upgrade
2. Obtaining a test set
vnix$ mkdir /tmp/codectest
vnix$ cd /tmp/codectest
vnix$ wget http://www.codectest.com/codectest/streamingcodectest.zip # see
also bug #175078
vnix$ unzip streamingcodectest.zip
vnix$ mkdir not
vnix$ mv wheeliesparkpro.swf not # don't intend to test Flash at this point
3. Repro steps
Overview: I had to restart Totem twice before all the codecs where actually
correctly taken into use.
I installed them piecemeal as I was prompted for them.
In order to take good notes, I started "script" in a terminal, then ran
"totem wheelie*", and jotted comments into the transcript as I
progressed through the dialogs. I'm afraid the program was quicker than
me on a few occasions, and also my typing sucks because this is a tiny
laptop with a puny keyboard and, well, I suck.
There are three different transcripts; I will upload each with a
summary.
I have done some very light editing to the transcripts for legibility
etc; the raw transcripts are still available if you should need them.
