I followed instructions on the medibuntu site for installing the codecs to play .wma files. I checked to make sure the repositories where properly added and they are. I even tried usin VLC player.
View 4 RepliesWhen you add medibuntu to 10.04, isn't there supposed to be a "medibuntu" sub-category on the left side? I installed the medibuntu repo expecting that I'd find google earth in there. But when I added it, I didn't see it listed there - even after rebooting.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI upgraded a machine from 9.10 in the hopes that 10.04 will have fixed the audio problems that were present in the 9.10 installation -- the problem being that I have no audio. When I check the pulseaudio volume meter, it shows audio present in both channels. I've not been able to find anything where a mute button is checked.
Thinking it might be a codec, I tried to reinstall Medibuntu. I get the error message: unable to lock /var/lib/dpkg. Is another process using it. I've done a "ps -ef" looking for a process that might be causing problems, but no luck. I'm using an Intel ICH5 audio board -- if I'm reading everything correctly.
Sorry for the multiple headings, but I thought they might be inter-related. What I'd like: audio playback from an on-line source (Hulu.com). Ideas on how to make that happen will If medibuntu isn't part of the problem, just let that slide by, and I'll post a separate help "request" later.
I had my Logitech Webcam/mic working perfectly, in 8.10, but when I upgraded to 9.10, the video stopped working. The camera works in lots of other software,Cheese to luvcview to testing with gstreamer-properties But Skype's video crashes when I try to use the video camera. Usually a segmentation fault.
Lots of other threads here suggest that using the version of skpye packages in medibuntu is the solution. So I added medibuntu to my /etc/apt/sources.list, reloaded to get the latest directories. I don't see any "skype" to install, either in Synaptics or in the shell with apt-get Output from apt-cache search is
# apt-cache search skype
skytools - Database management tools from Skype to PostgreSQL
python-skype - Skype API wrapper for Python
skysentials - extra functionalities for Linux Skype client
skype-mid - Skype for MIDs
p.s. any one have clues as to why this broke going from 9.04 to 9.10?
I'm using Ubuntu 10.10 (i guess 64 bits), not the Maverick version but the new 10.10. My laptop is Acer Aspire 5715Z.
Now I was on this website and tried to add the repository to get the Medibuntu packages with the following code:

Unfortunately, I am stuck running jaunty -- because my company still requires this as our standard OS for our software. I have a computer with a fresh install of 9.04 but of course none of the medibuntu packages. Why did they take down jaunty from the medibuntu repository! Where I can get these packages now? (w32codecs, etc.)

After many days of trying to tweak Ubuntu 9.10 desktop i386. This subject will focus on my dvd drive. ...Here is what I have done, but I'm not sure what I did or still need to do, or to do different. ...
Basically the problem is, I can't play store bought DVDs, but I can play my copies of them.
When using MDPlayer that I added to Ubuntu, I can play the copies of my store bought DVDs, but not the originals. However, when using Ubuntu 9.10's movie player, it wont do anything and I'll have to do a force quit to close it.
I learned that this may because there is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution, as I'm sure you already knew.
...Yet, Most people have worked around these issues.
I came across the Medibuntu site: [url]
Running the Terminal, I added the bash command that adds Medibuntu's repositiry to Ubuntu. It also adds Medibuntu's GPG key to the keyring.
(The sudo wget - etc etc etc --quiet update)
Then I jumped down to the... "This command should be run in the Terminal, after adding the repository:" ...And did that. (sudo sed -e 's/ etc etc etc /medibuntu.list)
i just installed 10.10 on my girls laptop (Acer Aspire 5735z) hoping it would fix the old problem i had with playing real dvd's. it didnt. it keeps saying "Could not read from Resource". when i try with VLC is say "Could not read from file". but if i put in a burned movie, it plays fine. i checked and it has libdvdcss2, libdvdnav4, and libdvdread4 installed. i get the same problems with my laptop (toshiba portege m400 tablet) which runs fedora 13.

I recently discovered the medibuntu repository and wanted to add the repository to synaptic. I copied and pasted the code from this: [URL] web page on medibuntu.org's website.
The attachment shows exactly what the terminal spit out after running this command (and the command that was run - of course). What I am wondering about is the last six lines - which seem to indicate that, at a minumum, getting some key was not successful. I'm not sure how important this is; but, since I don't actually have anything I need to install from this repository right now, I wanted to be sure I'm squared away for when a time may come in the future.
After running the command I did the following to try and determine the status:
I went into synaptic > settings > repositories and looked under two of the tabs to see what was there:
The tab, "Other Sortware" Lists two entries at the bottom that stood out to me. They are:
Medibuntu - Ubuntu 11.04 "natty narwhal" (http:// packages.medibuntu.org/natty free non free) which was checked.
And:
Medibuntu (Source) - Ubuntu 11.04 "natty narwhal" (http:// packages.medibuntu.org/natty free non free) (Source Code) which was not checked.
The tab, "Authentication" lists a total of three entries. Their descriptions are:
Ubuntu Archive Automatic Signing Key
Ubuntu CD Image Automatic Signing Key
And:
Ubuntu Extras Archive Automatic Signing Key
None of those (under this Authentication tab) strike me as having anything to do with medibuntu (could be wrong though - just not sure).
Finally, I did a search in synaptic for a library I think should be available through medibuntu, "libdvdcss." I was presented with a list of eight items, none of them matching libdvdcss by title. The closest match by title and description that I could identify was, "libdvdread4" This I did as a sort of test to see if I might be accessing that repository.
Normally I find everything I need either in the documentation or forum, but it's been months, and this time I'm stumped. I'm posting the results of my latest tests, so I'm really sorry about the length of this post.
I can't play DVDs unless they've been burned by myself or a friend. I had no problems until around the beginning of April. I was running 11.2 on both my laptop and desktop. I think an update changed something. This was before 11.2 was officially retired a week or so later. I wanted to upgrade to 11.4 anyway, so I began with my laptop. During installation I wiped everything from my hard disk by creating new partitions and formatting them. After installation I installed the multimedia packages using one-click (opensuse-guide.org, not opensuse-community.org, although I did read what they said). I know one-click is not ideal, but I was curious. The result was that I still couldn't play DVDs.
I did a fresh installation, just to be on the safe side. This time I installed the packages according to Multi-media and Restricted Format Installation Guide by caf4926. But I still couldn't play DVDs, so I went through the thread Check your multimedia problem in ten steps. Then I ran mmcheck (v2.35). I tried a few times, experimented, and in the end did another fresh install.
In the meantime, on my desktop, which still has 11.2 on it, I found the file which had been changed and changed it back, so I could play DVDs on it again. It was in /etc/udev/rules.d/, 70-persistent-cd.rules. This does not appear to be the problem in 11.4 on my laptop.
I have again installed the packages according to the multimedia installation guide, and done the ten-step check and run mmcheck and these are the results as they stand:
I couldn't find a package called mplayerplug-in. I used zypper to look for it.
I tried installing the totem packages in a previous installation, but they didn't make a difference, so I left them out this time.
I deinstalled my jdk, but it doesn't seem to have made a difference, except that I get an error notification everytime I want to use LibreOffice. And I need it, so I'm putting it back soon.
So, these are my packages:
And this is what happens when I try to play a DVD using Kaffeine (since I don't an error message except from Kaffeine, and I've forgotten where my logs are):
And then comes Read error from: Error reading from DVD over the GUI.
And nothing else happens... I get no feedback from smplayer whatsoever. It opens, trys to read the DVD, and sits there. Even on the console.
