working automatix after upgrade?

[Periswell]

last time when fiesty went to gusty i could not run automatix as it was only for fiesty and it took some while for it to change. so my question is will it do the same for hardy?

HI and I believe that automatix is no longer being developed
Look Here (http://www.getautomatix.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=2424)
And is not needed.

oh well it just was easier to have automatix than to install all the programs by yourself

But Automatix could screw up your Ubuntu installation, and it wasn't easily reversible.

If you install a bad program via Add/Remove programs, at least you can go back to the menu to remove the program, as if you never installed it in the first place.

Assuming you are running ubuntu:

sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras

This will give you flash, java, msttcorefonts, mp3 codecs, and a load of other stuff in one metapackage.
