THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't understand why alot of this stuff isn't installed by defualt?? other than the codecs that I can understand due to legal terms or are DVD's playback capability also some how infringing some sort of law? I wish there was an easy 1 click way to do all of this like in Kubuntu- KDE where it asks you to install it all in 1 shot.

hello, so i utilized all the instructions, and it seems to have broken the update manager, so i figured i would try it again, after putting the forst line in the terminal- sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/`lsb_release -cs`.list --output-document=/etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list; sudo apt-get -q update; sudo apt-get --yes -q --allow-unauthenticated install medibuntu-keyring; sudo apt-get -q update

i get this message- Reading package lists...
W: Duplicate sources.list entry http://packages.medibuntu.org/ lucid/free Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/packages.medibuntu.org_dists_lucid_free_binary-i386_Packages)
W: Duplicate sources.list entry http://packages.medibuntu.org/ lucid/non-free Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/packages.medibuntu.org_dists_lucid_non-free_binary-i386_Packages)

W: Unable to munmap
E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.

right now there is a icon in the top right part of the computer saying- An unresolvable problem occurred while initializing the package information.

Please report this bug against the 'update-manager' package and include the following error message:

'Wuplicate sources.list entry http://packages.medibuntu.org/ lucid/free Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/packages.medibuntu.org_dists_lucid_free_binary-i386_Packages), Wuplicate sources.list entry http://packages.medibuntu.org/ lucid/non-free Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/packages.medibuntu.org_dists_lucid_non-free_binary-i386_Packages), Eynamic MMap ran out of room.

My guess is that because you ran it twice it put identical entries into your sources.list. This is not serious, it just complains about it. See this post for a suggestion to correct your sources.list if you didn't save a backup copy.

Hi Jimbob,thanks for your help, so i read the first link, but didnt have a cd to copy the sources list, so i just went back to the edited sources list and removed the lucid entries, it seemed to remove the warning in the update manager, but maybe that means i wont get updates for lucid again?.

the second link, im wondering if i just copy and paste what is in that link.

i used this tutorial mainly because im looking to be able to use my ipod, that ive just purchased, and figured maybe something in the medibuntu repos would help, i have post in other threads for ipod nanos but nothing yet.
thanks.

One of the most useful & comprehensive how-tos.
One suggestion : can you please update for "mozilla-mplayer" ? This is not available anymore.Since mozilla-mplayer is not available any more do the following to play apple trailers:
remove: mozilla-plugin-vlc, totem-mozilla

install gnome-mplayer (libdiscid0, libmusicbrainz3-6, mplayer)
install mplayer-fonts (good to have)
install gecko-mediaplayer

Thanks for this how to I have used it many times.

One question how do I get the attached video clip to run with out constantly sputtering and stopping?? It itu h.264 or something.

I tried it with VLC amd deinterlacing enabled and has no effect!

Thank you.

Just installed 10.04 on my Revo R3610 and trying to follow this guide.

Unfortunately it fails in 2 places:

1.

sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/`lsb_release -cs`.list --output-document=/etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list; sudo apt-get -q update; sudo apt-get --yes -q --allow-unauthenticated install medibuntu-keyring; sudo apt-get -q update

This didn't add the repositories to the .list file and I had to add them manually.

It also complained about no public key being available, but the message is long gone in the terminal window.


2.

64-Bit Ubuntu Users:

sudo apt-get remove gnash gnash-common libflashsupport mozilla-plugin-gnash swfdec-mozilla && sudo apt-get install alsa-oss faac faad flashplugin-nonfree gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad-multiverse gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly-multiverse ia32-libs ia32-sun-java6-bin icedtea6-plugin libmp3lame0 non-free-codecs openjdk-6-jre unrar

This results in the error message below:

Reading package lists... Done

Reading state information... Done
Package gnash is not installed, so not removed
Package gnash-common is not installed, so not removed
Package libflashsupport is not installed, so not removed

E: Couldn't find package ia32-sun-java6-bin

Certainly never had any problems following this guide before. Has it been updated for 10.04?


Thanks in advance for any help.
