Audio Codecs

Have you ever wanted to play a .mp3 file in Ubuntu, well due to legal issues, Ubuntu does not ship with the codecs. If you would like them, you will need to install the following. Open up the terminal

sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg

sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-fluendo-mp3

sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-gl

sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad

sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad-multiverse

sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly

sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly-multiverse

sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.8-lame

sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.8-mad

sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.8-misc

Feisty Fawn?

So… if you haven’t heard yet, I am going to tell you now. The next Ubuntu release name Feisty Fawn is coming out April 19th. No offense to any other OS, but, this is only 6 months after the release of Edgy Eft. Currently, they are in Herd 4 testing and if you would like, you could go ahead and test it out yourself. In fact, currently, I am downloading the Herd 4 and will be installing it on this computer later today. If you would like to download the iso image. You can visit the ubuntu forums until I post the links here.
