Install mp3codec , microsoft fonts, and other codec in Ubuntu 9.04
if you have a fresh ubuntu jackalope jaunty ( ubuntu 9.04 ) and want to play mp3, you will find that the required software was not installed. Sometimes we need to download and some suitable plugins to play this media file. If you open openoffice, you will find there are some font , that doesn’t include in Open Office Installed. So to make all of it work you just need do 3 simple command
Open Repositories Source with command :
sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
Add medibuntu repositories to your sources.list
## Medibuntu.
deb http://packages.medibuntu.org/ jaunty free non-free
Add Gpg key from medibuntu websites
wget -q http://packages.medibuntu.org/medibuntu-key.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add - && sudo apt-get update
If it doesn’t work (Sometimes it say no valid OPenPGP data found). So you can download it manual from
http://packages.medibuntu.org/medibuntu-key.gpg
and this medibuntu-key.gpg by open software sources, and choose authentication. Look at the picture
Install non-free-codecs by using command :
sudo apt-get install non-free-codecs
