How to play mp3 and another restricted codes in ubuntu karmic 9.10

By default, ubuntu doesn’t include mp3 codec when we installed it on our Desktop, We need to install the codec first to make it work. if not, when we play mp3, it will give us output :

An Error Occured
The playback of this movie requires a MPEG-1 layer 3 (MP3) decoder plugin which is not installed

All you need is install the restricted package ( Ubuntu restricted Extras ). Make sure you already update your repository list by command : sudo apt-get update
To install the codecs, use command :

sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras

This is will install mp3 codec, Sun java6 plugin, cabextract, microsoft font, and another library. The size is about 60 Mb. After install it, you can test your mp3 file in your favorite player

Enjoy

Install mp3 support, java support, and another multimedia codec in offline

Do you have an internet connection in your home ? If you have, you can easily download the codecs and install it to your PC, like my past article about installing mp3 support. But if you don’t have internet connection may be you need to get the package from other connection.
There is a solution that has been developed by hackt0live.org. They collect some package that needed by ubuntu to play mp3 , java, flash and another important codec and compress it on one file. This is the capture what is in package. ( For more information, just browse to hackt0live.org )

The developer of this package has share it via zhare and torrent and another user have make a mirror on rapishare. Just choose what you want. I just share the link in rapidshare, cause i have test it myself.
The link :

After download this package, extract and run file install.sh by twice click. Just choose Run in Terminal and if it ask you for password, input your administrator password. That’s it.
