Posted on | By Florentino Aryo Widyantoro | In linux , ubuntu
For you Ubuntu users, first thing you usually want to do is how you can play multimedia files like mp3, avi, mpg, mkv, etc with Ubuntu. By default, Ubuntu does not include multimedia codecs, for that you need to install packege "ubuntu-restricted-extras".
You can install it through Synaptic Package Manager, and locate the package "ubuntu-restricted-extras". Make sure the multiverse repository is also active. You can see it through synaptic packege manager: Settings -> Repositories.
installing with command line :
$ sudo software-properties-gtk -e multiverse
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras If the multiverse repositories enabled and the repository has been updated previously, you only need to do a third line.
If you do not have an internet connection or a local repository. Do not worry, you can search for ubuntu-restricted-extrass offline installer.
