Can't View MPEG's
OK - Ubuntu is running on my Latitude D810 laptop. I noticed that Ubuntu loaded a media player called "Totem". When I try and watch a .mpg or listen to a .mp3, I get the following error.
http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y14...will/error.png Does anyone know how I can resolve this? APT-GET seems pretty hard to use in Ubuntu. It never finds anything I am looking for but that maybe due to not have good source list. Thanks for any info. |
Does this help?

Man that is a pretty funky error, i don't user totem but use vlc, and somethimes gmplayer or xine depending on the file. Try running totem from command line with an mp3 or mpg like "totem *.mp3" i'm guessing and see if you get the same problem. If you have trouble finding things you must have a bad sources.list. I have no problem at all, but since i use debian sources i'm guessing it might not be too good of an idea for you to use them. If i remember correctly from surfing apt-cache, totem is xine dependent, you should check it out with "apt-cache search totem" and see what it turns out, you might be missing some package that totem requires, i find it wierd that it was installed automatically...
EDIT: nm Nylex beat me to it, i knew i should have used preview :P. |
OK - I downloaded the codecs from that link suggestion and it saved it to my users Desktop.
I ran the following command: Code:
stricom@ubuntu:~/Desktop$ sudo dpkg -i w32codecs_20050412-0.0_i386.deb |
try using another media player like mplayer or vlc and see if you have the same problem. I'd probably suggest using xine, because when i search for totem with apt i get:
Code:
totem-xine - A simple media player for the Gnome desktop based on xine |
