It would help if you gave us more info, like what type of codec you are trying to play, what website you downloaded codecs from etc.

The easiest way to get your codecs and other non-free stuff installed in one of the *buntus is to install and run Easy Ubuntu.

Under Debian, I found it the easiest ever:

Quote:

You can find them in the Marillat repository, I use this mirror in my /etc/apt/sources.list file:

deb http://mirror.home-dn.net/debian-multimedia/ etch main
deb-src http://mirror.home-dn.net/debian-multimedia/ etch main

Check this page for a mirror closest to you. So, for the w32codecs we would do this:

# apt-get install w32codecs

Cake.
