This page describes how to install certain features into the Ubuntu distribution Gutsy Gibbon. I am making it for my own benefit so I can help people install Ubuntu and get everything going, but I will be glad if others benefit from this page. I cannot attest to the accuracy of anything here and I am not a linux expert.

Contents 1 NTFS read write 2 XMMS audio player 2.1 Audio formats in xmms 3 VLC video player 4 Pile of video codecs

NTFS read write

One of the common windows file systems is NTFS. When installed Ubuntu only has read access to these drives. To allow write access:

Go to "Applications->Add/Remove". In the search box type "NTFS". Check the check box by "NTFS Configuration Tool". Click "Apply changes".

Now under "Applications->System tools->NTFS Configuration Tool" you can turn NTFS write access on and off for internal and external drives.

XMMS audio player

This audio player is almost identical to winamp in appearance and features. It has plug-ins that support most major audio formats.

xmms

sudo apt-get install xmms

You can now find XMMS program under "Applications->Sound & Video->XMMS"

Audio formats in xmms

.wav,.mp3

Supported already

.wma

sudo apt-get install xmms-wma

.shn

sudo apt-get install xmms-shn

.ape

sudo apt-get install libmac2 xmms-mac

.flac

Instructions needed

• Close an open xmms if it is already open.

VLC video player

With this player most video files will just play. Exceptions include quicktime and real media files which do not play in VLC.

VLC

sudo apt-get install vlc

You can now find VLC program under "Applications->Sound & Video->VLC media player"

Pile of video codecs

Confirmed to get Real Media files working in totem movie player(which should be already installed by default), otherwise untested.

Video codecs

sudo aptitude install gstreamer0.10-pitfdll gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg gstreamer0.10-gl gstreamer0.10-plugins-base gstreamer0.10-plugins-good gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad-multiverse gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly-multiverse libxine-extracodecs w32codecs
