Now that you have installed your fav debian linux system and configured it, there is one major hurdle still left: Audio-Video Codecs.
This is a relatively easy task compared the above... so chill!!!!
After refreshing the repo according to “Configuring Repositories” post in my blog, type the following in the terminal:
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
The first thing to do after installing ubuntu (or in that case, any debian operating system) is to enable all the sources of software and packages that are available across the standard repository loop.
This is a straight forward process and involved almost no file editing...so rejoice!!!
Follow the following steps:
Open System->Administration->Synaptic Package Manager
Go to Settings->Repositories
Tick All the checkboxes in the 'Ubuntu Software' and 'Third Party' tabs except “Source Code” (unless you are interested in downloading source code)
Enable updates in the Updates tab
Close the settings window
Refresh the local database by hitting the 'Reload' button
Thats It!!!!
Adding CD-Roms With Packages To The Database
Open Synaptic package manager
Go to: Edit->Add CD Rom...
Load the CD
Wait for the process to complete
Hit YES if any other CD is left or else NO
Thats it!!!
