Where can I find the nesserary codecs so I can view most streams with those fine players on KDE4? I did already install Realplayer 11 Gold (Debianlike), which has some codec for
itself (and seen by this software). But there are still a lot of streams I can't view.
Rather frustrating. Beautiful OS and little streaming...

If you say debian like you are probably after the medibuntu repository. It has all the codecs and more.

www.medibuntu.org

And if it's a Debian-derivative but not Ubuntu (or its derivatives), the Debian multimedia repo is a good port-of call:

http://debian-multimedia.org/

Thanks toad for the reply, but I have a celeron 64b dualcore.
And Debian has only the AMD 64 2core. When I try to install it warns me.
'Other architecture'.

Kryten, thanks too, but what do you want met to do with that list?
I'm only searching win64 (formerly win32).

Well, if that's all you want (this is assuming you're using Intrepid)


sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/intrepid.list --output-document=/etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install medibuntu-keyring && sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install w64codecs

I am not good in these things, but I asume these are tree lines: Yes I use Intrepid.

sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/intrepid.list --output-document=sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/intrepid.list --output-document=/etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list

I understand this line gets from the web the sourceslist and puts it in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install medibuntu-keyring && sudo apt-get update

I don't quite understand this line. But it has to do with installing something called medibuntu- keyring?

sudo apt-get install w64codecs

And this is the real install? And does it check the compatetibility between software and
hardware?
(Realplayer went easier. With a dubbleclick on the .deb file.);-)

Yes.

Exactly.

Gerard R. wrote:I don't quite understand this line. But it has to do with installing something called medibuntu- keyring?

Well, first it updates the available programs. After it's done with that, it does indeed install the key-ring. And finally, it updates the list again. The reason for doing that is otherwise the third line will complain that the package can not be verified.

Gerard R. wrote:And this is the real install? And does it check the compatetibility between software and hardware?

That's what it does, yes.

Gerard R. wrote:(Realplayer went easier. With a dubbleclick on the .deb file.);-)

Well, that would work for this too. You would only need to go:

http://packages.medibuntu.org/intrepid/index.html

And download the w64codec .deb. The problem with that is that it won't be automatically updated if a new one's released.

BTW, I didn't think realplayer was available for 64bit? Are you sure you're running the 64-bit version of Intrepid?

Check what the command

uname -a

outputs. If it's the 64bit version, it should say x86_64 somewhere in the output.

Linux xx 2.6.27-7-generic #1 SMP Tue Nov 4 19:33:20 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux
So, it is 32b.
So you think I could do with win32?

Gerard R. wrote:So you think I could do with win32?

Unless you reinstall, that's the only one that will work.

I have installed the package. All went right.
I am going to test if everything is fine.
Thank you very much for your excellent help and teaching about installing in (K)ubuntu! :shade:
I will report you what I discover next.

As far as I can see everything works fine. Thanks again.

That 32 bit version of Interprid is not a concern.
As long as this computer does what it has to do I don't complain. And it does.
Are there more of these usefull repo's?[hr]

It need not to be a gamemonster.

True enough And a gamemonster is kinda a waste of computer power to put together a gamemonster when you run Linux on it...well, okay. Not really. Only if intended the computer to be a game-machine...

Gerard R. wrote:Are there more of these usefull repo's?

There are quite a lot of (k)ubuntu repos available, but personally I've found that is is usually sufficient to:

1. Make sure all the official repos are enabled.
2. Add medibuntu
3. Add the google repo (if you want Picasa and/or Google desktop).
4. Add the wine repo (if you want to use windows programs and wants wine to be updated on a more regular basis).

You can find pretty much anything in those repos, but for specific purposes others may be useful. You may also want to take a look at getdeb.net and playdeb.net. They don't provide any repos but there are debs for download.

Thanks for the advice Kryten.
Do you accidentally have an idea about recording sound with some soundeditors?
