Ubuntu 10.04 codenamed Lucid Lynx is released! Once again Canonical and Ubuntu developers have done their best to improved Ubuntu. Just for the record Ubuntu is a Linux Operating System. The new version loads faster than Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala, is more social, allows you to easily manage and edit your photos, videos and documents and of course has a lot of bug fixes and software updates. If you haven't done it already download Ubuntu 10.04 and install it or upgrade from the previous Ubuntu 9.10 and let's get started.
Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx Features : Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Features | Ubuntu
1. Restricted Extras
The Ubuntu Restricted Extras will install Adobe Flash Player, Java Runtime Environment (JRE) (sun-java-jre) with Firefox plug-ins (icedtea), a set of Microsoft Fonts (msttcorefonts), multimedia codecs (w32codecs or w64codecs), mp3-compatible encoding (lame), FFMpeg, extra Gstreamer codecs, the package for DVD decoding (libdvdread4, but see below for info on libdvdcss2), the unrar archiver, odbc, and cabextract. It also installs multiple "stripped" codecs and avutils (libavcodec-unstripped-52 and libavutil-unstripped-49). This is a single command approach.
2. Multimediasudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
Audio and Video Playback
Playing a Video (XVid, DivX etc.) or Audio (MP3) file has become pretty easy. Just double click the file you want and allow Totem to automatically download the needed codecs. But you could also do this by yourself very easily by installing a package which contains all the needed codecs and more. Just look above at Ubuntu Restricted Extras.
DVD Playback
To play encrypted DVDs you must install libdvdcss2. In Ubuntu 10.04 there is no need to manually configure the Medibuntu repository. If you have previously installed Ubuntu Restricted Extras skip the following command. If you haven't open a terminal and type:
Next type:sudo apt-get install libdvdread4
sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh
