Ultimate Edition Forum

Hello PPL and welcome to the U.E 2.6 multimedia guide.






After a round of tests the system's ultimate 2.6,
And Redo tests on multimedia, mixers, additives, etc..
I found it necessary to release the first part of the guide will take you forward with confidence.
The reason is simple - things work exactly as I wrote the manual on the subject.
True that there are certain variables between the various systems 2.5 to 2.6.
But they can jump very safely by following the correct processes.
Also The servers of medibuntu back on line (recently downloaded for upgrades)
What makes the process run faster and better.

There are five very orderly process for the user in the process of installing the system on his computer.

1 - Install system (longer then U.E 2.5 ultimate system installation) - please be patience,
Also you will see a process that I still could not figure out the production line Ubuntu system.
Processes terminate at least 100%,
But the Ubuntu family got 168% load,
and then back to 78% during the installation process!
Who said there is nothing new under the sun?
Ubuntu probably has different writers to make there calculation.

2 - At the end of the installation process go to configure current system,
the first thing would be to give your user all privileges to work the system.
Under => System => Administrator => Users and Groups.
Please confirm all the options (if you do not work with Samba, has the potential to skip the Samba-related).

A - Setting Fire Wall.
C - Refresh then Update /Upgrade Synaptic.
D - downloading and installing the new package of Ubuntu Tweak,




And refreshment / loading of Ubuntu Tweak synchronize databases of the software.
The system update / upgrade in the terminal.

3 - after the previous step, update is - ( 133 updated packages on the first stage).
Have to restart your computer for the change kernel to 2.6.32.21.
It is very important not to try to change the process to enter kernel to work properly.

So much in fact we made all the frame work of preparing the system correctly.
Hence actually started work installing the packages, Then configuration of software, etc..
Please remember one thing and maybe most important fundamental in the multimedia work on your station.
The system will cover all the different programs to work "only with 3 mixers working together".
That is, Elsa Mixer, Pulse audio, switch devices (preferably confirm the default mixer per session - Alsa).
And do not forget firefox plug in - MediaPlayerConnectivity , for networking (Audio Video).
And adding Ubuntu Tweak source of flash.
Add course Synaptic java (3 packages) of the system to work properly on the network.

Course to be added to the Restricted Drivers, medibuntu - from 3 Party source of Ubuntu Tweak.
Another option introduction medibuntu our sources databases can be as follows (copy and paste in Terminal +Enter).

Install Mplayer in Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid) some fix for the codecs on U.E 2.6- from the terminal

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install mplayer

Now there will be kind of long process to follow and do (kind of scary one) =Do Not worry about it !

First install the mediaplayerconnectivity in FireFox add-ons.

Then to the process that will Update/Upgrade the system codecs from the old codecs to the newer.
I ask you to insert Y in the terminal - After you will see tons of packages to Upgrade there,
And again = No worry about it it will be just fine - Nothing will go wrong with your system!!!

Code: Select all

sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/$(lsb_release -cs).list --output-document=/etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list

Then:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get -q update

Then:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get --yes -q --allow-unauthenticated install medibuntu-keyring

Then:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get -q update

For i386 Users - 32 bit:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install w32codecs libdvdcss2

For amd64 Users - 64 bit:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install w64codecs libdvdcss2

In the end of the process - just Update/Upgrade your system,
close the terminal,Restart your machine and you are done with the codecs update.

I Have EDIT THE Guide for 2.6.

GOOD LUCK TO YOU ALL.

Most of your code is broken. Even hitting the "select all" link and pasting into a terminal doesn't work. I even retyped the commands directly into the terminal and it didn't work. (and yes, I know enough to take out the $$ you left all around in there)
Also, most of the commands in your code section don't work... the app-install-data-medibuntu in particular comes up as not found (and yes, I've updated apt)
Also, read through your code and you'll see that you instruct people to apt-get update two times in a row (instead of update and then upgrade). Noobs will catch a fit trying to use your method.
Perhaps someone could help hammer out some of these kinks? I went about it a different way and got everything I need working just fine (including flash), but I'm not confident enough to write a guide.

I just re-read my post and I sound like a jerk... that's not what I was going for! Sorry Amir, I think you've got a good start, but it needs some polish and perhaps some code checking.

hey! don't try taking over my job as jerk! Ok, all kidding aside, Amir is from Israel, relies on translator progs. to do much of his work here...we've all been very busy, and worked many hours...so it's easy to miss some things sorry for that...but we won't be offended if you catch something wrong and point it out...we'll try to fix it, or if you know the fix, and are sure of it, don't hesitate to post your solution..and remember most importantly, leave the jerk comments to me...it's about all I'm good at...lol! oh, and by the way welcome aboard!!! hope you enjoy your stay!

This is FAR better! Excellent update and well done. I seem to have missed the part where we installed Flash, though... :0?

Man, I got to say that just cracked me up! Thanks for sharing!

Hello PPL.

Here you can find the packages that have to be install on your system to get all the support.
The packages are with the name that you use under synaptic search.
Hope this will solve allot of issues with Multimedia for you.
