Thread: Ubuntu Linux Software Orders :)

Hi all

As i said in my previous posts that we can install most of the windows softwares on linux ubuntu so opening this thread and i am sure most of the linux geeks and freeks will agree to this

whichever software you want to install on your linux please post here and will look for methods and commands to install those softwares

Just as i am starting this thread so putting in the idea to install VLC Media Player on Ubuntu as most of us use this player for the files which really do not play on other players


Simply go to terminal and type in this command

sudo apt-get install vlc

thats installed now and you can launch vlc from

Applications>>Sound & Video>>VLC Media Player

enjoy and Love Linux

Totally agreed bro, even i'm with you...

Can I install any codec packs in Ubuntu.
Also need a media player with nice interface like GOM player or something.

i wud suggest totem player..its nice..

btw..multimedia is the ONLY field where ubuntu is pretty glitch..like games, watching movies..

to install codecs..same goto add/remove or synaptic

type gstream in the search bar..and check and download all the gstream plugins..leave the pipeline editor

Yes Vishnu you can do that, please post which codecs you are talking about and totem is really a good media player you can search all codecs in sympatic package manager

if you are not getting video or audio for any DVD on ubuntu then try VLC Media Play it can play mainly all .ext files without any additional plugin or codec
