Extra plugins install prevents auto recognition that other plugins should be installed when uncompatible sound file is clicked.

Thank you for your bug. Could you attach an example to the bug. Could you run totem from a command line and copy what is written when you try to open the file now?

I am a newbie to many aspects of linux so please allow this dumb question?
How do I run totem from a command line to open the file?
(I have since erased the particular file used but other .mp3 files give
me the error
message that Totem couldn't play the file requested and the following
part was
in　English
  'There were no decoders found to handle the stream,
  you might need to install the corresponding plugins'

[ -OK- }
At this point, I click the OK button. the message dissappears
and no further help is offered.

I will try to install the codecs from the menu if there is an automatic
update selection somewhere in the menus.

Perhaps my stupidity is testimony to how good Ubuntu's user interface is?
between apt-get install "" and Synaptic Package Manager I have never before
needed to run a program from the command line.

Apologies! Please disregard my last reply. I have two virtual Ubuntu
systems running in
VMWare on my intelMacBookPro. The original bug report was my Edubuntu
7.04 install
but my reply was based on my Ubuntu 5.10 version of Totem. When I
installed them the
names were so similar I was temporarily confused.

Regarding the bug report, I had tried 3 times to install the codecs but
failed as first reported
but I hadn't shutdown before I gave up. Rebooting that partition today,
I was able to have a fresh
start. This time when I selected the codecs I got a warning message for
each one that stopped
my double click from immediately starting to install the first selected
codec. I realize now that
my double-click had hastened the process before. This time I was able to
select each set of
GSStreamer codecs and 'applied' them all at the same time so my install
went successfully
and the file played.
The short of it this is that I was not able to replicate the bug after
rebooting. - bad debugging -
but I did sucessfully install the necesary codecs. The original codec I
selected before the bug
appeared, "GSStreamer extra codecs - bad multiverse" was the only one
listed that had the
mp3 codec so I don't know why the original install that I did didn't go
well, but the conclusion
I can make is that the bug was a system glitch that was solved by
rebooting the system.

I want to thank you for your prompt response to my report. Sorry I
didn't have the time
suss it out before crying "UNCLE".

closing the bug then, feel free to reopen if you get the issue again or have a way to trigger it

Thanks. I'll try to keep my eyes open should it happen again.

On a different issue, I haven't had time to check the threads for
similar problems, or report this bug
but yesterday Edubuntu 7.04 for PPC (G3 to G5) failed to install at all
on my iBook (Clamshell type
with a 366mghzCPU). I downloaded the live CD version and the live CD
bootup would fail to
complete booting. I would get to the user logon which said ubuntu user
will logon in 10 seconds.
Well, in 10 seconds it would begin booting the ubuntu user and when the
desktop just starts to appear, the
screen goes blank and 15 seconds later the logon process repeats. I
could not logon to create my own
user name and although I could only boot into failsafe mode, any attempt
to add a user resulted in having to
use sudo. Assuming the real root is off as in the Mac I tried but here
using the ubuntu user's blank password
resulted in a wrong password or username error message. I couldn't even
get as far as changing ubuntu's
password in order to succeed in using sudo becasue a message advises I
need to use sudo in order to
change ubuntu's password! Classic chicken and egg dilemna - which came
first? But in reverse because I couldn't get
to first base. The same CD successfully booted and installed on a 350 MH
iMac (Indigo) but that installation fails near
the end of the boot process. Just how many people are working on the
PPC version (G3s to G5s) now that intel Macs have come out? I had been
hoping to use Edubuntu on our school's slew of legacy iMacs but it looks
like 6.10 Edgy Eft? is the last version that will work well on them. I
really want to be able to use Kino but it seems Kino doesn't work well
if at all on
anything less than 7.04 Fiesty Fawn (sic?). Are the codecs that the
intel i386 version of Ubuntu uses the same as those that
the PPC version uses or are they platform specific?

If you think this is worth posting or pursuing, please do. I really
don't have time to retry downloading a fresh copy of the
same CD for the PPC. The last time I did it, I had downloaded and burned
it on a Debian sarge system that has since gone
kaput.

I would imagine that there are a lot of people dissatisfied with Mac OSX
Jaguar and with no budget to buy Mac OSX Panther to replace it with.
Edubuntu offers alot more open source software than Panther does without
costing anything but after experiencing the difference between Edubuntu
6.10 and 7.04 (i386) I would prefer Edubuntu 7.04 over Edubuntu 6.10
forthe PPC on the iMacs at my school..
