#format wiki #language en = Adding Extra Repositories for Multimedia Support = This guide will add the Universe, Multiverse and Hoary-Extras repositories to your system. 1) First, you should backup your existing sources.list file which contains the repositories Synaptic and apt-get use to install packages. Open up a terminal from {{{Applications}}} , {{{System Tools}}} , {{{Terminal}}}. Then execute the command: {{{ bash:~$ sudo cp /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/original.sources.list }}} Next, you should edit or replace your existing /etc/apt/sources.list file. I've included the old soucres.list and what it should look like after being edited. You'll notice that the {{{#}}} characters have been removed from the lines with deb and deb-src. You may also want to add a {{{#}}} before the deb cdrom: line if you're on a broadband connection and would prefer to use network sources. == To Replace == If you would prefer to just replace your existing /etc/apt/sources.list with the one I prepared (see NEW SOURCES.LIST), downoad the sources.list below and save to your Home directory (home/username). Then execute this command in a terminal: attachment:sources.list {{{ bash:~$ sudo cp sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list }}} You can now skip to step three. == To Edit == Start gedit (GNOME's editor), and make the necessary changes so your sources.list file looks like the NEW SOURCES.LIST shown below. Then Select {{{Save}}} and exit gedit. Don't forgot to complete step three. {{{ bash:~$ sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list }}} OLD SOURCES.LIST {{{deb cdrom:[Ubuntu 5.04 _Hoary Hedgehog_ - Release i386 (20050407)]/ hoary main restricted ## Uncomment the following two lines to fetch updated software from the network deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hoary main restricted deb-src http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hoary main restricted ## Uncomment the following two lines to fetch major bug fix updates produced ## after the final release of the distribution. deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hoary-updates main restricted deb-src http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hoary-updates main restricted ## Uncomment the following two lines to add software from the 'universe' ## repository. ## N.B. software from this repository is ENTIRELY UNSUPPORTED by the Ubuntu ## team, and may not be under a free licence.

And I don't think any of the repos above have the legaly risky but oh so important w32codecs. Have a look at ["RestrictedFormats"] 3) You now need to download the new list of available packages by execting this command: {{{ bash:~$ sudo apt-get update }}} |
