Re: One stop reference for enabling multimedia in Linux
All the softwares are managed by package managers(apt,dpkg) in Debian and Ubuntu.
For connecting to internet if u have dataone connection or any adsl pppoe is here:
*www.thinkdigit.com/forum/showpost.php?p=493033&postcount=12
^ its easy!
for dialup internet it can be done by wvdial and pppconfig.
*www.ubuntugeek.com/setting-up-dial-up-connection-in-ubuntu.html
for this u need to know Terminal(rightclik on Desktop to "open terminal" or menu Applications>Accessories>terminal)
u r the local user so "$" prompt for root user "#" prompt.
local user does not have the right to modify and access all services.
ur home folder is where u got almost all rights (/home/user/)
First site u should visit after installed feisty is:
*ubuntuguide.org
^ there it explains all well.
first make sure u have the /etc/apt/sources.list looks as mine or uncomment(remove "#") to enable the repositories.
Code:
# # If you get GPG errors with this sources.list, locate the GPG key in this file
# # and run these commands (where KEY is replaced with that key)
# #
# # gpg --keyserver hkp://subkeys.pgp.net --recv-keys KEY
# # gpg --export --armor KEY | sudo apt-key add -
