I just installed Ubuntu desktop 13.04 in my computer, dual boot with windows 7.

How to install mp3 plugin? Because I want to listen to music and watch movie, but the player requires plugin? How to solve this problem?

  • It work on fresh install, it also install unrar, flashplayer-install, MS fonts, mpeg2 and other libs. – jcubic Jun 28 '14 at 15:35

1) Try to open terminal and run following command to install mp3 library:

$ sudo apt-get install libmp3lame0

2) I don't think so. On the contrast, I think network speed is higher than Windows because of more efficient network applications. If you feel software update slow, you can change repository source by detecting the fastest source automatically.

  • @Khairul - this is related to your second problem, on the internet, which seems more serious. create a separate question on that and try to give more details –  Jun 17 '13 at 06:56
  • This don't work, I have it installed (be default) and mp3 don't work. – jcubic Jun 28 '14 at 15:32
