Danny Piccirillo giver på Reddit.com en oversigt over de vigtigste ting, man med fordel kan gøre for at få systemet helt tip-top, når først man har installeret det:
DVD Playback
Most commercial DVDs are encrypted with Content Scrambling System (CSS), which attempts to restrict the software that can play a DVD. You’ll need to install libdvdcss if you want to play them. You can do so by first installing the libdvdread4 package via Synaptic Package Manager or Terminal.
Click here to install or use the following command:
sudo apt-get install libdvdread4Then, within a Terminal window, enter:
sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.shRestricted Extras
The ubuntu-restricted-extras package includes a bunch of things Ubuntu isn’t legally allowed to ship with, namely unrar for unarchiving .rar files, Microsoft TrueType core fonts, Sun Java Runtime Environment (JRE), restricted codecs, and finally Adobe Flash Player. Like the rest of the packages and applications in this list unless noted otherwise, it’s available in the new Ubuntu Software Center (Applications ⟶ Ubuntu Software Center).
Click here to install or use the following command:
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extrasI also recommend you at least give a fair chance to Gnash, an open source flash player on the list of high priority Free software projects. To install, you’ll first have to make sure you don’t have Adobe’s flash player installed via Synaptic or Terminal.
Command:
sudo apt-get purge flashplugin-installer nspluginwrapperFinally, you can install the Gnash plugin via Synaptic of Terminal.
APT Line: ppa:gnash/ppa
Click here to install or use the following command:sudo apt-get install mozilla-plugin-gnash
Og så videre. Jeg har selv netop installeret systemet og regner med at skrive lidt om det om et par dage. Det lader til at være pænere og hurtigere end alle tidligere versioner af Ubuntu, jeg hidtil har set, men i alt væsentligt er det heldigvis bare sig selv – det vil sige, rimeligt stabilt og pålideligt.
