Enable Medibuntu in Ubuntu 8.10

Medibuntu if you don’t already know is the Ubuntu repository for non-free packages which can’t be bundled with Ubuntu for regal reasons. Acrobat reader, quick time player, windows specific video/audio codecs, DVD support and the list goes on.

Adding the Medibuntu repository into your Ubuntu 8.10 is easy.

1. Fire up your terminal and run,

sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/intrepid.list --output-document=/etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list

2. Install the GPG keys. While still in the terminal run,

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install medibuntu-keyring && sudo apt-get update

3. Install support for Windows codecs.

sudo apt-get w32codecs
