I've just visited my son and installed Mandriva for him, the same version I have here. As he's of a different generation to me, he likes watching videos. The problem is sound. He is being prompted to pay 28 euros for a codec pack whereas when I play them (both of us are using Firefox 3.0.15), they work fine and I didn't cough up any dosh. An example is this one - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQcNiD0Z3MU
Any ideas anybody please?
Hi If you add the Penguin Liberation Front repositories to your repositories you will be able to add the codecs for free. Go to Easyurpmi - http://easyurpmi.zarb.org/ And just click on Add PLF Media,
Next time you should be given the option of downloading from the codecs from PLF.
Mandriva ONE usually includes most codecs.
Hope that helps Nick Daniels
BTW, I am very impressed with 2010, it is very very fast on KDE
