sup?

@RolandTaylor same crap different day

So I'm trying to play a .M4A video on the default movie player in Ubuntu 12.04. The movie player says I am missing codecs and spits out some ones to be installed. I try to run them but an error message pops up saying "Dependencies not met". I have a bunch of error text script if you can bother reading it :))

As an alternative, could I install a better movie player no worries?

@Mochan ask that in a question; include your errir messages

If you are wondering about the downvote, it's because he is talking about commandline and you talk about network-manager and gedit.

@penreturn i think indicators are the closest to what he is possibly talking about

@jokerdino so will my answer help?

though by default, those indicators should already be there.

he might have removed it.

@smartboyhw yes, o/

@Joshua the ads

@RolandTaylor i see

Need to go bye

3:35 PM

@RolandTaylor that.is.hilarious

@aking1012 :D

@Prasad cya

Oh yeah, ads are inherently evil! how dare a company try to convince someone to buy their product/products!

er, i'm kind of mixed bag on this one since MOST of Ubuntu is not created/maintained by employees of Canonical. Not a discussion to even begin though.

@Joshua I agree!

@aking1012 lol

Don't do it man...

(frame msP for trying to kill Joshua so I can get taken out in a fit of rage by msP)

3:47 PM

(my writer side is showing :P)

I wouldn't know... I have never died before... So I don't know how the various forms compare...

Hopefully, they overlook it among other things

too late to delete it anyway...unless someone with mod powers wants to <-- which would be fine by me
