missing the other xine codecs

[darkhatter]

here are the steps I did

I installed a server copy of kubuntu 5.10
logged in as my user
sudo passwd
created a root account
exit
logged in as root
added the universal res.
installed mc
used mcedit to change the rest of the apt-get source file
apt-get update
apt-get dist-update (I'm not sure I if I installed that right)
apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
restarted and everything worked
opened up adept and xine and java where not in there

I'm tried right now so if I spelled something wrong I'm sorry.

can you guys tell me how to fix this. I used slackware, and suse, and red hat. This is my first debian distro, so I'm really confused.

thanks in advance

P.S. don't ask me how I remember everything, I'm not sure myself

Re: missing the other xine codecs

Xine (libxine-extracodecs) and Java (Sun Java) is found in the multiverse repositories. You have to add it to your sources.list

Here are some instructions on what to do specifically (scroll down to the appropriate Kubuntu version instructions):
For restricted formats (where you will need libxine-extracodecs): https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats
For Java: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java

Btw, I guess you're knowledgeable enough about how Ubuntu discourages enabling the root account. But just in case you need a reference: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo

Re: missing the other xine codecs

I'm still use to the root account from slackware
I almost never use it

Thank you for helping

I believe I uncommented the multiverse repositories, and changed them to dapper, but it still isn't coming up

Re: missing the other xine codecs

Could you post the contents of your sources.list? it might be a problem with some repositories.
