why ubuntu is called as linux for humans..it is a big bunch of hassles without an internet connection for baseline users andonly good for advanced users.cononical should made ubuntu atleast new user can do basic things easily. why the developers include their own made codecs so that offline users who r new to ubuntu will not take back their feet from ubuntu..plz take it as advice.
found a better workaround to the question i asked earlier.to install restricted extras simply run a live session on a computer with an internet connection.Open software centre type in ubuntu restricted extras,select install,after installation is complete install additional softwares u may need,lastly install apton cd. Having downloaded all the above open apton cd and choose option create,all the packages will be saved as an iso image,save the iso to your flash drive for use on the offline machine.Mount the iso image image on your offline machine and copy the folder named packages to your home folder.To avoid having to reinstall ubuntu all over again remove the open jdk packages and their dependencies ie(remove everything with the word java).having removed java open the termina l and type the followin code
Ooops forgot to mention,include vlc and rhythmbox amongst the softwares yov download,the default banshee has a lot of issues and u wont be able to do much with it.The software centre in 11.10 no longer supports offline install of .deb packages so be sure to include gdebi package installer
There are many different video formats in use, some relatively standard and accepted by all players, some not. Depending on the video format you may run into any of the following.It plays perfectly.
Only audio will play. The best bet here is to try a different player.
You get an error when the video starts. This is common for .avi files using the VLC player. (See below.) In this case, if you can then tell VLC to proceed. However be aware that some posted archives will try to get you to run a program (an .exe file) to repair any problems. Do not run this program as it most likely contains a virus. If you're not sure, err on the side of caution and don't use the archive. Note that Agent attempts to find suspicious downloads and gives you the chance to stop the download.
You get an error and nothing helps. Send us a note with the details and we'll take a look.
We recommend that you use a robust media player like these:
This is usually caused by an extremely busy server trying to free up resources to handle tasks more efficiently. The server may suddenly go offline because of a lockup, maintenance, power problem, etc., or phone line noise, which would cause the server to think that you weren't connected anymore. There is not much you can do to address the actual problem, except for making sure you have a clean connection and contacting your provider to see if they can help. You can also set Agent to retry when the error occurs.
Agent is fully functional trialware, which means you can try the program for 30 days free without making a purchase. If you like Agent, you can purchase a license. In Agent, select Help Trial Status for information on your purchase options. If you do not want to buy Agent after trying it, when the 30 day trial period is over it will cease all online operations. You will still have access to any data you have downloaded.
Additionally, as part of the offline reader concept, merely selecting an article in the Message List pane does not immediately retrieve it. Agent is designed with batch operations in mind. This means that it allows you to mark for download what you are interested in, and then retrieve them all with a single command.
You can download and install the majority of NCH Software's catalog free of charge. The free period usually lasts around one month, and during that time you have complete, unfettered access to the utility.
There are anomalies from time to time, but they can be explained: The internet is full of sites that offer free software downloads, and unfortunately for both you and NCH Software, some of these sites repack software installers and add their own bundleware. Always download NCH Software utilities directly from the NCH site to avoid this issue.
On February 20, 2016, the Linux Mint website was breached by unknown hackers who briefly replaced download links for a version of Linux Mint with a modified version containing malware. The hackers also breached the database of the website's user forum.[16][17] Linux Mint immediately took its server offline and implemented enhanced security configuration for their website and forum.[18]
Linux Mint comes bundled with a wide range of application software, including LibreOffice, Firefox, Thunderbird, HexChat, Pidgin, Transmission, and VLC media player. Additional apps can be downloaded using the package manager, adding a PPA, or adding a source to the sources file in the /etc/apt/ directory. Linux Mint allows networking ports to be closed using its firewall, with customized port selection available. The default Linux Mint desktop environments, Cinnamon and MATE, support many languages.[78][79] Linux Mint can also run many programs designed for Microsoft Windows (such as Microsoft Office), using the Wine compatibility layer. 2ff7e9595c
