This thing works flawlessly in Ubuntu. What it should work in Kubuntu as well. Anyways, It is just a protocol handler for Firefox. it installs package upon click. if this fails you can try other methods.
what this Restricted package does it it installs the following packages, not just mp3:
* flash
* all gstreamer decoders
* Java Support
* Microsoft TrueType fonts
* Support for .rar files
So you unknowingly, enabled it it all. so now you don't open seprate threads, saying how to get support for above mentioned things.
About Kwin, i did just that, but i cant seem to view those effects, i can only view some translucent windows when clicked here and there, but nothing 3D or spectacular
As you can see translucent windows. It means Desktop Effects are working. Congrats. Now you just need to turn the ones you need.
Goto
K Menu --> Computer --> System Settings --> Desktop --> Desktop Effects --> All Effects
* Now choose the ones you need and click on check Box in front of them to Enable them. don't enable everything, it would slow your pc
* Most effects have special shortcut keys. to To view Shortcut key for particular effect, click on its setting their you would find the shortcut in action window. remember, META key is your Windows key(the one with windows icon)
* Also unlike Vista or Win7; you can choose what effect you want for ALT+TAB action. currently there are 4 available. Select from "Effect for Window Switching". Try all of them
hyeah:I still cannot play mp3 on amarok
Try installing
Code:
sudo apt-get install kubuntu-restricted-extrasIf this gives an error then, install the following package
Code:
sudo apt-get install libxine1-ffmpegThis will enable MP3 Support.
