Due to the interest to my previous post on gutsy, here is the procedure to install non-free-codecs
on hardy:
- Add the Medibuntu repositories to your sources.list:
## Medibuntu. deb http://packages.medibuntu.org/ hardy free non-free
- Add the key to your keyring, reload the
sources.list
file and install the package:wget -q http://packages.medibuntu.org/medibuntu-key.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add - && sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install non-free-codecs
You need to add the key if you got to this article searching for the following error:
W: GPG error: http://packages.medibuntu.org hardy Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 2EBC26B60C5A2783
Here is the package description for the *codecs from Medibuntu:
bapoumba@scorpio:~$ sudo aptitude show non-free-codecs Package: non-free-codecs New: yes State: installed Automatically installed: yes Version: 1.1 Priority: extra Section: non-free/metapackages Maintainer: Medibuntu Packaging Team <admin@lists.medibuntu.org> Uncompressed Size: 32.8k Depends: w32codecs Description: Non-free codecs This package depends on the binaries codecs package matching your architecture (w32codecs for i386, w64codecs for amd64 and ppc-codecs for powerpc systems). It can be safely removed.
Enjoy!

Thanks for the tip on how to install the key. Very helpful.

@ma2s : for libraries like win32codecs or libdvdcss you just need to copy the deb files from http://packages.medibuntu.org/ and install them with gdebi or dpkg -i
