Ubuntu Edgy Eft

Real Player

Ubuntu Edgy Eft comes with totem plugins enabled for firefox. These plugins support RealPlayer but aren't that good. If you want to enable better support use the proprietary RealPlayer software itself.

Download Real Player from http://www.real.com/linux?pcode=rn&am Ensure that the .bin file you downloaded is executable. You can make the .bin file executable by running this command: 

chmod a+x RealPlayer10GOLD.bin

Run the .bin file by typing: 

sudo su
./RealPlayer10GOLD.bin

Follow the prompts provided to finish installing the player.

You'll need to remove the totem RealPlayer plugins: 

cd /usr/lib/firefox/plugins
rm libtotem-complex-plugin.so
rm libtotem-complex-plugin.xpt

Visit BBC news and make sure it's working.

Flash Player

Visit a page which requires Flash. Firefox will prompt you to install the Flash plugin

Java

Enable the Multiverse repositories. This can be done with the Synaptic Package Manager (accessible from the system menu option). Settings > Repositories. Run a search for jre and select the sun-java5-plugin. This will install everything you need get java working in Firefox.
