Run the Restricted Extras & DVD Codecs Installer
Support for DVD playback, Adobe Flash, and several other features are not included in Xubuntu by default, but can be added with the following steps.
☐ Plug in an ethernet cable from the workbench if you are not currently connected.
☐ Install Restricted Extras & DVD Codecs
- Navigate to Menu >> Other >> Install Restricted Extras & DVD Codecs
- Answer "Yes" when prompted to confirm the installation and provide the default password when prompted.
- Wait for the installation to complete and close the completion notification when it appears; if the notification informs you that the installation has failed then proceed to the alternate installation steps below.
