Totem suggests a search for suitable codec

[Chris Brown]

Binary package hint: totem

when I choose gstreamer I have to "Confirm installation of restricted software"
I confirm
I am told "The list of applications is not availabe (sic)"
Whatever I choose it starts all over again

I discovered this same issue with my Ubuntu 7.10

I discovered that no repositories at all were selected under System > Administration > Software Sources. When I selected the appropriate repositories here, this problem with Totem / Movie Player was resolved.

I believe my problem was caused by my internet connection being down when I installed Ubuntu. See my bug: Bug #155165 Software Sources ALL unselected, if no internet on Ubuntu 7.10 install

By any chance, were your install circumstances the same as mine?

[Chris Brown (chris-brown-laposte)]

Absolutely.
Thanks for the info. I'll try it out
