I can confirm this is still the case in Ubuntu 13.04 Alpha 1. Worse yet, my earlier workaround of installing gstreamer0.10-fluendo-mp3 manually no longer works. This apparently leaves me with no legal means of playing back mp3 files in Ubuntu.
It's disappointing that I have consistently run into this exact same bug now across all of my installs of the past three releases with no apparent fix available (with the sole exception of Oneiric). This is the sort of thing that forces me to keep Windows around. :/ -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/932103 Title: Cannot install MP3 playback support; silently fails To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gstreamer0.10-fluendo-plugins-partner/+bug/932103/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
