Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: k3b
When K3b is executed and the MP3 plug-in is not installed, it shows this
error text in the "System Configuration Problems" window:
"Mp3 Audio Decoder plugin not found.
K3b could not load or find the Mp3 decoder plugin. This means that you will not
be able to create Audio CDs from Mp3 files. Many Linux distributions do not
include Mp3 support for legal reasons.
Solution: To enable Mp3 support, please install the MAD Mp3 decoding library as
well as the K3b MAD Mp3 decoder plugin (the latter may already be installed but
not functional due to the missing libmad). Some distributions allow
installation of Mp3 support via an online update tool (i. e. SuSE's YOU)."
This problem is fixed by installing two packages which are in the default
sources.list in Feisty, libk3b2-mp3 and libmad0. I can think of several
improvements to the situation:
1. Install libk3b2-mp3 and libmad0 by default. The error window would not ever
be shown.
or
2. Change the text in the error window to something which is more
Ubuntu/KUbuntu-specific. For instance:
"Mp3 Audio Decoder plugin not found.
K3b could not load or find the Mp3 decoder plugin. This means that you will not
be able to create Audio CDs from Mp3 files. Many Linux distributions do not
include Mp3 support for legal reasons.
Solution: To enable Mp3 support, please install the MAD Mp3 decoding library as
well as the K3b MAD Mp3 decoder plugin. To install these files, please run the
Adept Package Manager and install the libk3b2-mp3 and libmad0 packages."
