Due to the rotten lawyers, Kubuntu does not come installed with many of the 
things that you may want, like the codecs to play most popular music and 
DVD's.  You will have to add them yourself.  You do this in two steps.  First 
add the Medibintu repository to your software sources, then install the 
package kubuntu-restricted-extras.  That will take care of 99% of your music.


Directions to add repository are here:

(copy and paste the 'keyring' and then 'jaunty' code into Konsole)
