Getting "Python (v2.7) requires to install plugins" error during ripping

  • 772

I have just installed Ubuntu 12.10 from a flash drive that you create from the official ubuntu website. I am getting some errors on the system quite frequently. I have tried redoing it but I keep having the same problems. I am using a Dell Latitude E6400.

The biggest error that I keep running into and no one has been able to answer is when I try ripping a cd using Rhythmbox. I have tried other software to rip the CD but keep getting the same error regardless of what software I use. This is the error I get.

"Python (v2.7) requires to install plugins to create media files of the following type: Vorbis encoder"

Now I have installed every Python package I can find. I uninstalled Rhythmbox and reinstalled it. When this message comes up there is a the option to "Install" the missing plugin. I click it and it also informs me of an error about the package not found.

I would appreciate any help I can get from anyone. Ubuntu 12.10 looks like it has some nice features but it so far has been nothing but frustrating.

  1. You are probably missing the actual library that the Python module is a wrapper for: libvorbis. In the terminal, try:

    sudo apt-get install libvorbisenc2 libvorbisfile3
