Lenovo ThinkPads rubberised finish is a matt black and quite resistant – the texture generates friction – while appearing quite smooth. I ended up picking up black underseal and on a recommendation from a friend underseal for cars. Plasti-dip is intended for use on cars, which got me thinking about things like truck bed liner so I took a trip to Halfords (for those not in the UK, Halfords is a big chain of car and bike stores generally thought of as expensive but quick-and-easy). Plasti-dip is available in the UK, but quite expensive and I’m not sure how well a “peelable” finish would work on a laptop. After doing some googling I found people reccomending plasti-dip, which is a spray on finish that appears rubberised but can be peeled off as a thin film of plastic. My T500 is pushing 5 years old now, and the corners are warn away to the plastic beneath, so I have started looking into rapairing or replacing the rubberised finish on the laptop. This is covered extensively here.Lenovo ThinkPads traditionally have a rubberised finish on the outer casing of the screen. however ffmpeg is still available from third party sources for them (such as ffmpeg source code, PPAs, and deb downloads. This was because ffmpeg was removed from the offical ubuntu repositories for a few versions.

However if you are using 14.04 (and some other versions from around that point), you can use libav-tools a fork of that project sudo apt-get install libav-tools For recent supported versions (since 15.04 (vivid), so 16.04 & 16.10 currently), this should work and will get ffmpeg from the offical repos ( here): sudo apt-get install ffmpeg The method you use to install ffmpeg depends on the version of Ubuntu you are using. Launchpad can better used with PPAs, instructions for using them can be found here. Please note that if you do not use checkinstall etc, you may need to remove the package with sudo make uninstall or similar to remove the compile program, hence why it is usually better to use packaged versions Too add a PPA You then should be able to compile and install that - instructions are available here, and usually in a README file in the stuff you download. for 14.04, here - the ffmpeg site version is ).

If you can't find that, you can usually get a source code download (e.g.

Find a 'recipe' with successful builds ( example) then download the deb files for that ( example) - get amd64 if possible for 64bit, else use the i*86 packages (for 32bit).

This can a annoying to find on launchpad (the link may just be out of date) - but is still possible to something usable ( NOTE: Read the last part of the answer before trying for ffmpeg.): If you are still running Ubuntu 14.04, you can install libav-tools (a fork of ffmpeg which temporarily replaced ffmpeg in Ubuntu 14.04) instead.įirst look for the packaged deb file for your version of Ubuntu (a deb for Debian/Mint etc may work for Ubuntu - RPMs are for fedora/centos/redhat/suse, other packaging formats are available for different distros). Other packages like libavcodec-extra57, which provides some additional de/encoders or any dev-versions have to be installed manually.

This is from an Ubuntu 16.10 installation - packages and versions are different in other editions.

For example - here my initial setup - these packages were installed after I had executed the command sudo apt install ffmpeg : ffmpeg (7:3.0.2-1ubuntu3) When you install ffmpeg using apt, the 'additional packages' are getting installed alongside automatically, maybe something went wrong in your case.

Update addressing your comment about missing packages after an installation using apt There is no need to download ffmpeg from launchpad. To install it open a terminal and execute this command : sudo apt install ffmpeg xenial | xenial-updates | yakkety | yakkety-updates - apt policy ffmpegĥ00 yakkety-updates/universe amd64 Packagesĥ00 yakkety-security/universe amd64 Packages Ffmpeg is available in the official Ubuntu repositories :
