So I presume installing Fedy simply adds the codecs but I'm > unsure. Fedy can do quite a lot of stuff including install codecs but you've got to get it installed first - you launch the program like you would any other so if you can't find it after running the installation command from the homepage then something has gone wrong. I'd guess that thing was probably you not prefixing the install command with sudo? Read your computer's feedback messages more carefully, it would have told you at the time quite clearly you needed to run the command with root privileges. Try again, use sudo and then run fedy afterwards. As for the other stuff, wow, your problems just never end do they? You do indeed seem to be running the Gnome+Xorg session type now at least but gnome-shell crashing every time you open Nautilus or the System panel sounds pretty terrible. I don't want to open another can of worms but that needs serious attention as well by the sounds of it. Almost definitely going to be broken Nivida drivers. Have you tried any system that _isn't_ hopelessly broken on that workstation? It seems to be absolute nightmare...
