I installed Ubuntu very first time over Window 7, but when I played a MP3 song it shows a "Python (v2.7) requires to install plug in to play media files" message. What to do? Help me! I have searched over the internet but found nothing there...

  1. Press Ctrl + ALt + T to open a terminal.

  2. Write the following in terminal followed by Enter

    sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras

  3. A prompt will ask for password, after entering the password type y for yes when asked. Wait for the installation process to over.

  4. Now try to run the MP3.

Try to update your repositories and then install ubuntu restricted extras.To do this run the below command on terminal,

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras

  • +1 for mentioning you need to update the system before you install, since this seems to be a fresh installation. – jobin Feb 16 '14 at 17:05
