Ubuntu said I needed to install plugins using the following command in terminal:
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
But then I got this error:
Reading package lists....Done
Building dependency tree
reading state information...Done
E:Unable to locate package Ubuntu-restricted
E:Unable to locate package extras
So,what to do now?
From your error message:
Reading package lists....Done
Building dependency tree reading state information...Done
E:Unable to locate package Ubuntu-restricted
E:Unable to locate package extras
You missed the - between ubuntu-resticted and extras so ubuntu thinks of them as different packages instead of one package. That's why you're getting that error.
Try using this command instead:
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
Ubuntu is case-sensitive (and space-sensitive), and you typed Ubuntu-restricted extras instead of ubuntu-restricted-extras. You should copy and paste the command to the terminal or install the package from the Software Centre.
On this page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats, there is a link If you are using regular, stock Ubuntu: Click here to install the ubuntu-restricted-extras package. Have you tried clicking that to see if that would work?
The thing is simple .. After fresh installation , do update by
sudo apt-get update
and then try installing it by -
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
