Ubuntu
apt package

time to stop and ask for directions

Asked by Enigma

Nothing video plays on my computer. I finally got youtube to semi play, but there is a big flashing "0" in the video.
So, I checked the archives for video, and someone else had the same problem with none of their video working, and someone sent them to a wiki.
Well, I followed the directions on the wiki, and now I have error messages.

I did this:

sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras

and then:

enigma:~$ wget -q http://packages.medibuntu.org/medibuntu-key.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add - && sudo apt-get update
OK
