Linux : Ubuntu : Install Ubuntu Restricted Extras



Ubuntu does not come with the codecs to play non-free audio and video formats. It does not come with other non-free stuffs like Flash etc. Ubuntu 11.04, however, provides an option to downland and install them during the installation. However, if you are like me and did not select it during installation to speed up the install, you have to install them separately.

These packages are available as ubuntu-restricted-extras. To install, open the Terminal and execute the command below:
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
