J4D jadberro@ubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [sudo] password for jadberro: Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done E: Couldn't find package ubuntu-restricted-extras this is what i get when i do this i already tried :(
Ayman Before installing the restricted extras using sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras do an update using sudo aptitude update It worked for me, good luck :)
Joe Try not to mix apt-get and aptitude, it's bad practice. You can use apt-get update or aptitude install, but don't mix both tools on your system. And I don't think this is jad's problem because Ubuntu is schedule to update the list automatically. But it's worth trying. My guess is that the multiverse repository is not enabled. You can enable it by editing the conf file /etc/apt/sources.list or using System>Administration>Software Sources. Jad if you have troubles doing it, just paste the output of the cat /etc/apt/sources.list command I'll tell you how to do it.

J4D rahmu my problem is that at first when i put ubuntu i had wired connection set up normally from dhcp , i even configured it for pppoe by sudo pppoeconf and worked fine about two days ago i lost wired and its now saying wired connection not managed
Joe A friend of mine had similar problem working with pppoeconf. Apparently there's a problem with karmic. Can you show me the content of /etc/network/interfaces? (just type cat /etc/network/interfaces)
J4D look im going to switch to ubuntu now , connect throe wireless there and ill give all the info you want :) thanks rahmu :) i really appreciate it
J4D this is what i get jadberro@ubuntu:~$ cat /etc/network/interfaces auto lo iface lo inet loopback auto dsl-provider iface dsl-provider inet ppp pre-up /sbin/ifconfig eth0 up # line maintained by pppoeconf provider dsl-provider auto eth0 iface eth0 inet manual
Joe Ok you have to edit the file. The easiest way to do it is to type: gksudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces Then comment the last 2 lines. Do it by adding a '#' at the start of the line. You can also try to comment that line: pre-up /sbin/ifconfig eth0 up # line maintained by pppoeconf. Don't forget to save before closing. Restart (theoretically you shouldn't have to restart, but I don't know the name of the right process... so just restart for now. No need to reboot actually, just logout/login). I think the problem comes from pppoeconf. (not yet suited with the new karmic ??). Anyway tell me if it doesn't work, there are other things we could do.
J4D i commented the three lines you told me about . btw im still having trouble installing the restricted package :(
Joe In the /etc/apt/sources.list file, you should uncomment all the lines that say "multiverse". I think this is your problem. Once you do it, do an update (sudo apt-get update) then install the package.
