why can't I add restricted extras?
I have tried to add the restricted extras from the add/remove applications. It asks me to install and then appears to try to apply change but nothing happens. I would appreciate any help as I really need adobe flash player installed and from what I have read I need to change this setting first. Thanks alot.

Have you tried this guide? https:/

Try this
Open the Terminal and submit the following command
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-
LUg.

LinuxUbuntugeek, I did give that a go. It tells me the sun java package is missing, goes to a package configuration screen but I can't go any further than that. I tried clicking on the ok but nothing happens.
Kabotage, When I click on system, admin, software sources nothing comes up so I can't make any changes that this guide is telling me to do.
Thanks alot for the suggestions. Any other ideas?

To install java, search sun-java6-jre in synaptic. Or
Try another method. https:/
Goodluck!

kabotage I tried using synaptic and seemed to be making progress. The error I now receive is: msstcorefonts post-installation script returned error exit status 1. Have tried to read other posts about this problem but have just confused myself. Thanks very much for the help as I am a new user and as you can properly tell not very computer savey.

Try to reinstall the msttcorefonts.
sudo apt-get remove msttcorefonts
and if error occurs, try
sudo apt-get install -f
or
sudo dpkg --configure -a
if it worked, reinstall it
sudo apt-get install msttcorefonts
Good luck.
